After a series of preflop raises, Corwin Cole got his stack in the middle with an opposing player holding 
.
Unfortunately his opponent held two other nines; 
.
The board ran 
and Cole grabbed his bag before heading to the cage to collect his earnings.
Level: 14
Blinds: 1,000/2,000
Ante: 300
Drew Crawford opened for 4,000 in mid position, only for the player on the button to make it 11,000 to go. Crawford called and they saw a flop.
Flop: 
Crawford checked, and the button bet 10,000. Crawford now check-raised to 35,000, his opponent went all in for another 33,600, and Crawford made the call. On their backs, gentlemen.
Crawford: 
for top pair, the nut flush draw and some backdoor straight outs
Button: 
for top set
Turn: 
spelling zero outs for Crawford
River: an irrelevant but pretty 
Crawford dropped to a still up-there 190,000.
Tom Phan raised it up to 1,600 in early position and was faced with a reraise to 4,800 from another player a seat or two down the line. In mid position, Zvi Groysman called, and once it had folded back to him, Phan called too.
All three players checked the 
flop and they duly proceeded to the 
turn. Phan now bet out 7,000, and although one player folded, Groysman made the call.
The river was the 
and Phan moved in for around 18,000. Groysman called and promptly tabled 
. Whatever Phan was holding, we didn't get to see it. "You got me," was all he said as he mucked and headed to collect his modest winnings.
Groysman meanwhile is at 88,000.
"All-in and call" was announced from Table 331 in the Amazon Room, and when we arrived Marc Goldman had tabled in front of him. His opponent opened 
and it was off to the races.
The 
flop was innocent and so too was the 
on the turn. The on the river was not, and Goldman almost jumped out of his shoes.
With an unlit cigarette hanging from his mouth Sammy Farha style, Goldman began pacing around the table unable to control himself.
"What a hit," he said finally returning to his seat. "I can't believe you called."
His opponent remained silent, dejected at the outcome as a tournament director counted Goldman's chips. The final about was 86,500 and after adding the main pot, Goldman's stack ballooned to 190,000 chips.
Our current chip leader looks to be Andrew Youngblood, on 215,000.
Are you in the Amazon Room? Do you have a headache?
Well it's not going to get any better, because the already voluble Men Nguyen has just ordered what we think is his first drink of the day. We expect the overall volume of this tournament to increase by at least a few decibels when the beer arrives.
While waiting for his cocktail, Men "The Master" Nguyen opened to 5,500 from middle position and a player behind three-bet to 14,000. Another player moved all-in for 33,400 and action folded back to Nguyen who painstakingly folded.
The player stuck in between them called and tabled . The player who shoved had The Master flashed his hole cards and they were ace-king suited.
The flop fell 
and Nguyen was quite upset. The 
on the turn was a brick, but the 
slammed on the river solidifying the suck and re-suck.
The Master chose not to gamble in that spot, and the decision paid off.
After three-betting and taking a 40,000 chip pot down preflop a few hands prior, Jonathan Aguiar re-raised an opponent with from the small blind. His opponent four-bet shoved on the button and Aguiar snapped it off.
His opponent tabled 
and right in the middle of the flop was the accompanied by both the and . Aguiar couldn't find a king on the turn (
) or the river () and saw his stack fall to 60,000.
There had already been a raise to 11,000 and a call before Lee Markholt called all in for 9,100. The three players, one all in, went to the flop.
Flop: 
The preflop caller moved all in, the original raiser folded, and the players still in the hand flipped their cards over.
Markholt: 
Flop Shover: he showed, but it was all swept in rather quickly and we rather missed it; either way it couldn't beat Markholt's hand following the turn...
Turn:
River:
Markholt tripled up to 35,000.
