Brent Burrows opened from middle position and watched a couple of players call before Robb Cussen reraised to 2,200 in the big blind. Burrows called, and everyone else folded.
Cussen bet 2,400 after the 
flop, and Burrows called once again. The 
hit the turn, and Cussen increased his sizing by an order of magnitude, moving all in for 24,075. Burrows, who was covered, thought for about a minute before letting his hand go.

Mark "P0ker H0" Kroon just walked by and guaranteed to us that he would finish the night as chip leader. If he fails?
"I'll do naked cartwheels through this casino," he said.
Let's hope Kroon can come through or everyone may soon be a loser: we who will look on in shock and awe, and Kroon, who will be facing indecent exposure charges.

After Jason Smith called a raise on the button from a player in the cutoff, the flop came 
. The cutoff bet 800, and Smith popped it to 2,200. The cutoff came back over the top for 5,200 total, and Smith responded by putting his opponent all in, and the player made the call.
Cutoff: 
Smith: 
Both players had flopped strong hands: Smith with bottom two pair and the cutoff with top pair and a flush draw. Most of the drama ended when the 
fell on the turn, giving Smith a boat and leaving his opponent with just two outs. The 
was a blank on the river, and Smith collected his opponent's stack.

About half of the tournament field is situated downstairs from the main tournament floor, in the cash game room, as the field size is too large to fit up here on the fourth floor.
We went downstairs to see how things were progressing down there, and we spotted recognizable players such as Matt Alexander, Ken Payne and Mark Kroon working to increase their stacks.
In one hand we caught, Alexander check-raised to 600 out of the big blind after his under-the-gun opponent bet 225 on a 
flop. The player called, and Alexander bet 1,000 on the 
turn and was called again. An completed the board and prompted 3,000 from Alexander, and his opponent finally gave up.
