Aces Cracked
Anyone who has put in any time at all at the poker table knows that aces don't always hold. It was a painful reminder for a player at table 19 who called an all in on a flop of 
and triumphantly turned over his 
, putting himself way ahead of his opponent's 
. But his tournament day came to an end when the 
came on the turn followed by the 
. And they say it's an easy game...
Daneshgar Doubles
David Daneshgar was down to just 825 chips when he moved all in preflop and got one taker.
Daneshgar: 
Opponent: 
It was a classic race, and Daneshgar pulled ahead when the flop came 
. His opponent got no love from the 
on the turn, nor the 
river.
Daneshgar now finds himself with 1,800 on chips and a new lease on his tournament life.
Maria Ho Wins Some, Loses More
Maria Ho has been very active at her table.
In the first of two hands we just caught, she raised to 150 from the cutoff. She was called only by the big blind and the two saw a flop of 
. Both players checked to the turn.
The turn came 
and Ho led out with a bet of 150, getting a call from her opponent. When the big blind bet 650 after the 
came on the river, Ho looked perplexed and thought for a while before making the call. She mucked when she saw her opponent's 
.
On the very next hand she won a few of those chips back, raising to 150 from the hijack, getting a call from the big blind. She fired 200 into a flop of 
, which was good enough to take it down.
Break Time
Players are now on a twenty-minute break.

The Deadliest Table of Death
If you've ever wanted a reason not to late register, look no further than Table 109. The table is composed of people who just signed up. It's no exaggeration when we say that it's by far the most stacked starting table we've seen in any $1,000 event.
Seat 2:Tommy Vedes
Seat 3: Dan Heimiller
Seat 5: Tom Dwan
Seat 6: Phil Ivey
Seat 8: Andy Black
Seat 9. Chris Ferguson
Squeezed in between Dwan and Ivey is an older woman with grey hair, Theresa Gex. Not the most comfortable place to be, but we'll see if she can prove doubters wrong.
Note: In the first hand we caught at the table, Chris Ferguson busted Dan Heimiller.
"It Was Fun While It Lasted"
Phil Ivey only lasted one hand at our mega table of death.
The aforementioned older woman, Theresa Gex, opened from under the gun and Ivey just grabbed his whole stack and stuck it in the middle. Chris "Jesus" Ferguson flatted and the action folded back to the kind woman who snapped it off.
Ivey tabled and Ferguson let out a laugh when he opened .
"You got me Phil," he joked.
Gex got them all though when she triumphantly turned over 
. The rail around the table was four people deep and they all exploded into uncontrollable laughter.
The board ran 
and Mr. Ivey hit the rail.
"Well," Ivey said with a huge grin. "It was fun while it lasted."
Ivey's out, Ferguson is down to 2,000 and the sweet old woman has tripled to 9,000.
