Action folded all the way around to Dylan Hortin, who completed from the small blind. Adam Junglen checked his option from the big and the two saw a {8-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {K-Hearts} flop.

Hortin fired a 4,000 bet into the middle and Junglen made the call.

A {7-Diamonds} fell on the turn and Hortin opted to check, prompting a 10,300 bet from Junglen. Hortin let his hand go and Junglen offered him to pick one of his cards to see. Hortin pointed at one and Junglen flipped over an {8-Clubs} .

Junglen is up to 121,000 while Hortin slipped to a still very healthy 230,000.

Fabrice Soulier opened to 5,500 from middle position and directly behind him, John Racener pushed all in for his last 22,000. Action folded back around to Soulier, who made the call to put Racener at risk.

Racener: {K-Clubs} {Q-Spades}
Soulier, {A-Clubs} {9-Clubs}

The {2-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {10-Spades} board was no help to Racener and he was sent to the rail.

Soulier is sitting on a mountain of chips with 370,000.

We caught up just as Leroy Spires was getting all in preflop against Cyrille Theret.

Theret: {10-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}
Spires: {A-Spades} {J-Diamonds}

Spires was about even-money to double up, however, it wasn't meant to be as the board ran out {10-Spades} {6-Hearts} {8-Spades} {4-Spades} {9-Hearts} and Spires was sent to the rail as the unfortunate bubble boy.
