Nacho Minus the Cheese
Jose "Nacho" Barbero three-bet nearly a third of his stack, and then took three minutes to fold when his opponent shoved on him.
Nacho faced an open to 225 that he treated with three-bet to 575. The action folded back to the aggressor who set the Argentine all-in. Nacho came came very close to calling but said, "Nice hand" and folded.

Seed Doubles Through Jones
We caught the action after the draw in a big pot between Huck Seed and Aaron Jones. For as far as we could tell Seed had checked to Jones who fired out a bet of 425. We arrived on the scene when Seed was already all in and Jones tanked for a bit before making the call.
Seed showed 
and Jones mucked his cards. Seed doubled up while Jones still has plenty of chips left.

Easy Game for Margets, Not so For Williams
Leo Margets seems to be having a stress-free day, for now.
An older gentleman in the cut-off raised to 300 and called a quarter of his stack in calling her three-bet to 850 from the button. He drew one and she stood pat, then he check snap-folded to her 1,100 bet.
David Williams must wish it was that easy. He was seen picking up his bags and leaving stage left.

Who Killed The Bear?
The answer to that would be Jim Collopy. He took all of Barry Greenstein's chips to rise to around 8,000.
John Juanda was seen leaving less than a minute later, and less than a minute after that arrived some chap called Phil Helmuth.
That's the poker player circle of life right there!

Dan O'Corona Triples Up
"You can write whatever you want, you're the reporter," is what Dan O'Brien just said to yours truly who wanted to create the new nick name 'Dan O'Corona'.
This was after we just witnessed O'Brien triple up through the two players on his left. O'Brien took one card, as did the player to his left. We didn't catch what the third player did, but O'Brien showed for the winning hand.
"This is how you play the game," Shaun Deeb said laughing. "Fold, fold, fold, triple up. Fold, fold, fold, triple up".
Dan O'Brien is having fun today, even though his stack is still small. The added up number of Coronas he's had so far probably outnumber the total count of his chips. That's always a sign of a good time!

Phish and the Fish
A short while after Dan O'Brien was eliminated from his table, Bryan Devonshire asked Shaun Deeb, "Do you like phish, as in the band?"
Deeb answered, "I may have told you this before, and this may shock you, but I don't like music!"
Devonshire responded, "I don't know what to day."
