Another Notch On the Belt for Adelstein
Garrett Adelstein check-raised the flop after one player bet and another called. He made it 60,000 more than the original bet. The original bettor folded and then the other player called again.
The turn brought the 
and action was checked to Adelstein. He fired a bet of 150,000 to put his opponent all in. The player tanked and then made the call.
Adelstein held the 
for a flush draw and was actually ahead of his opponent's 
for a weaker flush draw and a straight draw.
The river was the 
and missed the all-in player. Adelstein scooped the pot and eliminated someone else en route to 1.48 million in chips.
Straate Rivers Flush
With the board reading 
, Benjamin Straate bet 75,000 into Charlie Hook. Hook called. Straate opened 
for a rivered flush and Hook mucked.
Hook slipped to 500,000 chips while Straate is up to 1,100,000.
Karamalikis Squeezes and Sweats
With a raise to 15,000 from Bartolome Gomilaromero from under the gun, there were three callers before the action was with Jonathan Karamalikis in the small blind. He decided to commit his entire stack which was roughly another 120,000.
His raise got past Gomilaromero and the first two callers, but the player on the button decided there was too much money out there to fold for his last 90,000 as he made a gambling call.
Karamalikis: 
Opponent: 
The flop was interesting as Karamalikis found top pair but his opponent picked up a pair and a flush draw. The turn was the 
and river the as Karamalikis takes it down to eliminate an opponent and double up to 305,000.
Phillips Down Again
Up and down, up and down. It's been a day of big swings for Carter Phillips. He's swinging down again after a big pot just a few moments ago. On a flop of 
, one player checked to Phillips, who made a bet of 31,000. That bet was called, taking Phillips and his opponent to the turn. Again the out-of-position player. But after Phillips bet 76,000, that player raised to 226,000. Phillips called.
The river was the 
. Phillips' opponent moved all in for more than 300,000, drawing an instant fold from Phillips. That's when the other player opened 
for a busted heart draw.
Phillips is down to about 225,000.
Selbst Ships it In There
The player under the gun opened the pot to 14,000, and his next-door neighbor called. Vanessa Selbst decided a reraise was in order, and she squeezed 35,000 chips into the middle. The initial raiser four-bet to 88,000, and that was enough to fold the man in the middle and put the decision back to Selbst. Undeterred, she promptly five-bet shoved for 268,000 total. Her opponent hemmed and hawed and folded, and Selbst flashed her 
off-suit as she pulled in more than 100,000 chips to add to her stack.
She's at about 380,000 now.
Feature Table For the Nguyen
Some more player movement over at the main feature table to pass along. The table broke, with only Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi staying behind. Scott Nguyen is among the group coming over to join him.
Nguyen brought with him congratulations for Mizrachi for being one of four brothers to make the cash in this year's Main Event.
"No family can top that, baby," said Nguyen as he shook Mizrachi's hand. "Except for mine!" he added with a big laugh. "I'm talking about eight years from now," he explained, referring to his children becoming old enough to help the Nguyen family try to compete with the Mizrachis.
As far as these two competing tonight goes, Nguyen has the edge should they go the battle.
Mizrachi is still hovering around 100,000. What does Nguyen have? Let's ask him... "Six-thirty, baby." That stack of 630,000 gives him close to twice the average stack at the moment.
Express Tran
Theo Tran just doubled up his "90,000 straight" stack with 
versus , the board pairing both players but ultimately awarding the pot to Tran.
I'm not 100 percent sure who the victim was, but my suspicion lies with bracelet winner Matt Matros as it was he who commented "nice hand" with a slight sense of disgruntlement. Either way, Matros has 250,000.
Chiu'd Up, Spat Out
David Chiu was down to just 16,000 when he pushed in mid position. Theo Jorgensen made the call and they were on their backs.
Chiu: 
Jorgensen: 
Board: 
Chiu had a variety of outs on the turn, but it was not to be. Beggars can't be Chiu-sers, though, and he added $21,327 to his score for this year's Series.
Buchman Busts Opponent
The only 2009 November Niner remaining, Eric Buchman, just busted a player at his table. All the chips were in preflop, and Buchman had his opponent dominated:
