[Removed:198] Clips Saar

[Removed:197] opened to 4,800 on the button and both Wilf Saar and Barney Boatman called out of the blinds.

The flop of {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} was checked round to see Saar fire 10,000 when the {4-Clubs} fell on the turn. Boatman called as did [Removed:198] and when the {8-Spades} landed on the river Saar continued his aggression with a 20,000-chip bet.

Boatman folded, but [Removed:198] bumped it up to 50,000. Saar called, but quickly mucked when he saw [Removed:198]'s {A-Spades}{K-Hearts} to put him up to over 200,000 as Saar slips to 95,000.

Yet To Arrive

With a last minute relocation to the Blue section of the Amazon room, it is no surprise to find a few people not in attendance.

Both Phil Ivey and Justin Filtz are yet to arrive, but with a 75-big blind deep stack, they have a little breathing room.

Welcome back to the Rio for the day two restart of Event 41 - $5,000 No Limit Hold'em Shootout.

30 of the original 300 players will be returning to play a single-table six-handed shootout, with the five winners advancing to the final table tomorrow.

With all players starting with the same amount in chips, it's going to be a true test of skill and patience as Phil Ivey, Jennifer Harman, Neil Channing and Barny Boatman are just a few of the names that have made it through.

Each player is already guaranteed $16,740, but all will be eyeing the top prize of $348,728 and the coveted gold bracelet.

Stay tuned to PokerNews for the 2:00pm restart as every rivered flush, turned straight and flopped flush is brought to you live from the PokerNews team!
