With 275,000 chips in his stack, Jonathan Aguiar had an excellent-sized three-bet shoving stack. That's what he did from the button after David Fox opened with a standard raise. In the process of folding from the small blind, Scott Seiver inadvertently exposed the {K-Spades}

. That couldn't have thrilled Fox, who called with {A-Hearts}

. Aguiar turned up {Q-Clubs}

and made the second nut flush on a board of {2-Clubs}

.

Bax and Rousso Battle Again

donpeters

Vanessa Rousso raised from the cutoff set to 25,000. Cliff "JohnnyBax" Josephy called from the big blind and the two took a flop of {9-Diamonds}

. First up was Josephy and he checked. Rousso checked behind.

The turn card brought the {10-Spades}

and Josephy passed action to the Team PokerStars Pro again. Rousso fired 25,000. A moment later, Bax check-raised to 80,000. It didn't take long for Rousso to call.

The river was the {J-Hearts}

and Bax took his time before firing out 160,000. Rousso tanked for a couple minutes and then decided to let her hand go, flinging it into the muck. Losing that pot put her down to 850,000 chips while Bax moved up to one million.

A Little Slower Now

[user75032]

In thirty minutes of play since returning from dinner, not a single player has been eliminated. More cautious play is the rule right now. Consider, for example, a hand played between Derek Raymond and Elio Fox. Raymond opened for 28,000, then called Fox's re-raise to 72,000. Both players checked the {4-Hearts}

flop. On the turn, Raymond checked and then folded to a bet of 100,000 from Fox.

pitted against Casement's {A-Clubs}

. The flop was a safe {7-Hearts}

, and the

on the turn was a welcome sight for Ivey fans. The {5-Hearts}

on the river filled his boat just for fun, and Ivey doubled up to just over 300,000.
