The Hand That Wasn't
We're back from the dinner break. Sometimes it takes a player a hand or two to get back into the mindset of the game. Sometimes it takes dealers a hand to settle back into the game, too.
On the first hand back over at George Danzer and Tom Dwan's table, the dealer had made the usual circuit around the table five times. Then, having lost track, he continued to deal a sixth round. After a couple of cards had been dealt on the extra round, the players alerted the dealer to his mistake, and a misdeal was declared.
Interestingly, Dwan in the small blind showed that with his first five cards he'd been dealt a pat 10. Meanwhile, Danzer (on the button) showed he had been dealt a pat 9.
Bloch Outdraws Musso
Vincent Musso opened to 6,000 and Andy Bloch made the call.
Musso stood pat and checked, while Bloch drew one and fired out 11,000.
Musso made the call tabling his 
, but it would be Bloch's 
that would take the pot down and see his stack climb to 145,000 in chips.
Wattel Wiped Out
Mike Wattel pushed all in for about 15,000 from under the gun, Eric Kesselman called from the button, and Sirous Jamshidi called as well from the big blind, committing his last 13,600 as he did.
Jamshidi and Wattel each drew one card, while Kesselman stood pat. Cards on their backs:
Jamshidi
Wattel 
Kesselman
The drawn king meant Wattel's day was done. Jamshidi survives with 48,000. And Kesselman now sits with 155,000.
Dwan Crippled Then Doubles
John Monnette opened to 5,400 from the cutoff only to have Tom Dwan three-bet all in.
Monnette made the call for his 49,700 total and drew one to his .
Dwan stood pat with his , but unfortunately would see Monnette catch the to stay alive and double to 105,000 as Dwan was left crippled with just 11,000.
The following hand however, Dwan moved all in from the small blind and Peter Gould made the call.
Dwan stood pat with his 
while Gould drew one catching the to pair his .
Gould slips to 75,000 while Dwan climbs back to 28,000 in chips.
Booth Bumps Bonyadi
Farzad Bonyadi -- one of the many decorated players in this event with three WSOP bracelets (including one in Deuce-to-Seven Triple Draw) -- has just been eliminated.
In his final hand, Bonyadi pushed all in from UTG for his last 16,900 and got called by Doug Booth on the button. Bonyadi chose to give back one of his cards, and Booth chose to stick with the five he'd been dealt.
Booth showed . Bonyadi tabled his original cards -- -- and hoped to see something good when he looked at his new fifth one. Alas, it was the , and Bonyadi hits the rail.
Booth now has 115,000.
Weitzman Falls To Chidwick
Mark Weitzman found himself all in drawing one with his against Stephen Chidwick's pat .
Weitzman unfortunately found a to make his way to the rail as Chidwick climbs to 266,000 in chips.
