Table 121 which we reported earlier was filled to the brim with top name pros was just broken up. We have to admit we enjoyed watching (and listening to) that table but it's players are now scattered throughout the rest of the field. C'est la vie.

Justin Bonomo raised preflop to 2,500 and McLean Karr was the only player to call. The flop came 
and Bonomo bet out 4,500 which Karr called. The turn was the 
and both players checked to see the 
on the river. Bonomo checked to Karr who bet 4,700. Bonomo made the call and Karr flipped over the 
which was good enough to take the pot as Bonomo mucked his hand.
After the hand Karr had around 160,000 and Bonomo was left with a little less than 90,000.
We gathered information for this hand from players at the table, so not too much exact information. But Burt Boutin lost with pocket kings to Brandon Adams' pocket aces in all in preflop action. Adams is up to about 150,000.
Cliff Josephy called a big reraise from Masa Kagawa preflop. The flop fell 
and both players checked. The turn came and Josephy took a while before sliding out twenty 1,000 chips, leaving mostly small denomination chips behind.
Kagawa leaned forward to see how much he had left behind, only about 13,000 or so. Kagawa thought for a while and then folded pocket queens face up. Josephy said, "Aww man, I suck," and turned over pocket aces. Josephy is around the 65,000 mark.
Level: 8
Blinds: 400/800
Ante: 0
Action folded to Phil Laak in the small blind who raised to 1,400. The player in the big blind called and they saw the flop come 
. Laak bet out 1,400, the big blind raised to 3,000, and Laak reraised to 6,700. The big blind called and the 
fell on the turn. Laak again bet out, this time for 6,500 and the big blind simply called. The river was the 
and Laak moved all in for his last 11,500. The other player called and Laak showed 
for a set of fours and the other player mucked.
After the hand Laak's stack was a healthier 47,000
A series of preflop raises saw Steve Gross all in for his last 19,500 with 
against the 
of Andrew Lichtenberger. Gross was a big favorite and managed to hold on as the board ran out 
.

A player in middle position limped into the pot and Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier raised to 1,700 from the hijack. The limper made the call and they saw the flop come 
. The other player checked and then snap called after ElkY bet 2,200. The turn brought the 
and the other player bet out 5,500 only to have Elky raise all in for around 15,000. The other player made the call and tabled his 
for a turned two pair which bested Elky's 
and sending him to the rail.
A series of preflop raises saw PokerStars Team Pro Russia member Maxim Lykov all in for around 25,000 against Vladimir Shchemelev, who barely had him covered.

Lykov was in great shape and looking to dodge an ace, but the 
flop was disastrous and left him drawing dead. The meaningless 
turn and 
river were run out for good measure as the Team Pro paid his massage therapist and made his way to the rail.
