Toto Leonidas: (X-X) / 
Andrew Pantling: (X-X) / 
/ (X)
Freddy Deeb: (X-X) / 
/ (X)
When we arrived on sixth, Pantling bet, and Deeb called. Leonidas had already invested a quarter of his stack in the pot, but he decided not to call one more bet. Pantling and Deeb both checked on the end, and Pantling showed / . Deeb couldn't beat a seven-five and mucked, while Toto lamented his decision to fold. He would have caught a four and made number two to scoop a much-needed pot. Instead, Leonidas is down to 18l, Deeb has 85k, and Pantling is all the way up to 185k.

Matt Keikoan: (X-X) / 
/ (X)
Marco Johnson: (X-X) / 
/ (X)
Abe Mosseri: (X-X) / 
/ (X)
Keikoan completed, and Johnson called. Mosseri raised, and both players called the extra bet. On fourth, Keikoan bet out, and Johnson flatted again. Mosseri stuck in a raise, putting himself all in. Keikoan three-bet, and CrazyMarco called both bets, starting a side-pot with Matt. They checked it down after that, and Mosseri showed 
for trip queens to win the main pot and stay alive with 70,000. Johnson's 
didn't give him anything but a busted draw, and Keikoan took the small side pot with a pair of eights. Even with that small gift, Keikoan is down to 27,000. Johnson still has 150,000.
Omaha-8
Action folded to Steve Billirakis who raised from the cutoff with Scotty Nguyen calling on the button and Phil Galfond coming along in the big blind.
The flop landed 
and Galfond checked to Billirakis who fired a bet. Nguyen called as did Galfond.
The turn brought a repeat 
and again Galfond checked to Billirakis. He fired again and both opponents called.
The river was another 
and again Galfond checked and Billirakis bet. Nguyen called as Galfond got out of the way.
Billirakis opened 
for a full house which was good as Nguyen quietly mucked. Billirakis has a big chip lead now, with around 280,000 as the empire of the Prince of Poker is starting to fall. He's down to 85,000.
