Adam Teasdale has just taken the chip lead in dramatic fashion.
He opened the action with a raise to 25,000 from the hijack and was called by the player on the button. Ryan Moriarty three-bet to 61,000 from the small blind, both players called, and the flop came down .
Moriarty bet 65,000, but Teasdale popped it to 140,000. The player on the button folded, putting the action back on Moriarty who tanked for about 45 seconds before re-raising all in for about 505,000.
Teasdale called and tabled , trailing (but with many outs against) the of Moriarty.
The fell on the turn to keep Moriarty ahead, but it gave Teasdale a few extra outs. On cue, the landed on the river to give Teasdale a queen-high straight to score the elimination.
Brian Nguyen just earned a huge double-up through Wade Woelfel in a hand that saw Woelfel raise, Nguyen reraise-shove, and Woelfel call. Nguyen had and Woelfel . The flop came to give Nguyen a set. Then the turn improved Nguyen's hand to an unbeatable full house, making the on the river too little too late for Woelfel.
Woelfel counted up his stack of more than 200,000 afterwards, declaring he wasn't worried and that he still had plenty of chips to work his way back into contention.
"I'm going to win this," he said with a shrug. And the next hand was dealt.
