Ship another 60,000 chips to Eric Froehlich. He opened from late position for 15,000, then called small blind Salvatore Tamburello's all in of 60,000 total.

Peter Jetten opened to 15,000 from early position and only Ryan D'Angelo called from the big blind. As you can tell, D'Angelo is probably the most active player in the tournament right now. He's involved in the majority of hands at his table.

Bax shows his horses how it's done.
Cliff "JohnnyBax" Josephy got a nice little lift courtesy of Alexander Queen. Queen opened the button for 14,000 before Josephy, in the small blind, made it 40,000. Queen was undeterred, four-betting all in. Josephy picked at his cards one more time and then called. Queen sensed he was in trouble.

Neither player improved. Josephy's ace-king was the best hand and took down the pot, sending Queen to the rail in the process.
"How much did he have?" Josephy asked the table. "For the Twitter."
We eyeballed the total of Josephy's new stack at about 550,000.

Mike Beasley contemplating a previous all in.
Phil Ivey started the day near the top of the counts but has been steadily dropping. After recently butting heads with Ryan D'Angelo, Ivey's stack had dwindled to about 110,000. Sitting in the small blind, Ivey called an under-the-gun raise to 14,000 from D'Angelo. Big blind Mike Beasley, wearing a hat that reads "ACES SUCK", also called.
Everyone checked a flop. Ivey also checked the turn. Beasley did not -- he bet 21,000, drawing a quick fold from D'Angelo. Ivey called.
