Thierry Van Den Berg opened the pot in early position with a 4,000-chip raise. In middle position, another player popped it to 8,000, and the Dutch Team PokerStars Pro called.
The 
flop was checked by both players. The turn card was a 
and they both checked again.
When the 
hit the felt on the river, Ven Den Berg moved all in for about 16,000 chips.
His opponent eventually called and tabled pocket aces. Van Den Berg asked him, "Are you happy with this? Slowroll me?" and left the table.
Wild hand just now involving Alex Jacob.
Preflop action had build a small pot between Jacob and an opponent before the first three community cards came 
. Jacob's opponent led for 13,500, and Jacob responded by reraising all in for 39,800 total. His opponent quickly called, tabling 
for the flopped full house. Jacob was in dire straits with his 
.
The turn was the 
and Jacob was still hurting. But the river brought the

When we arrived at the table the board spread 
and there were two players all in. Kara Scott holding pocket queens and Jorge Carvalho and his .
No help for Carvalho and is out of the tournament. Scott is now up to 66,000 chips.
We had noticed Matthew Shepsky sitting at Andrew Talbot's table, and how both had especially large stacks. Was perhaps just a matter of time for those two to tangle.
The table had folded around to Talbot on the button who opened for 5,200. Shepsky then reraised to 17,000 from the big blind. Talbot responded by shoving all in for more than 100,000, and Shepsky didn't wait too long to make the call.
Shepsky showed , while Talbot tabled . The board ran out 
, and Talbot -- who enjoyed the chip lead among the Day 1b players yesterday and was also among the leaders for much of today -- has been eliminated.
Shepsky looks to have the biggest stack in the room now with about 220,000.
After a player opened the pot with a 4,500-chip raise, Jon Van Fleet moved all in for about 29,000 chips. The action folded to the initial raiser, and he called.
Showdown
Van Fleet: 
Opponent: 
The 
board, gave Van Fleet a full double up, is now up to 63,000 chips.
Jon Van Fleet opened the pot with a 10,000-chip raise and saw a player moved all in for about 20,000. Van Fleet eventually called.
Showdown
Van Fleet: 
Opponent:
The 
board, leaved Van Fleet with 43,000 chips.
We just witnessed a player receive a one-round penalty for, well, trying to cheat. No shinola.
A player had left the table, and so there was an empty seat when the cards for the next hand were being dealt. A player sitting next to the absent player's seat managed to slide one (or perhaps both) of the absent player's cards closer to his hand, apparently in an effort to get a look and maybe find the best two with which to start.
The dealer saw what was happening and alerted the floor, and the penalty was subsequently delivered.
It started as a seemingly less-than-special blind-vs.-blind hand in which the small blind limped and Dan Hart checked his option from the BB. Then came the flop -- -- at which point things became interesting rather quickly. Really, it did.
The small blind bet 2,700 -- less than half the pot -- and Hart promptly raised to 6,000. "What are you trying to sell me on?" asked the small blind as he made the call.
The turn was the 
. The small blind checked this time, then Hart bet 10,000. Hart's opponent then check-raised to 40,000.
"What are you trying to sell me on?" asked Hart. He made the call. (You buyin' this?)
The river then came the 
. The small blind quickly announced he was all in, and Hart called with his remaining chips.
The small blind showed for trip sevens, but Hart had him outkicked with .
Now that was a story worth something, yes? It certainly was for Hart, who bumps all of the way up to 240,000 on that one.
