With 1,200 chips in the middle, the board read 
between five players. Action was checked around by the first three players to the fourth player. He fired a pot-sized bet of 1,200. Allen Kessler called behind him and then Arnaud Mattern folded. The next two players also folded.
The bettor showed the 
for two pair, but Kessler's 
had him beat. Kessler won the pot and pushed to 59,000 in chips.
Dwyte Pilgrim is keeping busy. Just now he raised to 450 and was called by the player on the button. Both players checked the 
flop and watched as the was put out on the turn. Pilgrim quickly bet 650, the button called, and the was put out on the river. It went check, bet 1,200, and call as the button showed 
for ace high.
"You're playing the wrong game, sir," Pilgrim said as he turned over his winning 
. "That'd probably work in you home game." Pilgrim is up to around 44,000.
Three players limped to see a flop of 
, which they all checked. When the 
hit the turn, the small blind checked, followed by Jerry Yang in middle position, and the button bet 500. After the small blind folded, Yang made the call and watched the peel off on the river. Yang was first to act and didn't take long to bet 1,200. The button wasn't happy but made the call nonetheless. Yang rapped the table in acknowledgement that'd he didn't have a hand and the button showed to take down the pot. Yang is sitting with right around 22,000.
We just caught the tail end of the pot, walking up as the board read 
. On the turn, there was about 12,000 in the pot, and we joined the action as the player on the button either bet or raised to 8,350 to put the decision on Dwyte Pilgrim. He had his mind made up already, and Pilgrim moved all in with a covering raise. His opponent tanked and folded, and that pot moves Pilgrim up to 40,000.
Just before the break, a pot developed between David "ODB" Baker and Matt Affleck. With about 2,000 in the pot and a flop of , action checked to Affleck and he bet 1,200. Baker made the call as a player in middle position got out of the way. When the dealer burned and turned the 
, Baker checked and Affleck fired out 2,500. Baker remained steadfast and made the call. Both players then checked the 
river and Baker flipped 
. Affleck simply mucked as he dropped to 24,000; meanwhile, Baker is up to around 40,000.
