Robert Williamson III is on 13,500 deathwatch after raising to 1,650 from the cutoff and getting called by the gent on the button. He bet out 2,300 on the flop -- but Mr. Button raised to 70,000 and Williamson folded.
Michael Mizrachi
Over on the secondary feature table, Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi has been eliminated.
He had been below average stack-wise all day, and just now got it all in with a straight flush draw against an opponent who had king-jack on a king-high flop. The turn and river didn't help Mizrachi, and he hit the rail.
Mizrachi's spot at the table has been taken by Paul "X-22" Magriel, who currently has 24,000. We imagine he is fully aware that represents an "M" of just over 15.

Lakers player, Jordan Farmar (Day 1d)
Los Angeles Lakes player Jordan Farmar called a raise to 3,100 and then the big blind called as well. The flop came down . The big blind bet out 2,800, the preflop raiser folded, and Farmar called.
The turn paired the board with the and the big blind fired 6,400. Farmar called again.
The river was the and the big blind bet out once more, making it 15,000 this time. Farmar tanked and then made the call.
The big blind showed pocket sevens and announced two pair. Farmar mucked his hand. "Nice hand." he said. "No worries, it's all good."
One of Australia's most successful online players, Jonathan "xMONSTERxDONGx" Karamalikis has been starting to get active here but struggling to build his chip stack on Day 2b.
With a limper in front of him, Karamalikis raised it up to 2,500 from the cutoff, before the button raised it to 6,000. The limper folded and Karamalikis made the call.
The flop landed . Karamalikis checked and his opponent moved all in for around 18,000 with Karamalikis insta-folding.
A few hands later Karamalikis opened the action with a raise to 1,500 from under the gun. A middle position player made it 4,200 and when play folded back to Karamalikis he made it 15,000 to go. His opponent moved all in and Karamalikis quickly called for most of his chips.
Karamalikis tabled but his opponent revealed for the same hand and they chopped it up on a board of .
Joining the action on the turn of a board, David Daneshgar raised a 2,300 bet to 5,000 before betting a further 15,000 on the river after his opponent had checked.
Daneshgar was called and flipped , having pipped his opponent's on the end.
Tom "Durrrr" Dwan has been a raising machine as of late, opening multiple pots in a row. He seems to take down the pot every time he makes a continuation bet, and although currently only at 22,000, he has added nicely to his stack over the past few orbits.
Persaud good they named him Nik
There was one limper before Nik Persaud raised. The gent on the button called, as did the limper, and they saw a flop. The limper checked, and Persaud fiddled around with his chips for a while before betting 4,400. Mr. Button called, Mr. Limper passed, and they were heads up to the turn.
Persaud now checked to his opponent, who bet 5,500. A pause from Persaud, a call, and they proceeded to the river. Two checks, and Mr. Button turned over an unexpected for a flush; Persaud looked sadly down at his pocket before throwing them, rather violently, back at the dealer.
Andy "Little Big Chip" Fields -- that's his name (really) -- cuts a striking figure here in the Amazon Room with his full Indian headdress. Fields was just now involved in a fairly wild hand in which the flop had come , Fields pushed all in, an opponent went all in behind him, then a third player folded jack-five face up.
Fields' opponent had for two pair, but Fields had for trips. (Again, really.)
The turn was the and the river the , and Little Big Chip now has 82,000.
