The headline pretty much says it all, Paul Wasicka lost about half his stack when he got all his money in with Aces against Kings...and his opponent spiked a third cowboy. Wasicka's stack now stands around 5,000.
With only 700 left David Benyamine moved all-in after a 600 raise and was naturally called. Benyamine's A-K dominated his opponent's A-J, but after a Queen and a Ten on the flop the other player caught his King on the turn for Broadway and knocked Benyamine out.
Dutch Boyd raised to 300 pre-flop, a middle-position player called, and a late-position player re-raised to 1100. Boyd moved all-in for his remaining 1800, the middle-position player folded and the late-position player called.
Boyd showed K-K while his opponent showed... Q-7 offsuit. The flop was a mind-bending Q-7-3 and the turn and river were of no help to Boyd. He was down to 1800 in chips after the hand.
The temperature inside the outdoor tent is much more bearable now than it was at the start of play today. WIth the A/C blasting it's down to about 80 or so degrees in there as opposed to a sweltering 95+.

During the break Hellmuth and Doyle were relaxing in the VIP Lounge. Doyle bet Hellmuth that he couldn't make three putts in a row on the putting green there. Chalk one up for Hellmuth! He won $18,000 from Doyle for making all three putts. That was a nice break for Phil.
