Wraith Wrong
Matthew Waxman opened with a raise only to have Mark Wraith move all in. Waxman made the call tabling his 
to dominate Wraith's 
.
The board ran out 
to see Wraith hit the rail as Waxman climbs to 75,000 in chips.
Handy Andy
It's been a good start for Andy Bloch who has added several thousand to his stack. He now has 44,000 and just took down a pot with a bet of 4,000 on a 
flop. His opponent did that thing where he picks up his cards, shakes his heads and, although he was always folding, takes a while to make the fold. It was clearly the right decision in the end, though, as Bloch revealed 
for the overpair.
Frost Falls
John Frost open-shoved and Jeffery Leroy followed suit.

The board ran out 
to see Frost fall short of the money as Leroy climbs to 35,000 in chips.
