and about 14,000 already in the pot, John Duthie fired out a bet of 5,400. His opponent was Joe Serock who called.Duthie tabled
-X-X for a full house, but Serock surprisingly tabled 
for quads!Serock didn't have the nuts and Duthie was a little puzzled, but rather relieved, that Serock didn't raise the river. Duthie was left with 1,100 to work with as Serock progresses to 57,000 chips.
, David Benyamine checked and Bruno Fitoussi bet 800. A player behind raised to 2,700. Benyamine made the call and so did Fitoussi. The turn was the

One late-comer is Billy "The Croc" Argyros, who is already talking up a storm in regards to the "Durrrr Challenge" as he's been seated right next to Tom Dwan, and only one table away from Patrik Antonius, who now has chips in front of him and is in the middle of the action.
Meanwhile, we've had a Gus Hansen sighting. Apparently, he was wandering the hall, we optimistically presume on his way to a table somewhere in the Brasilia Room. We'll be scouring the tables to try and confirm his entry into today's event.
.Rios led with a 4,000 chip bet before Smith moved all in for about 10,000. Rios made the call.

Smith:
Rios led with his aces, but the turn was the
