Action folded to Barry Greenstein on the button who decided to raise. The small blind then re-raised, the big blind folded, and Greenstein called.
The flop came 
and the small blind bet out only to have Greenstein put out a raise. The small blind called and the 
came on the turn. The small blind opted to check-call a bet from Greenstein and they saw the 
hit on the river. Both players checked and the small blind flipped over his 
but found his hand was second best to Greenstein's 
for a pair of fours.

Preflop, a player in middle position raised it up, the cutoff re-raised, John Phan in the small blind re-raised, the player in the big blind re-raised again and everyone called (the cutoff player was all in for around 1,300).
The flop came 
, Phan checked, the big blind bet, the player in middle position raised, and Phan took a second to think and and shake his head before finally folding. The big blind called and the turn came with both players checking.
The river came 
and the big blind bet with the middle position player calling.
The big blind showed the middle position player showed and the all in player in the cutoff showed . Phan then finally let out an expletive and said, "I knew one of you guys had something like that, I folded on the flop."
Obviously, Phan would've turned a set of queens and taken down the huge pot, but he is still very healthy with over 10,000.

Jon Aguiar has been playing three handed now since the last break, when we last caught up with him we found him putting out a bet on the button preflop and receiving a call from the big blind. The dealer put out a 
flop where the big blind check raised Aguiar, who instantly made the call.
A 
turn lead to the big blind taking control of the hand and putting out a bet, Aguiar called. A on the river lead to a repeat of action as again the big blind bet and Aguiar called. The big blind announced "queen high", but failed to show his cards, while Aguiar flipped over 
for a full house sixes over fives. Aguiar has a nice chip lead over the two other players at his table, but it is not going to be easy as one of his opponents is none other than Randy Lew.

A total of 538 players entered this tournament but a good portion of the field has already busted. Many tables are already playing four or five handed and a few are down to three players remaining.
We'll have prizepool and payout information for you as soon as it is made available to us!
Sarah chatted with Joe Tehan at the first break.
Victor Ramdin is still five-handed with his table, but that doesn't seem to matter the way Victor Ramdin is playing. While he still has four opponents he needs to knock out Ramdin looks to be in great shape to pull this table out. Ramdin has almost four times as many chips as the player closest to him.
We found him make a small stumble on his way to victory though. Action had folded around to Ramdin on the button and he put out a bet. The short stack in the small blind then two bet and Ramdin called. A 
flop was sent out and Ramdin put his opponent all in with a bet. His opponent called and cards were tabled.
Ramdin: 
Opponent: 
We saw a 
hit on the turn and a 
spike the river, neither of which helped Ramdin out. The short stack doubled up, but is still going to need a lot of help to take down Ramin's huge stack.
