With around 28,000 in the pot and a board reading 
, McLean Karr bet 16,700 and was called by Eric Baldwin, who left himself just 22,900 behind. When the 
peeled off on the river, Karr thought for a moment before making a bet large enough to put his opponent all in.
Baldwin snap-called and showed 
, which was good against the 
of Karr. Interestingly, the black pocket nines is the same hand Phil Hellmuth used to win the 1989 WSOP Main Event; coincidentally, both Baldwin and Hellmuth are from Wisconsin. If you're looking for useless, yet fun, trivia, there you have it!
We've been talking about Table #295 all day and how tough it is with its stacked lineup. In a recent hand, Steve Billirakis raised to 3,600 under the gun and was met with a reraise to 9,800 by Darryll Fish in the small blind. Billirakis responded by making it 17,600, Fish moved all in for 45,900, and Billirakis made the call.
Billirakis: 
Fish: 
Fish was the one at risk, but he was in a dominating position as long as he could dodge a ten. As fate would have it, that is exactly what he did as the board ran out 
.
Isaac Haxton opened from middle position for 3,200 only to have Daniel Negreanu reraise to 11,600 from the button. Noah Schwartz then four-bet to 40,800, Haxton folded, and Negreanu called all in for 20,000.
Negreanu: 
Schwartz: 
As one might expect, it was another race situation. Luckily for Negreanu, the board ran out 
and his eights held for the double.
Paul Foltyn raised to 3,600 under the gun only to have Kyle Julius reraise all in for around 12,800. Action folded back to Foltyn and he made the call.
Foltyn:
Julius: 
It was a classic race situation with Julius' tournament life on the line. The 
flop was kind to the at-risk player, as was the turn and river. Julius got a much-needed double, though he is still pretty short.
Matthew Wood raised to 3,500 from early position and received a call from David "Bakes" Baker on the button. It was heads up to the 
flop, at which point Wood led out for 4,000. Again Baker called and both players proceeded to check the turn.
Wood returned to his aggressiveness after the 
peeled off on the river by throwing out a bet of 12,000. Baker made the call but mucked as soon as Wood turned over 
for a ace-high flush.

Just before the break, Jarred Solomon raised to 2,600 prelop and received four callers all the way to Team PokerStars Pro (Canada) Pat Pezzin in the big blind. He decided to squeeze with a raise to 13,000 and it almost worked as the field folded one by one to Michael Stonehill, who moved all in for 23,500. Pezzin made the call and the cards were turned up:
Pezzin: 
Stonehill: 
Pezzin was in a dominating position and remained there as the board ran out an uneventful 
.
