Among those in the audience today are Erick Lindgren, Gavin Smith, and Allen Kessler. John Phan just stopped by to shout some encouragement to Chris Bell. Mike Sexton’s cheering section includes Linda Johnson and Sexton's brother Tom, a PokerNews columnist. Humberto Brenes was here earlier (and almost got run over by the boom camera), as was Noah Boeken.

Hand #21 - Andy Bloch

Andy Bloch has the button in Seat 5. He opens for a raise and Mike Sexton calls from the small blind. The flop is {8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades}. Sexton checks, Bloch bets 125,000 and Sexton calls. The turn is the {7-Diamonds}. Sexton bets 365,000, Bloch raises the pot to 1.2 million, Sexton lays it down, and Bloch rakes in the pot.

Props to Mike Sowers

Like I said, you get busted from a WSOP final table, you don't much feel like talking. But Mike Sowers has returned after a brief absence to conduct his interview with ESPN. When you think about the histrionics some players display after they get busted, it's heartening to see a 21-year-old like Sowers handle himself like a pro, prudently take some time to cool off, and return for his interview.

Hand #25 - Nenad Medic

Chris Bell has the button in Seat 2. Nenad Medic raises to 110,000 and Andy Bloch calls from the big blind. The flop is {10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and both players check. The turn is the {6-Clubs}. Check-check again. The river is the {8-Diamonds}. Bloch checks, Medic bets 175,000 and Bloch calls. Medic shows {K-Spades}{9-Spades} for a ten-high straight and wins the pot.
