Michael Keiner was all in preflop and both Trai Dang and EPT San Remo finalist Michael Piper both called.
They saw a flop and Dang checked. Piper moved all in for 23,200. Dang called and all three were on their backs.
Keiner: for kings
Dang: for a flush draw and a gutshot
Piper: for two pair
"I'm in trouble," said Piper.
As it happened, Piper promptly turned a full house ("Boom!" he said) and got the whole pot, putting him up to around 75,000. Keiner busted out with a polite nod, and Dang was left with just 6,000.
Jose Nacho Barbero started the day on 61,900 and Dan Shak started on 100,800. They have now more than swapped stacks - Barbero up to 115,000, Shak down to just 44,500.
We caught up with them this time on the river of a board. Shak bet 24,000 and Barbero disappeared into the tank for some minutes. Eventually he called - and was good.
Shak: for a variety of straight and flush draws which never came in
Barbero: for kings
Ran Azor is up to 122,000 after knocking out two proverbial birds with one PLO stone. We didn't quite catch the hands, but Vivek Rajkumar and David Shane are both now at the rail.
Tex Barch potted a flop, and Kevin "ImaLuckSac" MacPhee called all in for his last 13,000.
MacPhee: for overpair and straight draws
Barch: for top pair and straight draws
The turn gave Barch two pair but made MacPhee Broadway. And the on the river improved Barch to a not-any-better three pair, so MacPhee doubled up to 67,000. Tex slid to 68,000.
We arrived just in time to see "Miami" John Cernuto raking in a big pot and Allen Bari standing up to leave with a slightly unwell expression on his face. Whatever Bari had will remain forever lost in the mists of time, but Cernuto was holding (X)(XX) for a full house on a board.
Justin Smith got all of his chips in with on a flop. He had to dodge [Removed:106]'s . The turn and river didn't complete Leclerc's straight draw, and Boosted J doubled to 65,000. Leclerc was left with 20,000.
