The flop brought and the big blind checked, prompting a 600 c-bet from the original raiser. The cutoff called but "Bond18" squeezed to 1200 on the button. The original raiser folded out of turn, after which the big blind overcalled and the cutoff folded, sending two players to the turn.
The turn came and the big blind checked. Dunst bet 4,300 and the big blind player wasted little time going all in for 11,450. Dunst made the call with and found himself in bad shape against the big blind player's for a flopped set.
The river came an innocuous , doubling the big blind up and leaving Dunst sitting just under 10,000.
Reigning Champion of this very event has finally been spotted in today's field.
Jason DeWitt has taken his seat in the secondary area of the tournament floor and has Kevin Saul seated to his direct right. DeWitt's table however will be one of the first to break, so Saul won't bother him for too long.
Maria Ho opened the action from the hi-jack to 250 and found a caller in the big blind to see a flop fall.

As we mentioned in our original opening post, today was a true test on how Black Friday would affect the preliminary events of this year's WSOP.
With a few more players committing $5,000 to the prizepool, today's number now sits at 805 entrants; an increase from the 792 of last year.
Although Jason DeWitt pocketed a handy $818,959 in prizemoney, it is unlikely that this year's Event #4 winner will take home substantially more, but an $850,000 first prize is not out of the question as registration is still open for a further two hours!
