Eugene Katchalov was all in against Scott Bohlman and a third opponent, and the board read 
. Bholman's 
was good for the low, the third opponent's 
was good for the high, and, unfortunately, Katchalov's 
was good for nothing.

Our of our 202-player starting field, just two were women, and they're both now on the rail.
Under the gun, Vanessa Selbst raised all in for her last 5,500, and Andrey Zaichenko called. Kostas Kalathakis reraised in position, David "Bakes" Baker called from the big blind, and Zaichenko called the extra bet, too.
The flop came 
, and Baker checked. Zaichenko bet, Kalathakis raised, and Baker made it three bets on a check-raise. That folded Zaichenko, but Kalathakis was in it for another card. It was the 
, and Kalathakis called one more bet. When Baker bet the 
river, he finally folded, and "Bakes" tabled a strong 
.
Selbst showed her hand, 
, and that's the end of her day.
Baker is up to about 93,000 as he stacks that pot.
Mikael Thuritz and Alessio Isaia were heads-up with the board reading 
. Isaia check-called a bet from Thuritz, then check-raised him after the 
turned. Thuritz called.
The river was the , and Isaia led out. Thuritz called, and angrily mucked when Isaia tabled 
for Broadway.

Five players saw a flop of 
, including Steve Sung, Vanessa Selbst, Andrey Zaichenko and David Steicke. The action checked to Sung who bet, and Selbst, Zaichenko and another player called.
The turn was the , Zaichenko led, and only Sung called. The river brought the , Zaichenko led again, and Sung called. Sung tabled 
for a flush and the nut-low, which was good enough to scoop the pot.

Scott Clements limped into the pot in early position, and Shaun Deeb raised to two bets. The player on the button three-bet, Clements cold-called, and Deeb made it four bets to go. The other two flatted, and off they went to a flop with more than 40,000 in the pot already.
It came 
, and Clements check-called a Deeb bet. The button ducked out of the way, and the 
dropped on fourth street. Clements led out now, then called an extra bet when Deeb raised. Clements check-called another big bet on the river.
Deeb turned up for aces full, and it was plenty good enough. "I had an out," Clements lamented with a bit of a smirk. We wonder whether it was the pocket sixes kind of one out, or the kind of one out. In any event, it missed, and Clements is down to about 125,000. That's in Deeb territory now he climbs up to about 120,000 with that healthy pot.
Fabrizio Gonzalez raised from late position, and was called by Andy Bloch in the small blind. The flop came down 
, and Bloch check-called a bet from Gonzalez. He check-called another bet after the turned, both players checked after the paired the board on the river, and the hands were turned over.

Bloch: 
Gonzalez scooped, and is now our unofficial chip leader.

Action folded around to a player in middle position, and he opened with a raise. That's where everything went wrong. When the cutoff folded, the dealer made a big fumble collecting the mucked cards, and the whole stub fell out of her hand and onto the table. There were at least a dozen cards face-up, including two kings and two aces. Ranks and suit symbols were partially visible in a sloppy mosaic of failure.
"It looks like that game show Concentration," Mike Sexton chimed in from the adjacent table.
"Floor!"
It took a few minutes to sort it out, but the entire garbage pile was eventually re-shuffled and the hand was played out. The small blind called the raise, and it went check-check through the flop. The small blind bet the turn, and the preflop raiser folded face-up. The small blind flashed his own , and the two men laughed off the fact that they had the case aces in the deck. Onto the next hand, though it looks like there might be a new dealer pushing in.
