The Shark Goes NOM NOM!
It was folded around to the button who raised to 600 and Humberto Brenes called from the small blind. On the 
flop, Brenes check-called his opponent’s bet of 1,100. Both players checked the 
on the turn and and on the 
river, Brenes led for 2,000. The button made the call and Brenes revealed 
for tens up which was good when his opponent mucked. The hand gave Brenes one of the bigger stacks in the room.

Tables Breaking Quickly
Level 6
: 100/200, 25 ante
There are only a handful of tables left in the Yellow Section of the Pavilion Room, but tournament staff are breaking them quickly. We're hoping to have the field in only the White and Black sections after the dinner break.
One Bet, Five Folds
We caught up with the action five-way on a 
board where the player under the gun checked to Darya Hulyk who bet 1,700. All of the remaining players in the hand folded and Hulyk took down the pot just like that.

Battle of the Blinds
Level 6
: 100/200, 25 ante
Action folded all the way around to Phil Hellmuth in the small blind who called. The player in the big blind checked.
The flop ran out 
. Hellmuth checked and his opponent bet 300. Hellmuth made the call. The turn brought the 
and both players checked. The 
hit on the river and Hellmuth moved all in for his remaining 2,075. His opponent folded his cards into the muck.
Hellmuth now sits with around 4,000 in chips.
Poker Kat No Longer on the Prowl
We didn’t see all of the action but it appeared as though the player under the gun limped and Kathy Liebert raised to 700 on the button. The UTG player then re-reraised to an amount we didn't catch and Liebert made the call.
On the 
flop, it was checked to Liebert who bet 2,000. Her opponent slammed down a pile of chips that was enough to put her all in. Liebert made the call as the players turned up their hands.
UTG: 
Liebert: 
Liebert was in bad shape and would need one of the two remaining jacks in the deck to survive and double up. Unfortunately for her, it came the 
and 
and she was eliminated.

Level 6
: 100/200, 25 ante
Tom Dwan has returned to his seat in our event. We heard from our colleagues over in the Amazon Room that Dwan has busted from Event #47. Thus ending out Durrrr Stack Watch series. It was fun while it lasted.
