Let's Go, Freddie!
![[user66118]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Freddie Ellis has wrestled the chip lead away from Bryn Kenney.
Ellis: (x-x) / 
/ (x)
Kenney: (x-x) / 
/ (x)
Ellis was the completer on third street, and Kenney made a raise. Ellis raised it right back, and Kenney flatted to proceed. Ellis got bets in on the next three streets with Kenney calling the first two bullets. The sixth-street bet was too much, though, and Kenney check-folded.

Smith Falls Short of a Comeback
A short-stacked Roger Smith was all in from the get go with pocket aces and out in front of Lee Goldman's pocket queens. Unfortunately for Smith, his opponent would spike two pair on seventh and his day came up short in 20th place, just four spots shy of the money.

All Out of Nachos
We caught the action on sixth street when Eugene Katchalov bet and Nacho Barbero raised all in. Katchalov made the call and was out in front with a pair of kings.
Barbero: 
/ 
(X) / 
Katchalov: 
/ 
/ 
Barbero was unable to improve upon his pair of tens and he finished in 19th place.

Friedman, Violette Switch Places
There was a big pot in the middle of the table when our attention turned to the corner table and a heads-up pot between Cyndy Violette and Perry Friedman.
Violette: (x-x) / 
/ (x)
Friedman: (x-x) / / (x)
The only action we caught was the river action where Friedman bet and Violette tanked for ages before making the call.
Friedman turned up 
to make trip fives, and Violette scowled and mucked. She and Friedman have essentially traded places on the score board.

Chen Crippled
Oh no, Mr. Bill Chen!
Bill Chen just played a pot for all but a few of his chips against Max Pescatori.
Chen: (x-x) / 
/ (x)
Pescatori: (x-x) / / (x)
There was a bet and a call when we walked up on fifth street, and Pescatori asked Chen how much he had left. It wasn't much, just 14,500. Still, Pescatori checked on sixth, and Chen seemed pleased to see a free card. On seventh, Pescatori made his last bet, and Chen resigned himself to the call.
"Two pair," Pescatori said quickly.
"Good," Chen answered back even quicker. Pescatori rolled over 
/ , and fours and deuces get the job done.
Chen has just 4,500 chips left.
