Tom Masinter is out after shoving his last ~12,000 from the button on a no-look shove. The big blind quickly called with

.
The board ran out 
, and Masinter's day is done.
Victor Ramdin opened to 1,100 from middle position, and the Alexander Rocha three-bet to 2,750 three seats over. When it came back to Ramdin, he didn't waste too much time announcing an all in, and Rocha tanked for a minute or so and made the call.
"Aw, shit," Ramdin said.

After battling through a bout of food poising, Phil Hellmuth has joined the field with a full stack, sitting in the five hole at the table that incudes Victor Ramdin and Scott Montgomery.
"What ever you do," Hellmuth said to us, "don't order the beef whatever from room service."
Level: 7
Blinds: 200/400
Ante: 50
That's another two levels down, and the players are off for their final fifteen-minute break of the day. When they return, they'll play two more levels before the chip bags come out.
We wish we'd seen the preflop and flop action for this one.
When we joined the hand, there were four cards out on a board of 
. It looks like Eric Froehlich was the preflop raiser, but Cary Katz was the one doing the betting from the small blind. He flicked out 3,000, and Froehlich called to see the on the river. Katz grabbed 6,000 more chips and spun them into the pot, and Froehlich eventually called.
"I have a nine," Katz said, and Froehlich leaned forward and grimaced. Katz tabled 
for two pair, and Froehlich didn't like it, mumbling quietly as he mucked his cards.
E-Fro is back down around 26,000 now.
Erik Seidel and Carlos Mortensen saw the flop come down 
. Seidel bet 1,000 and Mortensen called.
The turn was the and Seidel bet 2,000. Mortensen called again.
The river completed the board with the and Seidel checked. Mortensen bet 5,000 and Seidel called.
Mortensen tabled the 
for aces and jacks. Seidel couldn't beat that and mucked his hand, dropping back to 26,000. Mortensen improved to 49,000.
From middle position, a player raised to 800. Eddy Sabat called from the button and everyone else folded. The flop came down 
and the original raiser bet 1,300. Sabat raised to 2,850 in position and his opponent called.
The turn card was the and both players checked to see the 
fall on the river. The first player bet 4,600 into Sabat. Sabat called, but mucked after his opponent tabled 
for a flopped full house. Sabat dropped to 27,000 in chips after losing this pot.
