Riley Busts Barnhart

Sam Barnhart- Min Cash
Sam Barnhart- Min Cash

We didn't catch the action, but we saw that Sam Barnhart was all in preflop holding {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}. He was racing for his tournament life, as Sean Riley held {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. Riley caught a jack on the flop, and another one on the river for good measure, and he collected the bounty, upping his stack to 310,000.

Meanwhile, Barnhart will have to settle for a min cash here in LA

Roussakis Ropes In A Double

Erik Roussakis got the last of his stack in the middle preflop, holding {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}, and he was in great shape against the {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} of our former chip leader David Malka.

Roussakis had Malka drawing nearly dead after the flop came down {q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{j-Hearts}. Malka would need to catch runner runner, but the {4-Clubs} didn't do that. The river was the {k-Diamonds}, and Roussakis collected the double up to 183,000, while Malka was knocked down to 570,000.

Bundy.... Bluffs?

A player raised to 10,000 from the hijack, then the player in the cutoff reraised to 27,000. Jason Bundy was on the button and he made the call. Action folded back to the original raiser who also made the call.

On the {K-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop, the first two players checked, the Bundy decided to make a bet of 45,000. Everyone folded.

Someone at the table asked Bundy to show the bluff and he obliged, turning up {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}. Bundy is now right around 260,000 chips.

Bjerno Aiming for His Second Title

Fresh off his win in Event #5 $585 No-Limit Hold’em, Nathan Bjerno is trying to get his second title already.

We just saw him play a big pot with one of the chip leaders, David Malka.

With the board reading {A-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{q-Hearts} Bjerno moved all in for right around 200,000 chips. Malka, who was on the button, went into the tank and ponder over his decision a bit before finally folding.

That hand brought Bjerno up to 335,000 and put him up on our top chip counts.

Adam Weinraub=This Year's Freddy Deeb?

We pointed out earlier in the day that Freddy Deeb was trying to repeat his performance from last year by registering on Day 2 and winning the tournament. Well Adam Weinraub is doing his best to do that himself. Weinraub brought in this morning with less then 15 big blinds to start, and he has worked that up to over 500,000!

Nam Le Straight Flushes David Randall

With around 50,000 in the pot already, and the board reading {Q-Spades}{7-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{j-Clubs} Nam Le and David Randall were heads up.

Action went check, check on the turn and the dealer dealt out the {8-Clubs} river.

Nam took a second to check his cards and slowly bet out 23,000. David Randall tanked for a little bit before throwing in one of the new T25,000 chips to call.

"I have the ten," Le said before turning up his hand, {J-}{10-Clubs}.

"That's a straight flush," Randall said, laughing.

And Le raked in the pot with the immortal nuts.

Suzie Zhao Only Plays Aces

We haven't seen Suzie Zhao play many hands today but the ones we have seen, she's had aces. The last hand we saw was no different. She had two players at risk this time.

Zhao: {A-}{A-}
Player 1: {10-}{10-}
Player 2: {J-}{10-}

The flop came out {6-}{5-}{5-}{q-}{9-}, and Zhao locked up a double knock out.

"You guys only post the hands when I have aces!" Zhao said to us after the hand.

Maybe so, but Zhao is now up around 370,000
