"Are there many tables like this?" inquired Jan Sjavik with a rye smile. It was, of course, his Norweigan sarcasm in full flow, as Table 320 has witnessed more action than a Steven Seagal filmography.
When I joined, Dutch Boyd was in the process of capping the action in a hand which saw no less than three players match the bet, one of whom, Paul Sokoloff, was all in. The next two shortest stacks, Dutch Boyd and Regis Burlot were also all in by sixth street.
Boyd: 






Burlot: 






As seventh street was dealt and players began to slide their cards around the felt, I was only able to note the finishing hands of Boyd and Burlot, but Cantu was visibly upset: "Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable. That's unbelievable. [He seemed to like the word 'unbelievable'.] That's the worst beat I've ever seen."
But in the end, it was Burlot who took the side pot and half the main with a boat, whilst Boyd took the rest with a low to the eight. Cantu, meanwhile, remained out-raged, and continued to vent to himself.
Cantu - 40,000
Burlot - 29,000
Boyd - 26,000
"You were in bad shape, my friend," said Boyd to Burlot whilst wiping his brow.
As the new dealer came in, he greeted, "What's up?" The table laughed as Sjavik replied, "Oh no, not much happening here."

Trying to stop Dale Phillips would be like trying to halt a herd of elephants with a pea-shooter. Phillips has now become the first player to exceed that magic 100,000 mark after eliminating short stack Chris Bell.
Chris Bell: 

/



Dale Phillips: 

/



Steve Hohn: {mucked}/



Bell was all in by sixth street, but it mattered little, as Phillips took the pot on seventh with a king high flush.
Two short stacks just chopped one up, Lonnie Heimowitz all in on fifth street:
Andrew Ung: 

/



Lonnie Heimowitz: 

/



Both players are still short, however:
Heimowitz - 6,000
Ung - 14,000
Kevin MacPhee is up to 45,000 after scooping a three-way pot, knocking out Mike Krescanko in the process.
MacPhee's cards were 





. Both his opponents mucked.
The Hard Rock is Team PokerNews' home, why not make it yours. And while you're staying there (or if you're in the neighborhood) stop by the poker room Wednesday night and play in the PokerNews half-kill game. The $4/$8 half-kill game starts Wednesday at 8 p.m. We've had some of the DeucesCracked guys stop by as well as Annette Obrestad, so you never know will stop by. See you there!
"Floor!"
Thus came the cry from Phil Ivey (37,000). We rushed over to see what controversy he could have gotten himself into - but all he wanted was to know the basketball score.
