Al Bianco finally got a hand to hold.
Suffering through a three outer on the river is bad once. Bianco was on the wrong end of that equation three times yesterday. It's hard to blame him for thinking the worst when he got it in with two tens on a nine-high flop versus 
. After all, he was facing even more than three outs.
Fortunately, Bianco held on this time and joins the Level 5 leaders.

A fast start for perennial contender Alex Visbisky saw him get to 20,000 early, then open a pot for 700 with the 
. The player to his left made it 2,500 and Visbisky flatted, taking them heads-up to a 
flop with two hearts.
Visbisky's opponent ripped it in for about 17,500 with just the 
. He called and turned a heart for the flush.
Visbisky will now cruise into Level 5 with 40,000.

Bill Lewandowski has exploded into flames and is burning all those who dare touch him.
He made a set of threes to send Peter Raimondi to the cage with big slick on an ace-high flop. Then he made the nut straight against against Al Bianco's top two pair to force him to reenter as well.
It's only the third level of the day and Lewandowski has 65,000 already, making him the fastest there in five flights.
In fact, Lewandowski is busting people out as fast as they can fill the seats at Table 5 and running away with the flight moving towards the day's first break.
