: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Joao Simao opened to 10,000 from under the gun and Eric Blair shoved all in for 74,500 from the big blind. Simao got a brief count and then called to put Blair at risk.
Eric Blair: J♥J♦
Joao Simao: K♦Q♦
The flop came A♦9♥5♥ and Blair's pocket jacks were still in the lead. The A♣ on the turn and the 3♥ on the river changed nothing, giving Blair a much-needed double up.

Brock Wilson raised to 11,000 on the button and Myles Mullaly shoved all in for 107,500 in the small blind. Brandon Wilson also stuck in his 107,500 chips from the big blind and Brock Wilson snap-called as the big stack.
Myles Mullaly: 9♠9♣
Brandon Wilson: Q♣Q♦
Brock Wilson: A♠K♠
"Lots of action," Jim Collopy said as an onlooker.
The board ran out 7♠6♠6♣J♦5♣ and Brandon Wilson's pocket queens held up to eliminate Mullaly and put a dent in Brock Wilson's chip stack.

: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Jim Collopy opened to 10,500 from under the gun and John Riordan ripped all in for around 50,000 in the cutoff. The action folded back to Collopy who quickly called to put Riordan at risk.
John Riordan: K♦Q♥
Jim Collopy: A♣10♣
The flop of 6♥3♦2♣ didn't connect with either player but it was the A♦ on the turn that paired Collopy and left Riordan drawing dead to the 6♦ on the river.

: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
"500,000 chips or reenter," has been the motto for Cary Katz since he sat down after the first break of the day. So far, Katz is well on his way to 500,000 chips and not having to reenter...as of yet.
Michael Brinkenhoff raised it up in middle position and Brandon Wilson called in the cutoff. Katz came along from the big blind and the flop of K♠J♠4♠ hit the felt. Brinkenhoff continued with a bet of 15,000 and Wilson called. Katz check-raised all in for 125,000 and Brinkenhoff reshoved all in. Wilson called off his stack of just over 100,000 and all three hands were tabled.
Brandon Wilson: A♠10♦
Cary Katz: 10♠5♠
Michael Brinkenhoff: A♦K♥
Katz flopped the best hand with a flush but Wilson had the best odds to overcome it with a better flush draw. The 5♥ on the turn and the 6♥ on the river bricked out and Katz celebrated.
"500k, here we come!"

Michael Brinkenhoff has been active at the table in front of the media desks. After just sending a good portion of his chips across the table to Cary Katz who had quad kings, Brinkenhoff wasted little time getting back in the saddle.
On the very next hand, Brinkenhoff got tangled up in a pot with Joe McKeehen on his left and Brinkenhoff got the better of the former WSOP Main Event champion, sending McKeehen to the rail.

Myles Mullaly raised it up from under the gun and Sean Winter stuck in a three-bet from the small blind. Mullaly four-bet jammed all in for 108,000 and Winter quickly called.
Myles Mullaly: Q♣Q♦
Sean Winter: 10♠10♥
The flop came K♣9♥7♠ and Mullaly was still in the lead with the better of the two pocket pairs. The 5♣ on the turn and the 9♠ on the river both bricked out and Mullaly held on for a double up.
