The river brought the . Akenhead's opponent bet 30,000 this time, and Akenhead thought for a while before making the call. His opponent showed , and Akenhead mucked.
Losing that small one doesn't bother Akenhead too much as he is still way up there with 665,000.
Hevad Khan raised to 6,000 from early position, and Kyriacos "Greek Jack" Dionysiou, sitting to his left, reraised to 15,000. The table folded back around to Khan who quickly called.
The flop came . Khan checked, and Dionysiou didn't waste much time firing 35,000. Khan immediately announced he was all in. Dionysiou thought about twenty seconds, then made the call with his remaining chips.
Khan showed for sixes and the flush draw, while Dionysiou turned over for the better flush draw. The turn was the , and Khan was still ahead. But the river brought the , and Dionysiou survives, having won a nice pot.
Khan slips to 195,000, while Dionysiou is up to 175,000.
John Juanda goes bust. The masseuses weep.
Action folded to John Juanda who pushed all in from the cutoff for 19,000. The small blind called and we saw the hands.
Juanda:
Opponent:
The board missed Juanda completely, falling and his Main Event run came to an abrupt halt.
Why so sad?
With almost 200,000 in the pot by the river of the board, Joe Sebok went all in for his last 29,000. His opponent called, but couldn't beat Sebok's rivered full house with .
With that, Sebok doubled to an above-average 255,000.
Eugene Todd - Out
After an under the gun open-limp, Eugene Todd (Bro) raised it to 13,200 from the small blind. It folded back to the limper, who made the call.
The flop came . Eugene led out with an all-in bet for around 28,000 and the limper insta-snap-called. Todd knew he was in trouble as he tabled his . His opponent showed leaving Todd drawing slim to stay alive.
The turn was a and the river was the and Eugene Todd's main event is over.
No sooner had Ludovic Lacay been declared chip leader than he won another enormous pot.
We caught up with it on the river of the board, when Lacay bet 85,000. His opponent gave it some thought, before very tentatively making the call -- but then mucking when Lacay turned over for a monster of a full house.
With his nearest rival in this tournament on not much more than 600,000, Lacay is now the proud possessor of a frankly obscene 902,000 stack.

Hellmuth then wanted an exact count and the dealer took over.
"142,000." said the dealer.
"Okay, I'm all in." announced Hellmuth.

Hellmuth tabled pocket kings, , and his opponent showed . The set-over-set cooler had Hellmuth looking to move upwards of 600,000 if he could dodge the one out his opponent had. The river was the and Hellmuth's opponent got up and exited the tournament.
