After a series of preflop raises, four players saw a flop of . Terrence Chan and Andre Akkari checked to the player in Seat 4, who bet. Action folded back to Chan, who raised, and only Seat 4 called. Chan then fired on the turn and river, and his opponent called both bets.
"I think I may have got there," Chan said as he tabled for trip sixes. He was right; the other player looked disgusted as he tossed his face up into the muck. Chan is now sitting on 68,000.
Michael Reed opened, Brad Libson three-bet from the blinds, and Reed called. The flop came and Libson bet quickly. Reed called without hesitation as well. The turn was the , and Libson didn't wait before betting again. This time Reed paused a few beats, then raised. Libson once more acted in a rapid manner by three-betting, and Reed called.
The river was the , bringing a fourth heart and a check from Libson. Reed bet, Libson exhaled and called, and Reed showed for the nut flush. Noting how "sick" the hand was, Libson raised his cards up before mucking, enough to show he held a small pair — either fours or fives — and thus had a set.
Benjamin Lazer will be hoping to go just one place further than he did in Event #22: $2,500 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball. That was the day Lazer lost heads-up to Randy Ohel with the World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet at stake. The runner-up spot earned Lazer $89,714, which dwarfed his one and only other cash of $1,635. He has just eliminated Joe Dressner in an encounter than began, and ended, pre flop.

So a full-house for Lazer and a dazzled Dressner leaves the competition.
Jacob Petersen just won a nice pot against former chip leader Michael Senter and could very well sitting in the new pole position.
The two players saw a flop of and Senter check-called a bet from Petersen. On the turn, Senter checked again, but this time he put in a raise after Petersen bet. Petersen fired back with three bets and Senter called. The fell on the river and Senter slowed down with a check-call, only to see Petersen reveal for top set. Petersen now has 90,000, and Senter slipped to 89,000.
Scott Seiver is recognised amongst his peers as one of the most talented poker players in today's game. The World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner has Dan Shak seated to his immediate left and fresh air seated to his immediate right. The fresh air is residing in a space once occupied by Ray Sumon, but Seiver decided he needed a little more elbow room.
Sumon was extremely short when he put his life savings into the middle from the small blind and Seiver duly called in the big. Seiver tabled and Sumon was ahead, holding . Two pair on a flop of put Seiver ahead, and his victory was confirmed on the turn when the filled him up. The lacklustre looking finished off the board and Sumon took his absence of leave.
One of our most recent World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winners, Joe Cassidy, has just exited stage left. The man who now has his chips is Ronnie "The Bard" Bardah.
We didn't see the action, but Bardah was kind enough to tell us that a very short Cassidy raised in first position holding and Bardah put him all-in holding . The flop of reversing the way things should have been, and after bricking both the turn and river, Cassidy was out.
Players are back in their seats for two more one-hour levels until the dinner break arrives. With 42 remaining, we may well be talking about that cash bubble bursting between now and then as the top 36 finishers get paid.
