Kenneth Smaron Eliminated

Kenneth Smaron is OUT. A player raised to 10,800 UTG and Smaron reraised to 37,500 on his immediate left. Kevin Song went over the top for 90,000 from the cutoff, enough to cover Smaron, who called all in.

Smaron: {J-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}
Song: {K-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}

No help from the board, and Smaron is no more.

Fischer Doubles Up

Seth Fischer moved all in from the cutoff for 65,000 and Paul Smith called, albeit after dipping into the think tank.

Fischer = {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Smith = {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}

Board = {8-Spades}{3-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

"Nice hand," congratulated Paul.

"I thought I had enough for a fold there," replied Fischer.

Fischer -- 155,000
Smith -- 62,000

Jason Mercier Eliminated

Scotty Nguyen doubled up off Jason Mercier with {7-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} against Mercier's {A-Clubs} {10-?} on a {7-Spades} {2-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {9-Clubs} board, leaving them both with exactly 160,000.

Then the next hand, Scotty Nguyen raised to 11,000 from the button only for Jason Mercier to go all in for his 160,000 from the small blind. Nguyen, also of course in possession of a total 160,000 at the start of the hand, called.

Mercier: {7-Diamonds} {7-Hearts}
Nguyen: {10-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}

Board: {5-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {6-Diamonds}

"I can't be pushed around, baby," said Nguyen as Mercier took his leave and Nguyen raked in the 320,000.

Shahar Regains Chip Lead;Hoffman Eliminated

After momentarily losing his post as leader of the pack, Alon Shahar has regained his spot at the top after winning a monster pot against Kyle Hoffman.

They say you have to win your fair share of conflips in this game, and they're not wrong, Shahar delighted to see his {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} hold up against Hoffman's {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} on an ensuing {8-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{9-Hearts} board.

Shahar is now on 580,000, around 100,000 ahead of his nearest rival.
