Antonio Esfandiari raised to 1,500 preflop from middle position and received calls from the hijack, cutoff and big blind. All the players checked their options as the board ran out 
. In the end, Esfandiari showed 
and took down the pot. He currently sits with 85,000.
November Niner Matthew Jarvis, who ultimately finished in 8th in the WSOP Main Event, is in action today although he has been relatively quiet. In a recent hand, a player in middle position raised to 1,700 and Jarvis reraised to 5,625 in the cutoff. The reraise was enough to take down the pot and the November Niner is up to 39,000.
Action folded to Eric Baldwin on the button and he raised to 1,550. The big blind called and then checked the 
flop. Baldwin fired another 1,700 and the big blind decided to get out of the way. Baldwin is up to 50,000.

A player in middle position raised to 1,500 and action folded to Matt Affleck in the small blind. He called the raise as did the player in the big blind and three players saw the 
flop.
It checked around to the on the turn and Affleck bet out 3,000. The big blind called while the middle position player got out of the way. Affleck then bet 6,000 after the dealer burned and put the 
on the river. The big blind didn't take long to fold and Affleck took down the pot. He is up to 26,000.
David "Doc" Sands was under the gun and raised to 1,350. Action folded to the player in the cutoff and he put in a raise to 4,200. Sands gathered the rest of his chips and pushed them forward, amounting to a raise of 15,175 more. The cutoff made the call and the cards were turned up:
Cutoff: 
Sands: 
Sands was firmly in the lead with his pocket rockets and the 
flop kept him there. The turn and 
river changed nothing and Sands doubled to around 40,000.
Our last check on November Niner Joseph Cheong had him down around 10,000 chips, but it appears he's a bit worse off than that now. Cheong's chair is empty, his chips are missing, and he is presumed busto.
Level: 7
Blinds: 300/600
Ante: 75
Players are now on a 15 minute break.
With about 10,000 in the middle and a board reading 
, Chris Moneymaker checked to Richard Toth who quickly bet 3,525. Moneymaker tossed in a single 5,000 blue chip to make the call and Toth instantly mucked his cards. Moneymaker did not show his own hand as he raked in the pot and increased his stack to around 50,000. Toth is down to 15,000.
