Vinsant Up

Jeremiah Vinsant is on around 80,000 after knocking out an unknown player on the big blind. With Vinsant holding {A-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} and the big blind holding {J-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}, the chips went in on the {7-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} flop, the both of them on a flush draw.

Turn: {4-Spades}

River: {8-Spades} -- at which the big blind exclaimed, "YES!" before realizing that it made Vinsant the straight.

Paul Foltyn Hanging In

Paul Foltyn called a button raise from the big blind and checked the {K-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop, his opponent checked behind.

On the {9-Clubs} turn, Foltyn took the pot with a bet of 3,500 and is now up to 29,000, although still below the 51,111 average.

No Chip & No Chair

Bill Chen
Bill Chen
Bill Chen is now on around 80,000 after "stacking his opponent to the dollar," as our field reporter so beautifully put it.

With both players sitting on stacks of 37,000, all the chips sped in on a 10-5-8-10 board with Chen's A-10 having got the better of his opponent's pocket ladies.

A four on the river changed nothing and Chen's foe was gone.
