David Assouline opened to 40,000 from under the gun and Gualter Salles made the call from the hi-jack before Andrew Brokos made it 175,000 to go from the small blind.
Assouline passed but Salles made the call to see a 
flop fall.
Both players checked, and when the 
peeled off on the turn, a bet of 250,000 from Brokos was enough to take the pot down and see him climb to 1,230,000 in chips.

Usually when you dink a gutshot on the river to make your straight, you're pretty happy about it, but that wasn't the case for Juha Helppi in a recent pot.
We caught it on the river on a board of 
. Helppi fired 235,000 into the middle and John Dolan made a quick call.
Helppi knew that his 
was only good for half as Dolan caught up with his 
. Chop it up boys! Helppi is at 1.4 million.
"It's not you, it's me," said Jean-Robert Bellande to Jose Nadal. Bellande and Nadal had gotten it in pre-flop. Bellande showed 
against Nadal's . But the perpetually snake-bitten Bellande was run down on the river, 
.
Bellande still has plenty of chips with about 1.65 million. Nadal is up to 1.2 million.
Sergey Rybachenko opened to 60,000 from the cutoff only to have Gary Kostiuk move all in for 271,000 from the small blind. Rybachenko made the call to Kostiuk at risk.
Rybachenko:
Kostiuk: 
The flop of 
put Kostiuk in the lead and brought about a round of a applause from the audience as the landed on the turn.
The river landed the 
to see Kostiuk double through to 593,000 in chips while Rybachenko slips to 290,000 in chips.
First into the pot from the hijack seat, Charles Norris open-shoved his last ~300,000. We prefer to call him Chuck, though. Next door, Tony "Bond18" Dunst reshoved for 816,000, and the action wasn't done yet. When the button folded, small blind Ian Gordon called with his covering stack, and that put both players at risk and gave us a three-way showdown for the cameras! Cards up, gents:
Norris: 
Dunst: 
Gordon:
Dunst stood from his chair to sweat his all in while Norris took the more conservative, more optimistic seated approach to his own sweat. Dunst was the only one chatting: "Well, if I have to go out, this is an admirable way to do it."
Ah, not so fast, Mr. Bond18.
The flop brought Dunst a pair with 
, and the turn meant that Norris was drawing dead and eliminated pending a fair river card. He finally stood to prepare for his exit, and the dealer filled out the board with the . That's just fine with Dunst, and he earned the knockout to more than double up his stack.
He's up to about 2.1 million now, though we'll have to wait for him to finish stacking up to get a better count.
Following a 
flop, Bryn Kenney bet 165,000, and Hasan Habib called. The turn brought the . Kenney checked this time, Habib bet 200,000, and Kenney called.
The river was the . Kenney checked again, Habib bet 400,000, and Kenney called one more time.
Habib showed 
-- he'd flopped quads -- and Kenney mucked. Habib moves to 2.6 million on that one. We assume he wins some sort of meat snack prize as well.
Kenney would soon be involved in another hand with Vern Keller in which the latter was all in before the flop for his last 320,000 or so. In that one, Kenney had opened with a raise from the button, and Keller reraised all in from the big blind with 
. Kenney called with his 
, and binked a seven on the river to eliminate Keller. Kenney now has 2.68 million.
"All in pre" as they say. As in all the chips went in before the flop. Scott Clements and Jerry Payne had a couple of "all in pre"-type hands, too. Clements had 
, and Payne . Payne was the one at risk, having committed his last 580,000 on this one.
The board came 
, and Payne moved up to about 1.2 million. Clements falls to 1.37 million.
