Milad Jorshari and Dorlan Schick got it all in once again. But this time it was preflop, and Jorshari was the one at risk.
Jorshari moved all in from the cutoff for 51,000 and Schick called. Instantly. Jorshari sighed, leaned back on his chair and said, "I hope I can suck out. An instant call is never good."

Jorshari's wish was granted in the form of a river card and he doubles up to 115,000. Shick still has a sizable stack of 230,000.
David Diaz was chipping up something fierce early in the day. But since then he hasn't been able to continue the accumulation process. He tried to take out a short-stacked Jesse Martin, who moved all in for about 70,000. Diaz called with 
but was dominated by Martin's 
. A paired flop, 
, didn't improve either player but wasn't the best flop for Martin. It raised the specter of a chopped pot. The turn bricked 
and Martin caught an unnecessary queen on the river to double up.
Diaz is down to about 195,000.
It's improbable that Dorlan Schick would lose with ace-queen every time he's dealt it. A few hands after his encounter with Milad Jorshari, Schick was dealt 
. He raised to 11,500 and was called by button player JP Kelly. Schick continued on a flop of 
, with Kelly once again called. The rest of the money went in on the turn, with Kelly only able to muster up 
. The river blanked to send Kelly off in search of the cage.
Chris Viox and Conrad Monica go all in preflop. Monica has Viox covered, but Viox has the better hand. He shows 
, a large favorite over Monica's .
The board didn't change this and Viox doubled up to 95,000. Monica is now sitting behind a 190,000 stack.
To be honest, it's almost always a good time for kings. It's only a bad time for kings if your opponent has aces or if someone with a naked ace spikes an ace on board. Regardless, Russell Thomas opened for 14,000. He was raised by Steven Tabb to 32,000. Thomas shoved with 
; Tabb called with 
. The river was actually a pretty good sweat for Thomas, as the board developed 
. But it came a safe . Tabb fell to 75,000 in the counts, while Thomas is now quite robusto with 260,000.
It's that time again. Out the door they go. Back in 20 minutes.
Roger Teska started the day 1st in the counts of the 146 remaining players. He's now out with six tables left in the tournament. In a hand that went five minutes into the break, Teska and Russell Thomas got it all in on a board of 
. Thomas tabled a set, 
. Teska was drawing very, very slim with but Thomas was still worried.
"Do NOT do this to me. Jesus Christ!" he said. The poker gods didn't "do it" to him. The river blanked 
. The stacks were counted down; Thomas had Teska covered.

In rapid succession Carter Phillips eliminated two of his opponents. First he got all of Stuart [Removed:293]'s chips in the middle with a dominating hand, tabling to [Removed:293]'s . Neither player improved and so [Removed:293] was retired.
The very next hand Mark Seif moved in with 
against Phillips' pocket fours. The board developed 
by the turn, giving Seif fifteen outs heading to the river. He bricked them all with the 
.
Winning those back-to-back pots increased Phillips' count to 315,000.
In this post you will see Dorlan Schick go from chip leader to 34th place finisher in two hands.
Dorlan Schick and Daniel Johnson built up a big pot preflop and got it all in on a 
flop. Johnson showed 
for a set of tens to Schick's pair of queens. A hits on the river giving Schick trip queens, but it also gives Johnson the full house.
Schick is left with 144,000 and Johnson moves up to 523,000.
Schick wouldn't hold on to his stack for much longer. A couple of hands later he moved all in and was called by Blake Slade. Slade showed 
and Schick reluctantly turned over his hand, showing . Slade had a hunch that Schick was making a move. He was right.
No card on the board helped Schick and he was eliminated in 34th place. Slade is up to 328,000.
