"It's Good"

Norman Collingsworth
Norman Collingsworth

Norman Collingsworth was in middle position and raised to 5,000 and Ilya Briskin called from the button.

The two saw a flop of {Q-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and both checked. Collingsworth checked the {9-Diamonds} on the turn and Briskin bet 8,000. Collingsworth called and both players checked the {3-Spades} on the river.

Briskin showed {3-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for two pair and Collingsworth said, "It's good," before mucking. Briskin is up to 40,000 while Collingsworth takes a small drop down to 116,000.

Binger Moves All In

From the cutoff, Michael Binger raised to 8,400, about half his stack, and the player on the button called. After both blinds got out of the way, the flop came {4-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}.

Binger immediately moved all in and his opponent, who looked frustrated, threw away his cards. Binger is still short-stacked with around 27,000.

Tayar Doubles Through Reed

In one of the first hands back from the break, Stephane Tayar was all in for his tourney life following a {9-Clubs}{K-Spades}{J-Spades} flop against Matthew Reed. Tayar held {A-Spades}{J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a set of jacks, while Reed had {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{8-Spades}.

The turn was the {Q-Hearts} and the river the {K-Diamonds}. Tayar ended with jacks full of kings, and doubles to 35,000, while Reed has 55,000.

Extended Dinner Break for Schnettler

Just before the dinner break, Jeffrey Schnettler was all in against Michael Greco on a {J-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop.

Schnettler: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Greco: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{2-Spades}{8-Spades}

The turn was the {9-Diamonds}, keeping Greco in the lead. The {2-Clubs} on the river changed nothing and Schnettler was eliminated. He's our first to cash, earning $5,304 for making it past the bubble bursting. Meanwhile, Greco increased his stack to 150,000.

The Bubble Bursts; 54 Remain

Three players limped, including Jonathan Depa in the cutoff. Michael Greco completed from the small blind, and Alessandro Dalbello looked down at his stack of 4,000 in the big blind. He smiled and joked about pushing all in right then, but checked his option instead.

The flop came {9-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. It folded around to Depa who bet 4,600. Greco called from the small blind, and Dalbello shrugged and said he had to call, too, with his last chips.

"It has been fun guys," said Dalbello. "It is fun," he said, correcting his tense.

The two other players checked the {6-Diamonds} turn. The river was the {10-Clubs}. Greco paused a beat, then checked, and Depa checked as well. Greco showed {J-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} for the flopped boat, Depa mucked, and Dalbello tabled his busted flush draw -- {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}.

We're in the money!
