With the board reading 
and roughly 22,000 already in the pot, Martin Kabrhel's opponent checked and Kabrhel pushed out a bet of 9,000. His opponent almost instantly shot out a raise, making it 21,000 to go. Kabrhel slowly counted out chips and made the call.
The river brought 
and Kabrhel's opponent bet 20,000. Kabrhel made the call and his opponent flipped up 
.
Kabrhel tabled 
for a set of deuces and his opponent threw his cards at the muck. Kabrhel is now sitting with around 140,000.

Phil Hellmuth had fired out 2,800 on a 
flop before his opponent declared, "Sorry, I'm all in."
"No need to apologise," replied Hellmuth.
"I'll show you," continued the big blind, "so you don't go ballistic on me..."
Hellmuth folded and said, "You've probably got something like ace-queen with the ace of spades..."
Indeed the big blind showed him 
.
Sorrel Mizzi opened to 2,000 from under the gun, Greg Vogelsong called on his direct left, Daniel Negreanu called in middle position, and Russell Carson three-bet to 6,700 from the small blind. Only Vogelsong called.
Both players checked the 
flop, and after the 
turned, Carson led for 9,200. Vogelsong instantly put him all in, and Carson quickly called.
Carson: 
Vogelsong: 
Carson was well ahead, but the 
spiked on the river, giving Vogelsong a straight, and eliminating Carson from the tournament. He b-lined for the exit, looking none too happy, while Vogelsong pulled in a pot to push his stack over 180,000 chips.
A player in early position opened for 1,800 and was called by a player in middle position. Action folded around to Andrew Robl in the big blind, who announced a raise and then tossed in 10,000. The original raiser quickly four-bet, prompting a fold out of the middle-position player. Before we could catch the exact amount of the four-bet, Robl announced he was all in. His opponent called (having Robl covered) and the two were off to the races.
Robl:
Opponent: 
The 
board was no help to Robl and he quickly made his exit.
Level 8
: 400/800, 100 ante
From middle position, Jason Mercier raised to 1,600. Action folded to the player on the button and he three-bet to 3,800. Christina Lindley called from the small blind and then play folded back to Mercier. He also called.
The flop came down 
and Lindley led out with a bet of 6,000. Mercier flatted and the player on the button gave it up after a long minute in the tank.
The turn brought the 
and Lindley checked first. Mercier tapped the table with a check behind to see the fall on the river. Lindley checked and Mercier reached for chips after pausing for a little. He fired a bet of 15,500. With the ESPN cameras recording the action, Lindley slid her hand into the muck and Mercier won the chips.
Level 8
: 400/800, 100 ante
Although we haven't been able to confirm it, we overheard talk on Humberto Brenes' table that "The Shark" is going to be taking all of his tablemates to a steak dinner during the 90-minute break that will be occurring soon. We think it would have been funnier if he was taking them all out for seafood, but steak seems like a classier option. I suppose that's a good strategy on Brenes' part. If they are all late coming back from the dinner break, no one else will be there to steal his blinds.
Gavin Smith's World Series of Poker is over, he was all in from the small blind with 
for 22,700 but ran into another player's and bricked on the board.
Level 8
: 400/800, 100 ante
Flop: 
The pot was raised preflop, and after a series of bets and raises on the flop, Fred Goldberg was all in and at risk against Sorel Mizzi.
Goldberg: 
Mizzi: 
Mizzi needed a queen or a nine to fill up, or a running king and ten to chop, but found no help on the turn (
) or the river (). Goldberg doubled to nearly 40,000 chips, while Mizzi slipped to about 83,000.
After starting the day as one of our chip leaders Shane Sigsbee's stack has been heading in the wrong direction.
With around 60,000 chips in the pot already and the board reading 
Sigsbee bet out 37,500. The player in the cutoff called and the hands were revealed.
Sigsbee:
Cutoff: 
The cutoff made a great call and his sevens were good enough to scoop the pot. After the hand Sigsbee was left with115,000. Less than he started with, but still well above the average stack at this point.
