Le called and showed down

. The board would keep him from going broke though, running out 
. With two pair on the board, the pot is chopped in half, and no chips change hands.Le certainly could have used the boost to his stack. With 35,000, he's just a bit below average. Le has another set of chips to tend to across the hall, as he also owns a spot in Day 2 of the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha World Championship. He's a bit above average over there with 94,000, so we expect that he might nurse his stack over here at least until the bubble bursts.
Speaking of the bubble, we're just four spots from the money right now.
. Parise was the small blind and checked to his opponent, who bet 5,000. Parise then check-raise all in, putting his opponent deep into the tank. Parise had his opponent covered, so calling on the bubble could be disastrous. In the end he did decide to call with
, top pair. Parise turned over 
for bottom pair. The 
that hit the turn made the hand a lock for Parise's opponent, and good thing -- the hit the river!Once the stacks were counted down, Parise's opponent doubled to about 55,000 while Parise was left with 6,000.
flop. When Sanchez led out for 7,000 on the 
turn, Barbieri waved the white flag and pitched his cards into the muck.
. When the turn paired deuces, , Mavro checked again and then folded to a bet of 10,500 from Newhouse.A few tables over, Hinkle took down a small pot preflop, but it was the table talk that caught our attention. Hinkle started the day with 85,800 chips. Sitting with the button, he reraised Samuel Woo preflop from 3,000 to 8,000. Once action folded around, Woo asked for a count.
"After I lost the last two pots, about 55,000," said Hinkle. He won that pot, but even with 60,000, has last more than a quarter of his stack in the first thirty minutes.
The flop came
with the two live players check-checking it. The turn card brought the and a bet of 2,000 from Brummelhuis. Correa got the message and ducked out.Correa tabled
for top pair, and Worster was reluctant to show down his hand. When he finally did, it revealed 
, looking for a diamond to stay afloat. The dealer obliged him, spiking the down on fifth street and sending a timely triple up over to the short stack.Worster has been the best dressed man in the room for two days, sporting a suit and tie for the duration of play. Now he can sit at least a bit more comfortably as he's increased his stack nearly fourfold. He's up to 13,800 now.

Battaglia cheered when he saw the dealer put out an
flop, not realizing that Matros had also paired his kicker. He stood up as the turn and river came 
and 
to bounce him from the tournament."I didn't see your ten," Battaglia said by way of explanation to a puzzled Matros. He shook a few hands and left the Brasilia Room.
Matros now has 73,000.
