River, One Time!

With the field now reduced to 82 players, we haven't been able to pick up on that many full boards, but we did pick up on two hands that went 80% of the way.

Earlier on table 368, our reporter picked up the action between Praz Bansi and Steven Burkholder on a flop of {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}{K-Clubs}, Bansi led out for 5,000 and Burkholder called, then Bansi checked his option on the turn of the {10-Clubs}, only to fold after Burkholder opened for 8,000.

Then on table 370, we saw Michael McDonald and Benjamin Pollak go heads-up to a flop that read {2-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. Pollak bet 13,400 and McDonald called from the button, but he then folded after Pollak potted all-in on the turn of the {8-Diamonds}.

Interesting sidenote: the lights of The Mothership (AKA the WSOP Main Stage in the Amazon Room) are not on at the moment. We're hoping that when they do turn them on, there's a massive sound-and-light show to it. And it has to be this track - one which you might recognize from a certain Stanley Kubrick sci-fi flick:
