Cupcakes for Everyone
The birthday boy has busted and the prop bet has ended.
Andy Bloch struggled with both his cupcakes and his table throughout the day. In one of the first hands after the break, he was all-in against Blair Hinkle and when we reached the table the hands were open and the board was completed:
Bloch: 
Hinkle: 
Board: 
.
Bloch stood up with a smile on his face and offered one of the remaining cupcakes to a nearby player. We're sure he doesn't want to see another cupcake for a while.
The official Bloch Cupcake Count ended at 6.5.
Hinkle in the other hand is alive and well, now sitting with over 70,000 chips.

May Day
We have one of our first heads-up matches on Table 26 between Martin Kabrhel and a player named Ben May. Kabrhel began the match with the chip lead, but has since doubled his opponent.
Kabrhel recently raised with the button and May called. The flop fell 
and May checked to Kabrhel who bet 1,475. May check-raised to 4,000 and Kabrhel elected to call.
The turn was the 
and May again checked to Kabrhek who moved all-in. May called and the hands were tabled:
May: 
Kabrhek: 
Kabrhek needed a three on the river to fill his gut-shot draw, but it did not come as the hit the felt doubling May to 38,000 chips and dropping Kabrhek to 112,000 chips.
Heads Up For Tilly
Jennifer Tilly opened from the small blind to 1,900 and her opponent made it 6,000 to go. Tilly deliberated for some time before sliding in a stack to effectively put her opponent all in.
After nearly three minutes in the tank Tilly's opponent made the call tabling his 
to be dominated by Tilly's 
.
The board ran out 
and the dealer pushed the pot to Tilly to send her to over 60,000 in chips as the eliminated opponent just tapped the table and walked off as the dealer began dealing the next hand.
Note: this hand is not a mistake, does not contain a typo, but has been correctly sighted and reported by two PokerNews employees
Vedes Chips Up
In a multi-way pot with around 8,000 in the middle, Tommy Vedes fired out for his last 14,000 on a 
flop.
The remaining active players folded to see Vedes table his 
to be drawing live against his opponent's 
.
The 
on the turn was enough to put Vedes in the lead, and after the river blanked, Vedes scooped the pot to climb to 25,000 as his opponent hit the rail.
Vedes however is still chasing table chip leader Jimmy Collopy who has 50,000 in chips with play at five-handed.
Chan Folds Trips
On a board reading 
Johnny Chan fired out a bet of 2,500 only to have Seth Berger drop in a stack of 5,000-denomination chips to effectively put Chan all in.
After deliberating for near on five minutes Chan asked, "You got a flush? I can't beat a flush."
Some more time went by before Chan flashed his for trips as Berger raked in the pot to move to 42,000 as Chan slips to 24,000 in chips.
Just Quads for Duthie
On a flop of 
John Duthie pushed his last 43,450 into the pot over his opponent's 6,700-chip bet.
His opponent immediately called tabling 
, but was behind Duthie's .
The 
changed little, and just to rub some salt into the wounds, the 
landed on the river to give Duthie quads and the pot to take him to 95,000 with play still four-handed on his table.
