Adam Lamphere busted his first bullet of the weekend.
Meanwhile, Adam Friedman, and Jason Zarlenga have joined the tournament. The former is a World Series of Poker bracelet winner, while the latter counts two MSPT titles among his poker accomplishments.
Adam Friedman opened to 450 in middle position and got one caller before Charlie Dawson pushed all in for 1,350. The player in the cutoff called, as did Friedman and the next player.

Leroi made it 3,800 in the big blind, and only the player on the button called. The flop came , and Leroi bet 4,300. His opponent called fairly quickly. The turn was a . Leroi moved all in for 11,900. The player on the button tanked about two minutes and folded.
