We didn't see the hand but Vanessa Rousso kindly informed us that Eugene Katchalov busted when his 
ran into 
. Eugene bricked the flop, turn, and river, and now he's out the door.
Rousso is still looking pretty with a stack of around 37,000.

Kenny Hallaert just updated us on his tournament and he's doing really good. It could have gone the other way but Carlos Mortensen decided against pulling the trigger. Hallaert raised to 1,000 and Mortensen called, as did the player on the button.
The flop brought 
and Hallaert threw out 1,650. Mortensen called after which the button shoved for 5,100. Hallaert moved all-in over the top and the former WSOP Main Event champion folded.

The turn was the 
and the river the 
giving Hallaert the pot. Hallaert told us Mortensen told him he folded 
and considered moving all-in pre flop. Mortensen made the right move, but could have had a much bigger stack if he went in for the double up. Hallaert is cruising right now with almost twice the average stack.

David 'Doc' Sands was hovering around 6,000 chips when we last saw him, and his Tweet about 60,000 chips really had us wondering what happened to him. We ran into Sands on the break and he told us the following. After chipping up to 28,000 he got it in with 
against a player with 22,000 chips who was holding . Sands managed to win this massive flip and is now one of the biggest stacks in the room.

When we walked up to the table, Hellmuth was asking the dealer to count the antes, to make sure they were all there. "I'm sure you're right, but I just want to check," Hellmuth said. The dealer counted the antes, and sure enough, one was missing.
"I never miss anything," Hellmuth said.
The player who missed his ante, promptly put the ante in, and the action started. A player in early position limped in for 600. Action folded around to the button who raised to 2,200. Hellmuth called from the small blind, and the early position limper called too.
The flop rolled off 
.
Hellmuth promptly bet out 1,400. The limper folded. Then the button went all in for 5,925 total. This sent Hellmuth into the tank. Angrily he mulled over his options, and eventually showed his hand to Chad Brown before folding. Hellmuth still has a healthy stack with around 11,000 chips.

Nadya "KGB" Magnus, one of the Loose Cannons from PokerStars Big Game Season 1, has been quiet for most of the day, but when we found her, Nadya had amassed a nice little stack.
