Vanessa Selbst and Ryan D'Angelo both had solid days as well, finishing with 542,600 and 450,800, respectively. Phil Ivey also quietly built a stack, ending the day with 356,600.
Also making it through were Team PokerStars Pros Vanessa Rousso, Dennis Phillips and Marcello Del Grosso. Fellow Pros Daniel Negreanu, Gavin Griffin and Angel Guillen were not as fortunate, failing to survive the day.
An unofficial 125 players remain and will return tomorrow. We'll be right back here to continue our coverage noon EST so be sure to return then.
, Danny Suied was all in again. He raised before Roland Isra moved all in. Suied called off and rolled over two jacks again. Isra held a better pair though with pocket aces.

Flop:

- Froehlich checked again, then called the button's 15,000 bet.River:
- Froehlich took a 19,800 stab at the pot. His opponent tank, eventually making the call. "Nice call, I missed," Efro said, tabling . The button threw his hand away after seeing Froehlich's. Odd that he couldn't beat jack-high. Turns out that he had rivered a ten but mucked the winning hand because he thought Efro had said he'd made a straight. There's a nice 80,000-chip present for Efro, who is up to 235,000.
Here at Mohegan Sun (according to a floor summoned to a table after a hand), the house rule is that a player involved in a hand is entitled to an exact count of his opponent's chips if he requests it. This prompted some debate as to how the count is to be delivered: whether the dealer is required to count down the stack, whether the player is required to count down the stack, or some other method.
One player argued that he should not be required to do anything than show all of his chips to his opponent so that his opponent could eyeball them for himself. His theory was that counting chips is a skill required for live poker.
Most other players at the table disagreed, but the specific issue of how the count was to be delivered (if requested) was never explicitly resolved.
"You could ask every floor in here and get a different answer from each of them," said another player at the table.
