Daniel Thomas opened to 35,000 from the cutoff and Carla Castelo three-bet all in for just over 95,000. Thomas made the call and we were off to a showdown.
Castelo:
Thomas:
Unfortunately for Castelo the board rolled out to put Castelo on the rail.
Daniel Duong made a small raise preflop from the small blind and Kyung Han made the call from the big blind. There was about 85,000 in the pot when the flop came .
Both players checked to the on the turn. Duong checked and Han bet 40,000. Duong made the call and they saw the on the river. Once again, both players checked.
Duong sheepishly turned over for middle pair. Han hesitated, checked his cards, and then mucked. Duong is up to around 400,000 while Han is running low at 160,000.
Daniel Duong raised to 38,000 preflop only to have Daniel Carter move all in for 544,000. Much to the table's surprise, David Baker called all in for 532,000.
Duong was clearly perplexed and contemplated making the call, but opted to fold and showed his . The other two players turned over their cards:
Carter:
Baker:
When the flop came , Duong walked away from the table in disgust. He would have made three kings and been in great position to triple his stack. Instead, it was Baker who was in the lead and looking to double his stack through Carter.
The on the turn changed nothing. The table watched anxiously as the hit on the river. Baker shot up near the top of the chip counts with 1.2 million. Carter was left with a mere 12,000.
Needless to say, Carter was eliminated the very next hand.
Christopher Brammer opened to 35,000 from under the gun only to have Matthew Hankins moved all in for 241,000 from middle position.
Matthew Vance committed his last 92,000 from the button with Brammer making the call.

Brammer:
The board ran out a rather undramatic [4h} to give Vance the triple to over 345,000 while sending Hankins to the rail and Brammer to 1,240,000 in chips.
