Aguiar Takes a Dive
We caught the action as the flop was being dealt. Both players' cards were on their backs, the player in late position all in for 13,300.
Mr. Late Position: 
Jon Aguiar: 
Board: 
The flop was good for Aguiar but the river was not. He dropped to 23,000.
Keating Chips Up
After a series of raises, Alex Keating and his opponent got all the chips in the middle preflop.
Keating showed 
and his opponent tabled 
.
The board rolled out 
and Keating took the pot and is up to 52,200.
Davis Framed
We arrived just in time to see snooker legend Steve Davis double up with 
on an ace-high board. He doubled to perhaps 50,000. Some interesting light was shed on the action by another player at the table.
"You owe me 500," said the other player.
"Sorry?" said Davis; good to know he had no idea what the gentleman was talking about either.
"Next time, over-raise against me and we'll be even," continued the player.
"I might never do it again," said Davis.
Brikis Calls Blind
A player from early position moved all in for 2,400. It folded around to Josh Brikis who said, "I haven't even looked yet," and tossed in the chips, making the call.
Brikis: 
Opponent:
The board, 
was no help for Brikis' opponent, who made an bit of an early exit to the day.
Level: 10
Blinds: 500/1,000
Ante: 100
Not Nguyen-ing Today
When we walked up to the table Men Nguyen's tournament life was on the line against David Singer. Nguyen showed 
and was well behind Singer with 
.
The board brought little help to Nguyen when it came down 
and Nguyen was headed toward the rail.
Going for Gold
Jamie Gold opened for 2,000 in late position and then called the shove for 5,300 total from the gentleman on the button.
Gold: 
Button Gentleman:
Board: 
With that, Gold moved up to 58,000.
Reading Skills
The board read 
and Jon Aguiar check-called his opponents bet of 7,500.
The 
hit the turn, and again Aguiar checked. His opponent moved all in for 11,600.
"Show if I fold," asked Aguiar. His opponent said yes, and Aguiar tossed his cards in the muck.
"At least I made a good read for the first time - I had nines," said Aguiar after his opponent tabled pocket kings.
And Thien There Was One
We caught the action on the river of the 
board, with a gentleman in mid-position snap-shoving for 40,000 into a 60,000 pot. Thien Nguyen in the cutoff tanked up for a long, long time, and then called, turning over for a straight. His opponent was furious.
"Nice slowroll," he said, flashing before storming off.
Nguyen raked in the huge pot, and it turned out it wasn't really a slowroll - he'd really been concerned that his opponent could had been holding 
for the higher straight. More of a nitroll, perhaps.
Either way, Nguyen is up to 165,000 and if he's not actually our chip leader right now, he can't be far off.
