We admittedly look past James "Flushy" Dempsey often since we just don't see him that much over here in the States. We saw him in the field earlier, but he has kept off our radar for most of the evening.
Not anymore. A quick check on Flushy sees that somewhere along the line, he worked his way into a commanding chip lead. He's sitting pretty with 140,000 chips right now, and that puts him well out in front of his nearest challenger at this point.
Erich Froehlich made an opening raise to 2,500, and Jeff Willams three-bet to 9,000 from the button. An unknown player in the small blind moved all in for 9,200 total, folding Froehlich and drawing the quick call from Williams.
Showdown
Williams: 
Opponent: 
The board came 
, holding the at-risk player's aces and issuing him a double up over 20,000. Williams is down to 24,000 now.
Level: 9
Blinds: 500/1,000
Ante: 0
We're now on a twenty-minute break.
Jason DeWitt opened the pot with a 2,800-chip bet in early position and Team PokerStars Pro Tom McEvoy called on the button.
Flop: 
McEvoy went all in for 4,300 chips after DeWitt checked the action. He got called.
Showdown:
McEvoy: 
DeWitt: 
Turn:
River: 
Double up for DeWitt, and he's now up to 14,000 chips. McEvoy slipped to 13,000.
When we arrived at the table the flop was reading 
and Tom Schneider checked the action back to his opponent who put out a 2,000-chip bet.
Schneider popped it to 8,000 and his opponent went all in. Schneider called with 
.
The turn and the river 
, gave him the pot.
Schneider is now up to 35,000 chips.
Scott Haraden has been sitting with Humberto Brenes for the majority of the day, and there is a little bit of history between the two men at this WSOP already. Brenes ended Haraden's day in Event #5 earlier this week, setting up another confrontation today. A couple hours ago, well before the dinner break, Haraden told Brenes he was coming for his stack. Cue the dramatic foreshadowing.
In this pot, Haraden opened to 2,400, and Brenes moved all in for 6,200 total. Haraden quickly called.
Showdown
Haraden: 
Brenes: 
The board ran down 
, and that was not at all helpful for The Shark. "We're even," Haraden said with a smirk, and Brenes responded with a big smile. He's out, and Haraden may well be the chip leader with 76,000.
When we arrived at the table Marco Johnson was all in with his pocket kings. His opponent had and the board of 
gave Marco a full double up. He's now up to 30,000 chips.

We picked up the action on a flop of 
in a heads-up pot. Jason Potter put out a bet of 2,300, and Eric Haddad quickly put in the call.
The turn brought the , and Potter decided to check. Haddad took the opportunity to make a small bet of 1,800, and Potter went into the tank. He asked Haddad how much he had left (about 8,000) and sunk in his chair muttering, "Hate my life right now..." After some time, he moved all in, and Haddad called.
Showdown
Potter:
Haddad: 
Haddad was in front with his set, and he would stay that way as the river improved him to the winning full house. He's doubled up, dropping Potter down to 38,000.
