Daniels Gets Some Back
Shawn Daniels was as high as 64,000 at the break, but things weren't going his way after. He had fallen down to around 40,000, but he just won a nice pot to get back to almost 60,000.
The flop read 
, and Daniels was heads up in position. His opponent led out for 1,725, and Daniels came along. The turn was the

Nguyen Nails Another Knockout
Former November Niner Soi Nguyen was one of the late registrants in this tournament, and he benefited greatly from the starting table he drew. Nguyen built up a stack to 50,000 before getting moved, but he hasn't slowed down since, as he just collected another bounty to get up to 75,000.
We caught up with the three way action on a flop that read 
. David Miscikowski led out for 2,000, and the next player to act moved all in for 15,000. Nguyen was on the button, and he thought for about 20 seconds before moving all in, having both players covered. Miscikowski got out of the way, and the cards were tabled.
Nguyen: 
Opponent: 
Nguyen would need to dodge a club to win the hand, and the board completed with red cards: 
on the turn, and on the river. Nguyen locked up the knockout, and is one of our chip leaders as we approach dinner.

Singontiko Soars After Dinner
Young David Singontiko knows plenty about going deep in big events. Last summer, he won his very first WSOP bracelet event for a shade under $270,000, and he also has a Circuit Main event final table under his belt, when he finished 4th at the Bicycle Casino in January. Well he's been steadily chipping up all day, and we just caught him taking down a big pot, while also knocking out a player.
We caught up with the pair in action on the turn, with the board reading 
. Singontiko was facing a bet of 5,500, and he responded by raising to 16,000. His opponent quickly assembled his stack into a tower, and slid it into the middle, and Singontiko snap called.
Singontiko: 
Opponent: 
Singontiko just had to fade a king, and he did that, as the river was the 
. After that pot, Singontiko is one of our leaders, with 85,000.

Clinkscales Gets Cut Down
Well a solid contender for name of the tournament has just been eliminated shortly after the dinner break. Rex Clinkscales had about 45,000 coming back from the dinner break, but that stack quickly evaporated in the 20 minutes since we've come back. We caught the end of the hand that did most the damage.
The board read 
, and with about 18,000 already in the middle, Clinkscales fired out 15,500. This sent his opponent deep into the tank, and after about two minutes, he made the call. Clinkscales mucked his hand, and his opponent tabled for trip fives.
"I was worried he flopped a set of sixes," his opponent said as he pulled in the chips. Clinkscales was eliminated shortly after.

board. Lindley fired out 5,000, and her opponent quickly called her. The river brought the , and after shuffling her chips for about 30 seconds, she checked. Her opponent quickly checked behind, and Lindley tabled for top pair top kicker. Her opponent flashed 
for an inferior hand, and the pot was sent over to Lindley.
After that pot, she is now up to 41,000.
