Joseph Cheong just cashed in his two add-on chips as he was down to the felt with his first bullet. Cheong got himself all in on the turn of a
board, and two other opponents continued on in side action.
At showdown, Player 1 showed
to get three quarters, Player 2 showed
for one quater, and Cheong mucked for zero quarters. He's got 10,000 chips left now.
Level: 4
Blinds: 100/200

The massage therapists, of which there are many, work hard throughout the summer. They tend to like the bigger buy-in events, such as our tournament, because many of the pros are big-time spenders when it comes to getting a lengthy rub down.
We did a quick look around the room and noticed three pros enjoying the services of the massage therapists: John Racener, Richard Ashby, and David "Devilfish" Ulliott.
Tom Schneider was all in preflop for 3,400 (one rebuy chip behind) and was up against the cutoff, who was all in for less, and the button.
Schneider: 



Button: 



Cutoff: 



All three players held quality hands, but it was the cutoff who hit the 

flop. The
turn and
river meant the cutoff tripled while Schneider took down the small side pot worth 1,450.

Ylon Schwartz raised to 400 under the gun and found three callers, a player in middle position and the two blinds. Action checked to Schwartz on the 

flop and he continuation bet 800. It was enough to clear the field as one by one his opponents folded.
It wasn't an overly exciting hand, but it gave us the opportunity to report on Mr. Schwartz.

Noah Boeken raised to 500 from the hijack seat, and Scott Clements flatted on the button. The blinds both called, too, and it was four-handed to the
flop. It checked around, and Boeken put out the first bet of 1,500 on the
turn. He found just one call this time as the big blind came along to the
river. Check-check again.
The big blind showed
, and it was good for the scoop, knocking Boeken back a bit to 27,000 -- still just fine.
A player in middle position opened to 700, and Brett Richey called from the small blind to go heads up. The flop came
, and the raiser continued out with a pot-sized bet of 1,600. Richey promptly check-raised the pot, making it 6,400, and his opponent tanked and folded, showing
. Richey flashed
, too, the same hand but better. Because it dragged the chips.
Richey has 17,500 now.
Max Pescatori raised from early position only to have James Bord three-bet to 2,400. A player in middle position then moved all in for 6,050, Pescatori moved all in, and the pressure was back on Bord. He was clearly unhappy with the turn of events and threw down his hand in frustration.
Pescatori: 



Opponent: 



The 

flop was kind to Pescatori as it delivered him a set; however, the
turn gave his opponent a low and meant it was going to be a chopped pot, barring a deuce on the river. It ended up coming the
and the two players chopped up some of Bord's chips.
