Team PokerStars Pro Chad Brown has made his way to the exit thanks to a nasty river.
With four limpers in front of him, Brown made it 1,500 to see a flop. Matt Forestieri made the call and led out for 4k on the 
. Brown flatted and the turn brought Chad`s 
a second pair, so when Forestieri fired another 5k, he shoved his last 7,300 in.
Forestieri held the 
and when a diamond fell on the river, Brown was shown the door.
"That was Chad Brown?" Forestieri asked moments later. "I know he was pretty mad, but I didn't know he was Chad Brown."

We attempted to grab a word with 2008 November Niner Dennis Phillips on the break but couldn't find him. When cards were in the air again following the break we found another player occupying his seat.

Yet another Texan is quickly climbing the leader board here in Durant.
This time it`s Plano`s Chris Walker who ran up to the top of the counts when he got it in with an ace-high diamond flush draw against top pair and got there.
At one point he had it up over 60k, but a yacht sunk his boat in a 25,000 chip pot and he`s now holding steady above the 50k mark.

Scotty Nguyen opened from under the gun to 1,200 and an opponent from middle position called. Action folded around and the blinds released. The flop came 
and Nguyen said, "Let's play easy, baby," and tossed out 1,200.
His opponent smiled and tossed in a call to see the 
turn. Nguyen put out 1,200 again and his opponent raised to 3,000.
"Why you gotta do that, baby?" Nguyen asked as he folded his hand.

The player who busted Todd Brunson seems to be putting his chips to good use.
Shreveport, Louisiana`s Mark Burford was the man who did the deed and after turning two pair to sink Todd`s big slick, he`s continued chipping up.
While his former tablemates have taken to calling him a fish, Burford is swimming his way up the leader board with close to 60k.
