Scott Seiver raises to 10,000 under the gun, and Brent Bibby calls from middle position.
The flop comes down an innocuous-seeming -- but both players seem to like it. Seiver opens for 15,000. Bibby makes it 30,000. Seiver is serious and makes it 75,000, to which Bibby responds by moving all in. Call.
Seiver:
Bibby:
I'm going to tell you first of all that the river was the , because the really fun, I mean sick, bit was the turn. Which was the , making quads for Seiver and knocking out Bibby in the ugly outdraw of the day.
"Oh well," comments Snoopy, "They're not playing for much money."

The very real possibility of making the final table seems to have slowed the action down somewhat. With those blinds creeping ever upwards, though, and the average stack currently standing at around 25 big blinds, something has to happen fairly soon.

David Singer is your current chip leader with 240,000. A true stalwart of all forms of the game, David is one of those players who quietly goes about his work, his lack of overall fame not quite measuring up to the impressive record of results he holds.
Boasting almost $4 million in tournament winnings, including a million-dollar win in last year's Caesar's Palace Classic and a final-table finish in the 2006 WSOP $50,000 HORSE event here in Vegas, Singer is one of the most consistent performers on the poker scene.
If proof were ever needed of his consistency, one need only look at yesterday's display where, after finishing 353rd in the $1,500 No-Limit Hold'Em event, he raced over to the $1,500 Pot-Limit Hold'Em to make the money in that one, too, thus achieving the incredible feat of cashing in two events in just one day. I think the statisticians may be working in overdrive to check the history books, but that may well be the first time that has occurred since they moved the Series to the Rio.

Harry Thomas Jr is our latest casualty. Down to just 8,000, he raised all in with from the cutoff and was called by Justin Young in the big blind holding .
No help for Thomas from the board, and he's out of here.

he couldn't mcavoid a jack
Tom McEvoy is now officially out after surviving most of the day with a relatively small stack, rarely threatening the chip leaders but simultaneously hanging in as if his life depended on it. However, his swan song did eventually come, and when it did, he actually had the best of it, his A-K against A-J getting desperately unlucky when a second jack hit the flop.

Zachary King is the king of Brian Miller after eliminating him from today's tournament. Chips flew in, yep, you guessed it, preflop, with King's pocket nines surviving a 2-4-Q-T-4 rainbow board against Miller's A-J. Coinfliptastic!
