Shortly after taking a massive chunk out of the stack two seats to his left, Gregory Fishberg sent that same opponent to the rail.
The hand started with Fishberg's opponent opening for 4,500 in the hijack, and Fishberg calling on the button.
The flop came 
, and both players checked.
The hijack check-called a 15,000 bet from Fishberg on the 
turn.
The hijack checked again on the 
river, Fishberg bet 125,000, enough to cover his opponent, and the hijack called. Fishberg tabled 
for the flush, besting the opponent's 
wheel straight.
Fishberg told PokerNews that he's been playing tight all day, and he appears to be in the chip lead with two levels to play. Fishberg was the Day 1c chip leader in the Parx Big Stax 300, and has a shot at accomplishing the same feat on Day 1a of the Big Stax 500.

His opponent, on the button, had Fishberg covered by 100,000 chips, and after a couple of minutes of tanking made the call. Fishberg turned over 
for the full boat, and his opponent mucked,

Facing an early-position limp, Cleiton Barbosa raised to 4,500, Bryan Georges called in the big blind, and the early-position limper called.
The flop came , and the early-position player led out with a jam, pushing his entire 14,000 into the pot. Barbosa called, and Georges, having Barbosa covered, re-shoved.
Barbosa called, and both he and the under-the-gun player were at risk.
Early Position: 
Cletion Barbosa: 
Bryan Georges:
Georges was ahead and on the verge of going over the half-million chip mark with a win. The turn, however, brought in the flush for Barbosa, as the hit the board. The river 
sealed the win for Barbosa, sent the early-position player to the rail, and took a chunk out of Georges' stack, which still sits at over 300k.
