The flop came
. Rodman checked, Kopp bet 225,000, Schneider called, and Rodman folded. The turn was the 
. Kopp bet 375,000 this time, and Schneider called.The river brought the
. Kopp bet 980,000, and Schneider tanked for a few minutes before finally making the call. Kopp turned over 
for the Broadway straight, and Schneider mucked.Kopp moves up to 14.34 million after that one, while Schneider slips to 1.96 million.
Action proceeded past Phillips with folds all the way to Jeff Duvall, who raised his button to 150,000. That raise folded both blinds. Duvall, not realizing that Phillips had limped into the pot, then mucked his hand with action still pending on Phillips.
Phillips couldn't believe his bad luck. Why bad luck, you ask? Only because he had been dealt
! He opened his hand and insisted that he be awarded the whole pot, including the 150,000 raise made by Duvall.The tournament had to be put on a five-minute pause to summon tournament director Jack Effel (who was out of the room) so that Effel could make a decision whether Duvall should have to forfeit all 150,000 chips or only the 50,000 that matched Phillips' original call. After Effel arrived and listened to a report of the action, he told Duvall that, by TDA Rules, if a dealer had killed Duvall's inadvertently, Duvall would be entitled to 100,000 chips back. But because Duvall had mucked his own hand, he had to forfeit all the chips in the pot if Phillips wanted to call. Phillips obviously did.
The flop came down
. Buchman checked and Brice fired 210,000. Lichtenberger folded and then Buchman raised to 1.21 million. Brice released his hand and Buchman took the pot.
The flop came down
. Vedes checked, Mattes made a 285,000 continuation bet, and Bach came over the top for 570,000. Vedes folded and after a bit of a think, Mattes mucked as well. Bach is back up to 2,050,000 while Mattes slipped to 1.6 million.
.When Lamb called that bet and the turn put three diamonds and a pair on board with the
, Maimone checked. Lamb bet 500,000, then folded to Maimone's minimum-raise to 1 million. Maimone disappointedly flashed 
in the hole for quad fours.
When Schneider's big blind did come, Marc Etienne McLaughlin had raised from middle position to 120,000 and Kevin Schaffel had called from the button. Schneider called, too, and the flop came
. All checked. The turn was the . Schneider and McLaughlin checked, Schaffel bet 300,000, Schneider called, and McLaughlin folded.The river was the
, and both players checked. Schneider showed 
, but was outkicked by Schaffel's ."Glad I made it back for my big blind," said Schneider with a wry grin.
Schneider slips to 1.47 million, while Schaffel moves up to 4.9 million.
Lacay led out for 275,000 on the
flop. Mattes made the call. The turn came the 
and Lacay slowed down and checked. Mattes came in with a 350,000 bet and Lacay gave it up. After the hand, Mattes was up to 2.2 million while Lacay dipped to 6.6 million.

and again it was checked to Kopp. He bet 525,000, Elias called and Nargentino folded. Kopp showed
for the straight. "Nice hand, bully... we're going to be saying that a lot today" quipped Nargentino as Kopp stacked up the pot.
