On a turned board showing 
, we caught up to the action as Tom Dwan flicked out a bet. His lone opponent raised, and "durrrr" called to see the last card.
It was the 
, and it brought some action. His opponent bet out, Dwan raised, and his opponent three-bet right back at him. Dwan made the smooth call, and his opponent turned up a fairly weak 
. Dwan's 
was good for a straight and the pot, and he's moved his stack up to 14,000.
Bill Chen called an UTG raise from the big blind, and the two players saw a 
flop.
Chen check-called the UTG bet, and the two checked through the 
turn card. The river was the and both players checked once again. Chen flipped up the 
, which was good against his opponent's 
.
Chen is close to his starting stack, with 7,100.

Eli Elezra three-bet an opening raise before the flop, and his opponent called to go heads up with him the rest of the way.
Elezra bet blind as the flop came 
. His opponent called, and he called another bet on the 
turn. The 
on fifth street drew checks from both players, and Elezra said simply, "King." There was no king on board, so his opponent's 
was good enough to drag the pot.
Elezra is left with just 1,400 here in the early going.
We only caught the action on the river after a series of betting, raising and re-raising between Barry Shulman and MIke Leah. When the dust settled, Shulman's 
was no good against Leah's 
with the only three cards that matter on the board being .
Shulman slips to 3,300 while Leah climbs back to about 4,600.
We picked up the action in this heads-up pot just as the dealer was flopping 
out on board. Terrence Chan checked and called a bet before the landed on fourth street. When the unknown player fired again, Chan raised, and his opponent called the extra bet.
The last card off was the 
, and Chan's river bet was quickly called.
He turned up 
for two pair, pipping his opponent's 
. Aces up gives Chan the pot and a chip boost to 8,100.
We just caught the tail end of this pot as the board read 
. Both Dwyte Pilgrim and Isaac Haxton had put in three bets apiece on the turn, and we picked up the action live on the last card.
Pilgrim fired out a final bet, and Haxton made a reluctant call. He was right to be reluctant; Pilgrim flipped up for the backdoor full house, and that was apparently easily good enough to win the pot.
Pilgrim - 10,100
Haxton - 5,900
We joined a pot involving Mr. Smith on a flop of 
. Smith put out a bet, and his opponent check-raised. Smith called.
Fourth street came the , and Mr. Opponent led out with a big bet. Smith raised, and his opponent called.
Fifth street was the , and Mr. Opponent check-called one last bet from Smith. Gavin showed up for the straight, and that pot moves him back up to 6,000 after a sluggish start.
Gavin Smith to a random player at his table: "I just come here once or twice a year to punish myself..."
We joined a flop of 
to see a heads-up pot unfold between Daniel Makowsky and Shannon Shorr. Makowsky check-called a bet there, and he did likewise on the turn and the 
river.
Shorr turned up the winner with 
, and Makowsky could not beat his flush. That moves him down to 6,000, sliding Shorr back up to 7,700.
