Chop It Up
Johnny Chan and Huck Seed saw a 
flop with the former the preflop raiser. The two former Main Event Champions then proceeded to check down the 
turn and 
river, only to chop it up with 
and 
respectively.
Teeny Tiny Ball
These players are taking small ball to a new level. In the last hand, Huck Seed limped his small blind, and Howard Lederer checked. It went check-check as usual on the 
flop. The turn was the 
, and Seed checked. This time, Lederer bet a whopping one big blind. Seed called the 10,000. The river was the 
, and Seed checked again. Lederer checked behind, showing 
for jacks and eights with an ace to take the pot.
Miscalculation from the Professor
Huck Seed raised to 25,000 from the button, Howard Lederer called in the small blind and Johnny Chan folded from the big.
Both players checked the 
flop, only for Seed to lead out for 20,000 on the 
turn. Lederer raised to what I believe was 70,000, which triggered an all-in for 124,000 total from Seed.
Despite it being just 54,000 more, Lederer decided against the call and released his hand. As a result, a previously short-stacked Seed is now back up to over 250,000.
Going Like the Clappers
Despite having railed for the last several hours, the members of the crowd have remained enthusiastic throughout, in particular the smattering of Johnny Chan fans who seem to have bred as the day has passed. On one hand, Chan even received an array of cheers for getting a walk!
Chan's not the only player with support, however, as Huck Seed appears to have attracted one super keen fan who I've labeled as 'The Clapper'. Seed only has to scratch his bottom and this dude will offer rapturous applause. He also claps louder, and longer than anyone else and he's always the guy who's still clapping when everyone else has finished. A true fan who could possibly spur on the former World Champion to victory.
Seed Gives Up on the Ladies
Howard Lederer raised on the button, and Johnny Chan folded his small blind. Huck Seed three-bet to 62,000, and Lederer flatted to see a flop. It fell 
, and Seed checked. Lederer bet 100,000, and Seed folded queens face up. Clearly it's going to take a lot to make someone go broke when the pay jump between third and second is $150,000 and the jump between third and first is $400,000.

Battle of the Blinds
Johnny Chan and Huck Seed saw a cheap 
flop from the small and big blind respectively where Chan led for 20,000 and Seed called. Despite the initial resistance, Chan took it down on the with a bet of a 60,000.
Seven, Seven, Seven, Seed
Johnny Chan limped on the button, and from the small blind, Huck Seed made it 47,000 to go. Howard Lederer gave up his big blind, and Chan called to see a fateful flop. It came 
. Seed bet 47,000. Chan moved all in, and Seed snap called all in, risking his last 156,000 with the best of it.
Seed: 
Chan: 
Chan was drawing dead with top pair after the turn. Just for fun, Seed improved to a flush with the 
on the river and doubled to 419,000. Chan was left with 115,000.
