What a tough exit for David Fox! After Manny Minaya opened with a raise that was called by Bobby Firestone, Fox moved all in from the big blind for 190,000. That was enough to fold Minaya, but Firestone called with {J-Diamonds}

. His knaves found a companion on a flop of {2-Clubs}

, which was fortunate for Firestone because Fox tabled {A-Diamonds}

. No love for Fox on the turn or river; he's out.

Firestone crested the half-million mark with that pot.

David Baked by Carman

Carmen Cavella raised from the high-jack before David Baker shipped the lot in from the next seat. Cavella called creating a really big pot. It was {J-Hearts}

for Cavella and {3-?}

for Baker.

The board ran {2-?}

to stop Baker's rise but Cavella is full of yeast at 528,500.

A Ripple of Luck Can Turn into a Wave of Fortune

On the bubble yesterday Bryce Yockey was all in for his tournament life with two callers. He held ace-king on a queen high board and unfortunately for him an opponent held ace-queen. He stood up to contemplate his seemingly doomed fate, that was until a magical king fell on the river to triple him up and see him through in to the money.

Fast forward a day and Yockey has just eliminated Jason Melnick to see his stack grow to 515,000. Where will a small bit of luck end up taking Yockey.

Big Pot, No Whammies.... Stop!

It's a whammy for Allan Brown. He opened with a preflop raise that was reraised by Carman Cavella. Brown responded by pushing all in for 240,000 total, a bet which Cavella instantly called.

Cavella: {10-Hearts}
