Jim Geary raised from early position and was re-pooped Marco Traniello, who was sitting two seats to his left. Geary made the call and the flop was delivered 
.
Geary check-raised the flop, which put him all in. Traniello made the call, and they turned up their cards.
Geary: 
Traniello: 
Geary was visibly (and obviously) dissapointed when he saw Traniello's flopped set. He couldn't catch a runner-runner miracle when the turn and river came 
.
It looks like the man with the hat, David Plastik, was the unfortunate who busted right away from table #309. Either way, Plastik has melted away into the background of the Amazon Room.
David Cairns got his last in on a 
flop with and was delighted to find he was ahead of Frank Kassela's 
. Furthermore Cairns stayed ahead down the 
turn and 
river to double to a still rather precarious 45,000.
Cairns stood with both arms raised in victory.
"It's the start to the bracelet comeback from the guy who has NO idea how to play the game," he declared. Then he sat back down, and play continued.
Frank Kassela was in the small blind and dared raise Jameson Painter, who has been winning some big hands as of late. Painter called and the two saw a flop of 
. Kassela would lead off with a bet on the flop, getting called by Painter.
Kassela did not bet the turn's

.
Painter showed

Wow, that was fast. The redraw is complete. New seat assignments and chip counts to follow.
We're down to three tables now and the clock has been paused while our remaining 27 runners play musical chairs.
Play will resume shortly.
"Holy s***," said David Cairns; we had arrived just in time to see him lose a big pot to Ahmad Abghari, who had turned over aces at the end of a jack-high board. Cairns flashed what looked to be at least one king.
"This has been the most painful experience of my life," Cairns continued. Must be nice.
Cairns dropped to 58,000. The silent Abghari rose to 210,000.
Michael Ma kicked things into gear with a raise from under the gun. When it came around to David Cairns in the hijack, he bumped it up one more time. Ma would eventually make the call, but not before saying, "Don't get there on me. Your watch is worth enough. You don't need any more money."
When the saw a flop of 
, Ma check-called a bet from Cairns. However, it would be Ma leading out with bets on the turn, which was 
and river, which was , getting calls from Cairns each time.
Despite Ma really not wanting Cairns to "get there," Cairns had no getting there to do. He was ahead the whole time, showing 
. It was Ma who had some getting there to get done, but failed to do so with his .
After the hand, Cairns was up to 186,500 and Ma was down to 18,000.
Joshua Cooper (early position} and Matthew Keikoan (big blind) capped preflop, and saw a 
flop. Keikoan bet out, and Cooper ever-so-slightly raised all in for 3,500 total. Keikoan naturally called.
Cooper: 
Keikoan:
Turn: 
River: 
Cooper thus became the latest casualty of the late-night limit carnage.
