We've got two levels in the books, and the players have been sent off for a twenty-minute break.
Perry Green raised from early position, and was re-raised by Richard Ashby in the blinds. Green called, and the flop fell . Ashby bet, and Green called. Green called another bet after the turned, but when Ashby led a third time on the river (), Green folded, leaving himself with just 25,000 chips.
We unfortunately missed the hand, but he busted soon after in 17th place, and will have to settle with $20,564.
Mikhail Tulchinskiy raised the button, and Alessio Isaia called from the small blind. The two men were heads-up, and Tulchinskiy had just 22,000 chips left, so they both went ahead and just put it in there dark.
Showdown
Tulchinskiy:
Isaia:
The flop was not particularly good for Tulchinskiy, but the turn definitely was. The river kept Tulchinskiy's trips safe, and that allows him to double up to 117,000 as the break hits.
Josh Arieh and Mack Lee were heads up with the board reading . Lee led out, and Arieh called. The turn was the , and the two got enough bets in to put Arieh all in.
Arieh:
Lee:
"No five!" Arieh pleaded upon seeing Lee's hand.
The dealer obliged, delivering the on the river, and Arieh shipped the double up.

We picked up the action on the flop as Mike Sexton was betting the . Brendan Taylor was his only opponent in the pot, and he called to see the turn. Sexton checked this time, and Taylor took his cue to bet. Sexton snuck in the check-raise, and Taylor called the extra bet to see the river. Sexton bet all but his last 5,000 chips, and Taylor called.
Mr. Sexton announced, "Nut-nut," in that made-for-TV voice and we childishly giggled just a little bit. He turned up , and his wheel and six-high straight earn him the scoop and the double up to about 295,000.
Perry Green came in raising before the flop, and Viacheslav Zhukov and Michael Chow (big blind) both came along with calls.
The flop came , and Chow led out with the first bet. Perry raised, Zhukov cold-called, and Chow called the extra bet to see the turn. Chow checked, Perry bet all in for 27,000, Zhukov raised, and now Chow cold-called the 57,000 to see the river. Chow check-called one last bet from Zhukov.
Perry:
Zhukov:
Chow: --muck--
Perry and Zhukov chop it up, and that's good news for Perry. He's back close to 150,000, while Zhukov moves up over the half-million chip mark.
We joined a three-way pot as the dealer put out a flop. Brendan Taylor and George Lind checked, and Guillaume Rivet made the bet. Taylor check-raised, Lind cold-called, and Rivet called the extra bet to see the turn. Taylor led out with a bet, both opponents called, and the filled out the board. Lind folded to the Taylor bet this time, but Rivet called to see the showdown.
Taylor:
Rivet:
Rivet gets quartered as he can only take half of the low pot. Taylor's flush is good for the high half, and that and the extra quarter move him up to 645,000. Rivet is doing just fine -- he's still got about 1.05 million in front of him.
The action folded to Guillaume Rivet who raised from the small blind. Mack Lee defended his big blind, and the flop came down . Both players checked. The turn was the , Rivet led, and Lee called.
The river was the , and Rivet led once more. Lee paused momentarily before calling, prompting Rivet to show for a flopped wheel. Lee tossed his hand into the muck, and the pot was pushed to Rivet.
The very next hand, Rivet raised on the button, and was called by Lee and Mikael Thuritz in the blinds. All three players got three bets in on the flop, and after the turned, Thuritz bet once Lee checked. Rivet called, Lee mucked, and the river was the . Thuritz led, and Rivet called.
"You have aces?" Rivet asked, tabling for tens full of aces. Thuritz shook his head, "no," opened for just trip tens, and mucked the losing hand.
With those two pots, Rivet has propelled back into the chip lead with over a million to his name.
