The board read {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {2-Spades} on the turn between Brock Parker and Geoff Bouvier. Bouvier check-raised his opponent, and Parker called.

The river brought the {10-Diamonds} and Bouvier led with a bet. Parker made the call. Bouvier tabled {A-Hearts} {A-Spades} {5-Spades} {2-Clubs} to scoop the entire pot and move to 63,000. Parker dropped to 35,000.

Go Go Toto

Preflop, Fabrice Soulier opened the action with a raise. Only Toto Leonidas called out of the big blind. One player that folded accidentally exposed his hand of {K-?} {Q-?} {4-?} {3-?}.

The flop came down {K-Clubs} {3-Spades} {2-Clubs} and Leonidas check-raised Soulier, who called the raise.

The turn brought the {J-Diamonds} and Leonidas led out with a bet. Before making the call, Soulier jokingly asked how many kings were left in the deck.

The river brought the {6-Clubs} and Toto bet. Soulier called. Toto showed {A-Spades} {8-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} for the best hand with an flush for the high and an ace-five low. He now has 47,000 chips with Fabrice dropping to 34,000.

Lights Out

Yesterday, there was an issue with a couple of the tables on the tournament floor. One table had a massive drink spill from one of the players that caused everyone seated to pick up their chips and relocate across the room. Another table's overhead light went out in the middle of the tournament causing the players to be seated in the dark. Those players were moved as well.

Just now, Annie Duke yelled, "Floor! We're in the dark." The floor came to the table and saw that this table's light went out as well. The staff acted promptly and grabbed a bunch of racks to move the players to another table in the room that has the proper lighting.

Two for Toto

Toto Leonidas
Toto Leonidas
On a board of {10-Spades} {9-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {3-Hearts}, Toto Leonidas bet enough to put Andy Bloch all in. Bloch only had 2,200 remaining at the time Toto made the bet. Bloch made the call. There was one other player all in during the hand who had moved in on a previous street of action.

As the players were turning their hands over, the dealer quickly dealt the river the {Q-Hearts}. Toto revealed {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {3-Spades} {2-Diamonds} for a full house, threes full of queens. Neither Bloch nor the other all-in player could best Toto's hand. Both player's were eliminated with Toto moving up to 75,000 chips.

Chad Brown was also eliminated recently.
