Devilfish Dispatched by the Mouth

Mike Matusow limped under the gun, and action folded to the button, who raised to 4,100. The small blind flatted, and David Ulliott shipped his stack in from the big blind. Matusow reshoved, and the blinds got out of the way. Time for showdown.

Devilfish: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}{j-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Matusow: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{9-Spades}

The board fell {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}, and Matusow rivered a boat to send Devilfish back to the watery depths. The Mouth, on the other hand, is accumulating talking chips and up to 90,000.

Diamonds are Schoenberg's Best Friend

On an {8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop, Ran Azor bet 3,000. Erica Schoenberg potted to 12,200, and Azor flatted.

The turn brought the {5-Clubs}, it was Azor's turn to pot. Schoenberg only had 4,100 left, and she called to get to showdown.

Schoenberg: {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for a turned straight to go with the nut diamond draw and ten-high club draw
Azor: {q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{5-Spades}{4-Spades} for two pair

The {j-Diamonds} floated down on the river to improve Schoenberg from a straight to the nut flush and double her to 37,000. Azor had a great first level of the day but has been on a downswing since then. He's back to 95,000.

G0lfa Shakes Down Schaffel

The three-way raised flop came out {q-Hearts}{9-Spades}{4-Diamonds}, and Alex Freiberg checked from the small blind. Ryan D'Angelo bet 12,500, and Kevin Schaffel called to see another card. Freiberg folded, and the dealer went to burn and turn without pulling the bets in. Always helpful, Men Nguyen shouted at him that he was ruining the hand. He brought them and and continued with the hand, putting the {9-Hearts} down on the turn. D'Angelo bet 22,000, and the dealer started to break it down for Schaffel. "Don't bother," Kevin said grumpily, mucking his hand.

Schaffel is down to 46,000 after starting the day with the chip lead. D'Angelo, on the other hand, has built his modest starting stack to 108,000.

Hang Tough

Tam Hang was already all in by the time we caught up with the action on the turn of a {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{3-Hearts} board - at which point Jason Mercier went all in as well for his last 21,900. Joe Cassidy called and all three turned their cards over.

Hang: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{5-Hearts}
Mercier: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Clubs}
Cassidy: {9-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{9-Spades}

River: {3-Spades}

Hang's made a full house to triple his stack to around 20,000. Mercier with his trip threes got the side pot and was up a little to 82,000. Cassidy got absolutely nothing and dropped to 36,000.

Le Finds a Fold

Daniel Makowsky bet 9,000 on a {q-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop, and one opponent folded. Nam Le took two minutes to make the call. Makowsky potted the {j-Spades} turn, meaning Le would have to call 34,800, almost exactly the amount in his stack. He super tanked, but after nearly five minutes, decided not to risk his tournament on this one. Le is down to 34,000 while Makowsky's stack got even bigger.

The Harder They Come, the Harder They Fall

It's like the night before a big flower show, with all the potting and re-potting going on in here.

Just now Christian Harder potted from the button and Benny Spindler re-potted from the big blind. After a few moments Harder called and they saw a flop.

The flop came down {k-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and Spindler silently bet pot. Harder folded and dropped to 32,000. Spindler moved on up to 60,000.
