Buchman Beaten Down
Eric Buchman has been a main stay at the top of the chip counts all day, but he has just lost a big pot that was the latest part of a recent slide for him since the dinner break. We caught the action on the flop, which read 
. Buchman was up against a lone opponent who was in the big blind, and he bet out after being checked to. His opponent check raised, and Buchman called.
The turn was the 
, and his opponent bet again. Buchman didn't slow down though, and he put in a second bet. He was called, and the dealer peeled the 
off on the river. Buchman's opponent led out one more time, and Buchman went deep into the tank. Eventually, he laid his hand down, dropping him all the way down to 32,000.

Humberto Hanging Around
Humberto Brenes has been hovering around average to below average for most of the day, and he's still alive in this tournament as we speak. We just caught a hand that gave him a much needed chip boost. Alex Freiberg limped in from under the gun, and Brenes raised in late position. It folded back to Freiberg, and he made the call. The flop came down 
, and Freiberg check called a bet from Brenes. The same occured on the turn, the , leaving Brenes with just 6,000 behind. The river brought the 
, and both players checked. Frieberg showed 
for third pair, and Brenes showed 
for second pair.
Brenes is up to 40,000 after the hand, while Frieberg drops to 74,000.
