After an early double up, Chesterton, Indiana's John Slaughter has continued to rise through the ranks.
He joined one limper in a recent pot, then did so again when the button made it 1,500 to go and the original limper called.
Both checked the flop and when the button fired out 2,000 chips they both folded. But despite this recent setback, Slaughter is still killing it on over 60,000.
Ami Sharma has been building all day long, but just took a step back.
He wasted little time making the call with when one shorty shoved for 6,700 in front of him. Unfortunately for Sharma the shorty held and it held on a board.
Sam Desilva jumped up to 50,000 in chips after a massive hand where he got it in with a straight draw and got there to bust two players after one called the clock on him.
Since then he's almost doubled that without having to show down too many hands and now finds himself in the chip lead.
After dipping a little over the past level, Marianne Deguzman used some timely aggression to right the ship moments ago.
She flatted a 1,400-chip open from a player in early position, as did the player in the small blind. Then when the flop fell and the small blind checked, the original raiser fired out a 2,100-chip bet.
Deguzman wasted little time raising, making it 6,050. Both players folded with the original raiser showing .
A few fireworks on a flop with a healthy pot already sitting in the middle has sent MSPT Pro Blake Bohn to the rail for the second time today and vaulted Peter Kim into a spot among the leaders.
Bohn, Kim and a third player in the hand all pushed in post-flop with Bohn on , the third player holding and Kim having them all crushed with .
There's always a sweat and the turn provided one, giving Bohn and the third player a straight draw, but the river looked nothing like a ten and Kim scooped with the set.
