Lucky Landy

A short stacked Peter Traply moved all in with pocket twos versus Scott Desveaux's pocket eights. Desveaux thought he'd done enough to get through to tomorrow but a two fell on the turn to keep this tie alive.

Traply Takes Control

It can be a funny game this poker. On the verge of going out Landy now has a two to one chip advantage over Scott Desveaux.

Another all in preflop confrontation saw Peter Traply's {10-Clubs} {10-Spades} face-up to Desveaux's {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}.

The board came {2-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {8-Hearts} to see the tens hold.

Winner on Table 23

Jeff Frerichs just busted Derek Williams to win his table. After a long battle it took two big hands matching up to end it.

Frerichs' held {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} to Williams' {A-Spades} {K-Spades} on a {5-Spades} {3-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} board.

Winner on Table 20

Peter Traply's comeback is complete as he has just busted Scott Desveaux. It was all in preflop with Traply's {A-Spades} {K-Clubs} facing up against Desveaux's {A-Hearts} {4-Clubs}.

The board ran {5-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {5-Spades} {Q-Hearts}.

We're down to four players spread over two tables now.

Channing Chipping Up

Neil Channing is slowly grinding away at Michael Hauptman, currently taking his once huge disadvantage to a near equal equation.

Not too many huge hands have been shown down, but rather Channing has been talking his way up the chip leaderboard taking down pot after pot after pot.
