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.

Shannon Shorr raised it up from under the gun and Christian Harder defended from the big blind. The flop fell 7♠7♦5♣ and Harder checked to Shorr who continued with a bet. Harder check-raised to 11,000 and Shorr clicked it back to 19,000. Harder called and both players were left with a stack less than the size of the pot.
The turn brought the Q♣ and Harder checked again. Shorr slid out his entire stack of 33,000 and Harder quickly released his cards to the muck.

The players are being sent on their first break of the day which will be 20 minutes in length. This will also bring an end to the live straddles which seemed to be very popular amongst the players in the PokerGO studio.
With the straddle employed, Michael Berk raised to 14,000 on the button. Jeremy Becker used a time bank before moving all in for 133,500 in the small blind. Cherish Andrews reshoved all in from the big blind which got the straddle and Berk to fold.
Neither player wanted to show their cards and the dealer proceeded to run out the board. The flop came 9♥7♥4♥ and Becker announced that he had a flush, although many at the table did not believe him.
The 9♠ and J♣ completed the board and Becker whipped over Q♥J♥ to show that he indeed had a flush. Andrews rechecked her cards and then tossed them into the muck as she passed over half of her stack.

After a couple of preflop raises, Victoria Livschitz and Murtaza Muzar got all of their chips in the middle with Livschitz at risk for around 60,000. She turned over the best hand and was in a great position to double up.
Victoria Livschitz: Q♠Q♥
Murtaza Muzar: J♥J♣
The flop fell 5♠4♠2♣ and Livschitz was still in the lead with the better of the two pocket pairs. However, the J♦ peeled off on the turn which flipped the script. The 6♥ completed the board and Livschitz was headed to the rail while Muzar stacked the pot.
