After an opponent raised to 7,000, Team PokerStars Pro Gualter Salles raised all in for 65,900. The original raiser called and the cards were on their backs.
Salles: 
Opponent: 
The flop, turn and river ran out 
and Salles' hand held to give him the double up.
Bill Chen open-shoved for his last 35,500 from middle position, and the action folded to a player who called out of the big blind.
Showdown
Chen: 
Opponent: 
The 
flop gave both players a pair, but Chen was drawing to a flush. The 
on the turn took away Chen's king outs, but he could still make a straight or a flush. The spiked on the river to give him a winning flush, and Chen doubled to over 70,000 chips.
"Just got lucky," Chen shrugged. "Good call."
Action folded to the player on the button and he raised to 7,000. Shawn Buchanan called from the small blind and Manny Jo called from the big blind.
The flop was 
and Buchanan led for 8,500. Jo folded and the button made the call. The turn was the 
and Buchanan check-called 12,500 from his opponent before seeing the

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.
