Now that we're down to 117 players and 13 tables, the tournament staff has announced that all tables will now be using the automatic shufflers, which will no doubt give us even more hands per hour.
Someone at the table opened the pot with a raise to 54,000, and both Doc Sands and Benjamin Logan called from their respective small and big blinds, three-handed to the flop.
It came
, and Logan check-called a bet from the raiser while Sands ducked out. The
turn went check-check, and the river
saw the same action repeat.
At showdown, Logan could only show
for the Royal Flush. That's all. We can't even remember if the words "Royal Flush" are supposed to be capitalized or not, that's how infrequently we've seen it happen. It's the first of Logan's career, and it comes in the WSOP Main Event, boosting his stack up a bit to about 1.9 million.
On a flop of , Bryan Devonshire had Seth Davies all in and at risk.
Devonshire:
Davies:
Devonshire faded a diamond on the turn (), but it gave Davies outs to a chop. The
on the river was a brick however, and Davies hit the rail. Devonshire remains among the chip leaders, boasting a stack of 4.9 million chips.

[Removed:147] got the last 320,000 of his chips into the pot in bad shape. His
ran right into the
of big stack JP Kelly, and there would be no help on board. The
flop left him drawing dead, in fact, and the turn
and river
have sent him to the exit.

Table 338 just broke, its players scattering to find their assigned seats elsewhere in what is becoming an increasingly sparse Amazon Room. Erick Lindgren was quicker than most, rushing over to his new table and slipping into Seat 5 just in time to receive a hand and raise to 55,000 from under the gun.
A couple of players folded, then Aaron Ruppert arrived. He'd also been broken from Lindgren's same table, and as it turned out Lindgren had accidentally taken Ruppert's seat. Since there had been a couple of folds, the action stood, and after everyone else folded Lindgren took the small pot to move to 1.04 million.
"Push it there," said a grinning Lindgren to the dealer as he rose to move over to his assigned Seat 8.
Wai Cheng got his remaining chips in preflop holding against the
of David Barter.
The board ran out and Cheng was sent packing toward the rail.
