Ryan D'Angelo explained to us how he's up to 310,000. He raised to 9,000, and out of the blinds, an opponent made it 19,900 total. D'Angelo flatted with 
. The flop came 
, and his opponent bet 22,200. D'Angelo shoved, and the player called off his last 70,000 with 
. D'Angelo hit an ace on the turn to improve to an unbeatable boat and move back toward the top of the counts. That's how it's done, folks.
Mick Carlson had just arrived at Table 376 and didn't take long to make his presence felt. In one of the first few hands since arriving he was acting after a raise to 9,100 from the cutoff that was followed by a raise to 20,000 from the button. Carlson was in the big blind and announced he was all in for about 180,000. The player in the cutoff folded, but the player on the button did not.
Carlson: 
Button: 
It looked like we were headed to a chopped pot when the flop came down 
, but Carlson picked up a flush draw with the 
on the turn. His friends called for a heart from the rail and the dealer delivered with the 
on the river.
Carlson had his opponent covered and now has about 250,000 chips.
An hour ago, Thomas "gnightmoon" Fuller tweeted, "<100 players left hands are taking forever structure going to hell this will be the closest i come to shooting craps this trip." So far, craps is going rather well for Fuller.
The button raised to 10k, and Fuller moved all in from the small blind for 95k more. As soon as the amount had been determined, his opponent announced a confident call. Fuller's 
was up against 
for all the chips. The 
flop was good Fuller but the sweat was far from over. With the 
on the turn, Fuller's opponent traded queen outs for jack outs. It didn't matter, as the on the river shipped the 200k pot to Fuller. Looks like the moon's not ready for bet just yet.
David Sands and an opponent got it all in pre. Sands had his opponent covered, but his opponent had him dominated with to Sands' 
. The 
flop was fine for the at risk player, and the 
was safe too. It was the on the river that killed him. Sands' friends on the rail let out a big cheer as the eliminated player stood up in shock. "I do that regularly," Sands told him. "Don't feel bad." Doubt that helped. The Doc is up to 164,000.
Our new chip leader appears to be John Clancy who we just caught organizing a stack of 380,000 chips.
Josh Goldstein called an under the gun raise to 7,500 care of Peter Dufek in order to see a flop of

Carlson: 
Opponent:
The board came 
and Carlson's opponent doubled up with Carlson slipping to 180,000.
Not too long afterwards, Scott Montgomery picked up and got it all in preflop against an opponent's 
. The board didn't improve his opponent's hand and Montgomery is now up to 210,000.
A player in the hijack opened to 8,500, and David Sands made it 17,500 to go on the button. Then the big blind called all in for a total of 16,600. It only took the original raiser a minute to decide to call, but it was a good three minutes before everyone at the table agreed the bets had been pulled in correctly. Finally it was all sorted out, and on to the flop: 
. The hijack checked, and when Sands slid out a big bet, he gave up his hand. Sands turned up . His opponent was in bad shape with . "Straighten me out," he asked hopefully. No dice, as the 
on the turn had him drawing dead.
With his timely aces, Doc Sands is up to 108,000.
Scott Montgomery raised to 7,000 from the cutoff and was soon facing an all-in re-raise of 30,000 more from the player in the big blind. As you can probably guess from our headline, Montgomery made the call.

Once Montgomery had stacked his new chips up, his total ran about 145,000.
