Already sitting with the biggest chip count among our notables, Kevin Saul raised to 300 on the button and the small blind called. Both players checked the 
flop and the small blind led out for 500 on the 
turn. Saul made the call and the small blind checked to him when the 
landed on the river. Saul bet 1,000 and turned over 
when he received a call. Top pair was good to increase Saul’s lead as his opponent mucked.
We walked past Galen Hall's table just as he was being dealt a hand under-the-gun. Hall took a peak and quickly mucked his hand.
"C'mon!" Hall playfully quipped toward the dealer. "Booooo! Boooooo!"
The dealer cracked a grin and continued dealing.
Hall is back up to 34,000 and seemingly ready to put those chips to work. We will keep an eye on Hall to see if his apparent run of rags continues.
Jarred Solomon, who just recently sat down in the ten seat at the main feature table, opened, Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi three-bet to 700, and Solomon four-bet to 2,600. Grinder called.
The flop came down 
, Solomon put Mizrachi all in, and he called.
Solomon: 
Mizrachi: 
Mizrachi was in great shape, but the 
on the turn gave Solomon four outs to a chop.
"If a ten comes, it's not meant to be," Mizrachi joked for the ESPN cameras.
The river was not a ten, rather it was the 
, doubling Grinder to 18,300 chips.
On the 
flop, Andrew Moreno checked to Wooka Kim who bet. Moreno check-raised and Kim made the call as the 
came on the turn. Moreno led out this time and Kim called. On the 
river, Moreno bet again for 5,300 and Kim made the call only to be shown 
for a wheel, but better yet, the nut flush of Moreno and she mucked.

Mike McDonald is up to 35,000 after he fired all the way to eventually get his opponent to muck on the river of a 
board.
McDonald's opponent check-called bets of 600 on the flop and 1,400 on the turn but finally gave up when the Canadian bet a chunky looking 2,625 on the river.
On a flop reading 
, action checked around to Carlos Mortensen in middle position, who bet 300. Mortensen was called by a player in the cutoff and the small blind.
The 
fell on the turn and the player in the small blind checked to Mortensen, who bet again - this time for 900. The cutoff folded but the small blind came along.
When a 
completed the board, the small blind paused and threw a 1,050 bet into the middle. Mortensen quickly showed 
for two-pair and mucked his hand. In a friendly gesture, his opponent revealed the 
for a rivered flush - confirming Mortensen's good laydown.
Despite the hit, Mortensen is still sitting above the starting stack with 35,00.
From middle position, Patrik Antonius made it 350 and got calls from another middle position player and the big blind.
The flop came down 
the big blind checked, Antonius bet out 700, the middle position player raised to 2,200 and the big blind folded and Antonius called.
The turn came the and Antonius checked again. The middle position player bet out 4,100 this time and after some thought, Antonius just called.
The river came and again Antonius checked. This time his opponent bet out 10,200 and that was the last straw for Antonius who threw it away.
He is left with 22,000 which is still more than enough at this point in the tournament.
