Right before the break we caught the end of a big hand and noticed Chan was raking in plenty more chips. This is what the man had to say via Twitter.

Draheim Winning Chips

Roman Draheim opened the action from the cutoff and Benjamin Scholl three-bet from the button. Draheim made the call and a {2-Spades}{j-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flop was slid across the felt. Draheim check-called a bet on teh flop and then did the same on a {j-Clubs} turn. The {9-Clubs} river would see both players check and then Scholl muck when Draheim turned over {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}.

Shulman Takes More

Matt Keikoan opened it up from under the gun and Jeff Shulman three-bet from the cutoff. Keikoan made the call and a {5-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop was spread along the felt.

On the flop, Keikoan checked and Shulman bet. Keikoan went with the check-raise and Shulman quickly made it three bets. Keikoan called and a {2-Spades} turn was dealt. This time Keikoan would check and just call Shulman's bet as a {6-Spades} landed on the river. Another check from Keikoan and Shulman flicked out another bet. This time Keikoan opted to fold and Shulman took down the nice little pot.

Glantz Gaining

Matt Glantz has just taken down a handy little pot to add to his stack. When we arrived at the table there was a flop showing {4-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and around 10,000 in the pot, with Glantz and Dario Alioto involved in the hand.

Alioto proceeded to lead with a bet on every street as the dealer turned over a {j-Diamonds} and a {10-Spades}. In the end Glantz's {j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} for a flush was stronger than the {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs} of Alioto.
