Jean Gaspard: 
/ 
Leonard Lombardo: (XXX) / 
We caught up with the action on seventh street - Jean Gaspard bet and Leonard Lombardo folded, shaking his head. He didn't, even look like he felt better about the whole affair when Gaspard showed him down, making Gaspard a full house and vindicating the fold.
Lombardo dropped to 20,000 after that. Gaspard meanwhile recovered to around 25,000.
The 74 remaining players are now enjoying their first twenty-minute break of the day.

Scott Seiver completed with the 
before Christine Pietsch raised it up. Seiver made the call and then found himself check-calling all the way until seventh streets where both players checked it down.
Seiver: (XX) / 
/ (X)
Pietsch: (
) / 
/ (
)
Pietsch started with buried kings and didn't improve but it was enough as Seiver mucked his cards. Seiver sits at 40,000 with Pietsch moving up to 37,000.
As the threat of the bubble looms ever closer (although it's not that near yet), Dan Heimiller is our chip leader on 86,500. That's an impressive stack, particularly given that the next-biggest stack is the comparatively tiny 54,000 in the hands of Jon Turner.
Alexander Dovzhenko and Jim Geary got into a raising war on third street with Geary's last chips committed. The two board ran out:
Dovzhenko: (
) / 
/ (
)
Geary: () / 
/ ()
Dovzhenko started off with a flush draw and bricked out as Geary's aces in the hole improved to two pair for the double up. He's up to 11,400 with Dovzhenko back to 26,000.
Jon Turner: (XX) /
Sorel Mizzi: (XX) / 
Jon Turner had bumped his stack up well up over the 60,000 mark by the time Sorel Mizzi knocked him back to an only-just-above-it 61,000. We just caught the action on sixth street, to see Mizzi betting and Turner folding.
Mizzi's stack was increased to 34,000 by this little adventure, and he looked very grateful as he stacked assessed his new chips.
Joining the hordes of the busted out in the hallway: Mr. George Rechnitzer.
Cyndy Violette was all in on third street for her last chips with David Blatte making the call. The rather extraordinary boards looked like this:
Violette: () / 
/ ()
Blatte: (
) / / (
)
Violette was probably feeling confident of a double up with a pair in the hole, but remarkably Blatte made a straight-flush by fifth street (and a six-card straight-flush on the river) on a very pretty board.
Violette could only give a wry smile as she departed the Amazon Room.
