Ted Lawson was faced with a large bet from Eddy Sabat with the board reading 



. Lawson deliberated for a moment before tossing the call in and Sabat rolled over 
for a flopped set of jacks.
"I had a king," Lawson sighed mucking his cards.
Sabat increased his stack to 485,000 while Lawson is severely short-stacked with just 45,000.
Eric Buchman and Philippe Plouffe got all the money in on the flop of 

. Buchman held the 
for top pair. Plouffe held the 
for bottom set.
The turn brought the
and the river the
. Buchman sent over the 360,000 or so that he owed Plouffe and dropped all the way down to 155,000 in chips.
Faraz Jaka opened to 22,000 from late position and the action folded to Super High Roller winner Eugene Katchalov who moved all in for 132,000. Jaka thought for a moment then tossed in enough green T25,000 chips to make the call.
Jaka: 

Katchalov: 

Jaka's lead was squandered when the flop fell 

giving Katchalov a pair of kings. The
on the turn did not improve Jaka's hand, nor did the
on the river, doubling Katchalov to 275,000 chips and dropping Jaka to 700,000.
We caught up with the action on a 

board and Eric Froehlich check-called a bet of 63,000 from Calvin Anderson. Both checked the
turn card and when the
hit the river, Froehlich checked again. Anderson bet 99,000 and after about minute, Froehlich called.
"You got it," said Anderson, turning over 
for a missed open-ended straight draw. Froehlich tabled 
for queens full of sevens and collected the chips.
Anderson: Down to about 275,000
Froehlich: Up to roughly 1,360,000
With 60,000 chips in the middle, Scott Wilson checked to Chris Oliver. He fired 29,000 and Wilson called. The turn brought the
and Wilson immediately fired out 71,000. Oliver made the call.
The river completed the board with the
and Wilson checked. Oliver fired 85,000 right away and Wilson made the call. Wilson tabled the 
right after he called, showing two pair. Oliver turned over the 
for just seven high.
Team PokerStars Pro JP Kelly was just eliminated. He was all in preflop with the 
and up against the 
for Hernan De Leon. Kelly was dominated and after the board ran through 



, he was sent to the rail.
Faraz Jaka opened to 22,000 from late position and Ted Lawson moved all in for 137,000 more from the small blind. Eugene Katchalov then re-shoved from the big blind and Jaka got out of the way. The hands were turned over and Lawson was dominated.
Lawson: 

Katchalov: 

Lawson couldn't find a four on the 



board and was eliminated from the tournament. Meanwhile Katchalov is becoming dangerous; he now has 480,000 chips.
We recently witnessed a three-way, all-in pot involving James St. Hilaire, Eric Buchman, and Thomas Finneran. St. Hilaire had the other two players covered and the cards were turned up:
Finneran: 

Buchman: 

St. Hilaire: 

Finneran was in the lead but had to dodge a lot of over cards, which he did on the 

flop. The
on the turn gave Buchman and St. Hilaire a plethora of outs to make a straight, and it was the
on the river that gave St. Hilaire the aforementioned hand. Buchman and Finneran were both eliminated on the hand while St. Hilaire stacked his newly won chips.
The very next hand, Steven Burkholder moved all in from the cutoff with 
and was called by the 
St. Hilaire, who was still stacking chips from the previous hand. The 

flop was no help to Burkholder while the
on the turn provided some chop outs. Luckily for Burkholder, the river was the
and it was indeed a chop.
