Without further ado...
Yat Cheng opened to 12,000 from middle position, and Kyle Bowker moved all in with 
. Cheng snapped with 
, and the board of 
didn't change a thing. Three pair is good for Cheng, and Bowker will get to take the rest of the night off.
Apologies for referring to Jason Young as Orson Young in an earlier post. Apparently someone is a fan of typos on our player list.
And apologies to Jason for what happened just before the break. Just a few hands after crushing Jesse Rockowitz, Young ran his pocket queens into pocket kings for a pot worth almost 300,000 chips. The kings held, and Young is right back down to 150,000.
Cousin Orson is nowhere to be found.
The clock has been paused for an extended 25-minute break, during which the black T100 chips will be raced off and colored up.
We'll be back before you know it.
William Molson just ran his pocket kings into the pocket aces of Jeff Hakim, and it did not end well for him. A board full of bricks sent him out of the tournament, and Hakim moves his way up to 231,000 courtesy of those timely aces.
Amnon Filippi has been making great reads throughout the day and just made another one moments ago.
The board read 
when Filippi bet 16,000 into about a 22,000-chip pot. His opponent called.
Both players checked the 
on the turn, but after the river brought the 
Filippi's opponent led for 22,500. Filippi took his time to think it through and eventually made the call.
His opponent rolled over 
for a pair of fives and a busted flush draw and Filippi tabled 
for a winning pair of nines.
That great call has Filippi's stack at 180,000 chips.
We joined the action on the flop as the dealer was spreading out 
. In a heads-up pot, Jesse Rockowitz led out with a two-thirds-pot bet of 10,000. In position, Jason Young made a mini-raise to 20,000, and Rockowitz quickly made the call.
The turn came the 
, and Rockowitz checked to the raiser. Young moved all in for about 65,000 total, and Rockowitz tank-called after several minutes, having his opponent covered by just one single black T100 chip. Cards up, gents:
Rockowitz: 
Young: 
Young was well out in front and in fine shape to double up, needing to fade just the two offsuit fives in order to win the pot. The river was most certainly a safe card, and that pushes Young up to a very healthy 244,000.
Rockowitz's final chip went into the pot for the next hand's ante, and he was eliminated.
Pat Anderson and Andrey Zaichenko each put about over 100,000 chips in the pot preflop, putting Anderson all in. He was in good shape though, rolling over 
to Zaichenko's 
.
He wasn't in good shape for long. The flop was a disastrous 
, giving Zaichenko the Broadway straight right out of the chute. The turn made things interesting though, as Anderson's two pair gave him three outs to the winning full house.
River:
Well, wow. In runner-runner fashion, Anderson re-imoroved to the winning boat, shooting his stack up to 227,000 after having one foot out the door just moments ago. Zaichenko is the one in trouble now; he's down to just 12,000.
After being crippled earlier, both Blair Hinkle and Betrand "ElkY" Grospellier have reported to the rail.
