No More Fooling Around

When we started the day the biggest stacks were around 75,000. Once the bubble burst there was an expected flurry of eliminations. Players who have benefitted the most from this increased action have built pretty enormous stacks. The biggest stack in the room is over the 200,000 mark with many more around 160,000 and threatening to close in.
No Respect for Channing
Neil Channing is having trouble getting anything past his table. He raised to 3,800 from the hijack, in the form of 38 black T100 chips. Without any hesitation, the cutoff reraised. Channing folded with a sigh. "For the fourth time in a row," he lamented. "No, only the third," the cutoff said. Channing has raise-folded himself down to 24,000.
Mick Carlson Bags a Monster Pot
When action folded to Mick Carlson in the small blind, he raised to 4,400, and the player in the big blind, spoke with his chips and told him to back down with a raise to 13,600. Carlson shuffled his cards in his hands for a while before announcing he was all in. The player in the big blind was quick to call.
Carlson: 
Opponent: 
Carlson was quick to hit an out on a flop of 
. The 
came on the turn and the 
followed on the river.
It looks like Carlson is now up to about 165,000 chips, which puts him into contention for the chip lead.
Luck Be a Lady
Sabyl Landrum three-bet shoved from the small blind after the cutoff opened. The big blind got out of the way, and the original raiser called. Landrum's 
had to dodge her opponent's 
. The board fell 
, and the ladies held for Landrum. She had the other player just covered, sending him to the rail and chipping up to 64,000.
Look Out, Here Comes Goldstein
We got to the table and started to take in what would develop into a huge hand. It looked like Josh Goldstein had raised from late position (as there was about 10,000 in the pot) with the dealer re-raising an additional 6,400. Goldstein took a couple of minutes to announce a four-bet for an additional 10,100. Another few minutes later the player on the button said he was all in and Goldstein snap-called.
Goldstein: 
Opponent: 
Goldstein was way ahead, but he picked up a bit of a sweat when the flop came down 
. The 
came on the turn, and while the river was a bit of a heart-stopper, Goldstein's aces held up.
After the hand it looks like Goldstein is the proud owner of 163,000 chips.
WSOP Cash Race
Shawn Buchanan busted just before the break. He earned $2,289 for 195th place. The cash marks his sixth of the 2010 WSOP, tying him with Pat Pezzin for most cashes of the summer. Tad Jurgens, who finished in 205th place, picked up his fifth cash of the series. He's now tied for second with Christian Harder and Michael Glasser.

Dinner Is Served
They've only played three and a half levels so far, so it's a little early, but those who survived the post-bubble bloodshed are off on a 60-minute dinner break. They'll play six levels when they return before calling it a night. So really, this is brunch.
D'Angelo Playing a Monster Stack
Ryan D'Angelo is maintaining his place as the chipleader. He just added 3,500 to his stack when he re-raised an under the gun raise to 3,500 from the small blind. He committed enough to put the other player all in and said to someone else at the table, "I'm so dead, Andy. He probably has nines and he's going to call."
D'Angelo wasn't right on that one. His opponent reluctantly folded and will try to pick up some chips in another spot.
