As we've played through the night, some of our most aggressive players have been eliminated. Recently, Alex Jacob has decided to pick up the pace a little bit and switch gears. Jacob didn't play many hands up all day until this last break, and he just seemed to pick his spots every now and then. Now, Jacob is raising a healthy amount of the hands he is dealt and chipping up nicely.
Edward Ochana has been doing the same on his table, except he seems to be picking off his opponents' raises with reraises. Tom Lutz has been doing the same, but things just don't seem to be going his way. Jacob and Ochana have increased their stacks by switching gears, whereas Lutz seems to be dropping pots and getting unlucky whenever he puts his money in.
Tom Lutz has hit a rough patch here. Jason Gray just doubled through against Lutz with A-Q vs. Lutz's J-J when Gray turned a queen. Gray has 540,000, and Lutz has tumbled to 260,000.
Richard Lyndaker raised to 32,000 from under the gun. The table folded around to Tom Lutz who called from the small blind.
The flop came . Lyndaker made a motion as if to check, even though it wasn't his turn. Lutz bet 40,000, and Lyndaker called.
The turn was the . Lyndaker again appeared to check. "You don't have to check," he was told. "Oh!" he replied, and the table chuckled. It has been a long day (and night).

The river was the . Lutz bet 140,000, and Lyndaker raised all in. Lutz folded.
From just before the break: Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier raised to 27,000 on the button. Richard Lyndaker called out of the small blind. Jason Gray also called from the big blind.
The flop came and Lyndaker checked, as did Gray. Grospellier bet 42,000 and Lyndaker called. Gray folded.
The turn was the and Lyndaker called again. Grospellier bet 50,000 and Lyndaker called.
The river was the and Lyndaker checked again. Grospellier moved all in for 100,000 and Lyndaker exhaled and then called.
