Eddy Sabat and William Reynolds were pining for some love in the blog, so here's a round of shots from Neil Stoddart to appease the masses.
We had a feeling there would be fireworks when Chino Rheem was moved to the direct left of Faraz Jaka. Less than two levels later, Rheem is out and Jaka has a ton of chips, more than double the amount of second place.
As told to us by Jaka before the break, he raised preflop and found two callers, one being Chino. A flop came down and he made a continuation bet that chased away the mystery player, but Rheem came along to see the turn. Jaka fired a big bet and Chino again called, landing the 
river. Another bet from Jaka, this time 100,000, was called by Rheem who mucked when Jaka showed 
.
Not long after, Chino shoved for about 15,000 under the gun and Jaka called from the big blind with . Chino was crushed with and was unable to survive the 
board.
The following hand, the player in the cutoff opened and Jaka three bet from the small blind. The cutoff called and a 
flop came down. Jaka bet a small 2,000, his opponent called, and the hit the turn. The chips went in there and Jaka tabled 
for a set. His opponent was drawing dead with ace-queen, giving his chips to Jaka.

The players are on their final 15-minute break of the day.
With 28,000 in the middle, and the board reading 
, Arnaud Mattern was faced with a 12,000-chip bet. Mattern raised to 32,200, and his opponent went into the tank.
"Will you show if I fold?" he asked Mattern.
Mattern then mentioned something about a drink, and his opponent laughed then folded. Mattern opened up 
for a draw, and then motioned a waiter over.
"What are you having?" Mattern asked the player.
"A Coke," he responded.
Mattern added a Coke to his order, and raked in the pot.
