Bueno's Turn
After dropping a hand to Doyle Brunson, Patrick Bueno got those chips back (and more) against Joseph Michael. With the board reading
, Michael led out with a bet and Bueno raised. Michael made the call and watched as Bueno showed 
for the full house. Michael walked away from the table after that hand, one that left him with 400,000 in chips.
Doyle Doubles
It looked like Doyle Brunson might be heading to the rail when he bet the last of his chips holding
and found he was dominated by Patrick Bueno's 
. But Doyle paired up on the 
flop and when the 
fell on the turn and river Brunson doubled up to 150,000, which drew a cheer from the crowd pressed against the rail.

Mike Wattel Busts on the Bubble
Barry Greenstein raised to 20,000 and Mike Wattel committed his last 12,000 chips. He had
to Greenstein's , but Greenstein caught the 
in succession to make a flush. Wattel didn't even bother looking at the card he got on seventh street--he just got up from his seat as the other players gathered around to see that they'd all made the money.
DeMichele Not Easily Bullied
It looks like Ralph Perry is trying to bully his table with his big stack as we sit on the bubble, but Michael DeMichele wasn't having any of that.
With the board reading
, DeMichele faced a river bet from Perry, and after a lengthy stint in the tank, made the call with only 
unimproved. Perry flashed an ace and mucked, DeMichele dragging the pot.
Hand For Hand
This is one of the largest bubbles you'll ever witness in a poker tournament. 17th place goes home empty-handed while 16th place earns $124,320.
Farzard Bonyadi Eliminated in 18th Place

)Lyle Berman (

(
) Farzad Bonyadi bet seventh street in the dark. Lyle Berman, not realizing that Bonyadi had only 10,000 behind, just flat-called with his 8-7-4 low, besting Bonyadi's 8-7-6.
On the next hand, Bonyadi was all in for his last 10,000 on third street vs. Phil Ivey. Ivey made a 7-6 low, Bonyadi made an 8-7, and hit the rail in 18th place.
Ralph Perry Continues to Roll
Michael DeMichele (X-X)
(X)Ralph Perry (X-X)
(X)Patrick Bueno (X-X)
Scotty Nguyen (X-X)
Patrick Bueno completed on third street and was called by Scotty Nguyen, Michael DeMichele, and Ralph Perry. Perry had the high board on fourth and led out, Bueno called, Nguyen folded and DeMichele called. On fifth he led again, Bueno got out of the way, and DeMichele called. Both players checked on sixth and seventh streets.
Perry turned up
-- a pair of kings for high and no low. DeMichele mucked, having missed his low draw and Perry scooped the pot, increasing his stack to 1,700,000. DeMichele is down to 960,000. Only a few hands later, Perry scooped another stud-8 pot with trip sevens and a seven-low. He's now closing in on 2 million in chips.
Raymond Davis Ruling Razz
After taking a pot from Doyle Brunson Raymond Davis just did the same with Erick Lindgren. With his board showing
to Lindgren's 
, Davis bet out after the last cards were dealt and Lindgren raised. Davis made the call and when he showed 
for a Lindgren mucked his cards. Davis is now up to 1.35 million and Lindgren is down to 260,000.
