We saw a three-way flop of 
and the action was folded to Jan Suchanek, who led out for 725. The player in the small blind now check-raised heavily to 6,500 and that was enough to scare off both opponents that were still in the hand.

The players are now on a 15-minute break.
"I lost with a full house again," Tam Truong informed us.
Truong, who was eliminated from the Day 1b flight when his full house fell to quads, explained that while he technically lost with a full house, it wasn't as bad as it seemed. He had actually got his stack in preflop holding 
only to run into an opponent's 
.
The board ran out 
, so Truong had been drawing dead even before he made the full house. The hometown pro said that he plans to play in tomorrow's Event #2 $2,200 No-Limit Hold'em, so we'll see him back in action then.

A player in early position opened for 350 only to have Phil Hellmuth three-bet to 850 from the cutoff. The button and both blinds folded, and then the original raiser made a quick call to see a flop of 
, which they both checked.
When the 
appeared on the turn, the early-position player checked and Hellmuth bet a modest 400. It did the trick as his opponent shook his head and released his cards.
