Andy Spears "won a silly pot" for some change to move up in the chip count and so did David Eldridge. The latter just three-bet big and then called a four-bet shove with 
only to see the pot chopped versus 
.
The board was almost rushed away but we saw the pocket aces of an opponent mucked and heard Ron Carrocio saying "oh my god, how can you run so stupid good?" Carrocio had 
and flopped a set to crack the overpair of the opponent on a jack high flop for what looked like 130,000 chips.
Andy Spears raised and then called the all in of a short stack for 29,000 with 
. He played against 
and despite an additional flush draw on the 
flop, both the 
turn and the 
river bricked.
On the 
flop, Ravi Raghavan was all in for 52,200 and was able to dodge a flush draw with 
to double up again. The board completed with the 
turn and the river.
At the same table, Mack Hill also had a great start as well and one table over, Niall Farrell is up to 200,000 too despite losing one hand just now for more than 40,000 chips.
Jack Salter previously mentioned that he had been tortured by table neighbor Ron Carrocio and it comes as no surprise that the Brit also busted against the very same player. He got it in with a straight flush draw and Carrocio woke up with a set on the flop.
The boss busted me OBV got straight Fd and got all in. He had a set and held. Want this guy to TID so much. He has almost 500k now! #vamosFollow @jackziyang
Ron Carrocio is proving he's no push over at the tables. He came into play today with over 250,000 in chips and is seated directly to the left of Jack Salter who had this to say on Twitter about Mr. Carrocio:
I made friends with old guy on my left. He 3bet me 4 times in first 35mins and I folded every time #tasteofmyownmedicine #HPOFollow @jackziyang
Salter was even more impressed after Carrocio picked up a good sized chunk of chips from another big stack on a 
flop and showed the bluff with 
.
"Us old guys can play too," said Carrocio after Salter slapped him on the back.
Old guy on my left is a beast. He defend sb and c/r huge 863ccc then 4 bet flop to 100k and shows A5dd. #bosssssssssssssssssssssssFollow @jackziyang
Carroccio impressed Brian Hastings as well:
Old guy at my table just 4bet flop over 100bb deep on T74ccc and showed A5dd after getting a fold. So sick! #HPO2014Follow @brianchastings

The 
board was already complete and Pieter de Korver walked away from his table in agony with the words "wow what a river." What happened? He had flopped bottom set and kept betting throughout the board and Thomas Lutz rivered the straight with 
to get a full double up.
