Christopher Bonn raised to 25,000 from the button only to find Eugene Fouksman three-bet to 65,000 from the small blind. Bonn called and the flop fell 
. Fouksman announced a bet of 80,000 but before he could even get the chips in the middle Bonn announced that he was all in. Fouksman heaved a sigh and folded his cards, awarding Bonn the pot.

Tuan Phan opened the action with 30,000 from the button and Ed Stannish shoved from the big blind for 231,000. Phan stood up and wondered aloud, "The question is do I want to gamble?"
Phan asked for an exact count and then asked Stannish, "How much do you like your hand?"
"I'm pretty comfortable with it," Stannish replied.
Phan continued to think, stood up from his chair and then called after a few more moments.
Phan: 
Stannish: 
The board ran 
and Phan jumped up to the top of the counts with Stannish's elimination.

With the board reading 
, three players checked around to Tuan Phan on the button who bet out 34,000. Ed Stannish made the call and the other two players got out of the way.
The turn brought the 
and both players checked. The board paired again on the river when the 
hit. Stannish pushed out a bet of 43,000 and Phan went into the tank.
"You have straight draw?" asked Phan.
"I don't have a straight draw," replied Stannish.
"You don't have a straight draw, hm?" said Phan. Phan flung in a call and tabled 
and Stannish mucked his hand. Phan clapped and jumped away from the table and was able to scoop a nice sized pot.
