Jude Ainsworth raised to 425 from the cutoff and the player in the small blind three-bet to 1,350. Ainsworth fired back with a four-bet to 4,125, and his opponent clicked it back with a five-bet to 7,475. He had Ainsworth's stack covered.
After asking for a count of the other player's stack, Ainsworth let his hand go. He's still working with around 22,000, so it's been a good level for the Irish poker pro.

The board read 
when Elliot Smith bet 4,400. European Poker Tour Berlin winner Kevin MacPhee tanked for a bit, and called.
Smith turned over 
, for the stone-cold nuts and raked in the pot. MacPhee is almost down to half the starting stack, but the structure is nice and slow giving him plenty of time to recover.

With more than 20,000 chips already in the pot preflop, 2011 WSOP bracelet winner Sean Getzwiller moved all in for 15,500 on a flop of 
. The player facing the all-in bet studied Getzwiller about a minute before making the call and finding out the bad news.
Getzwiller: 
Opponent: 
Getzwiller needed to fade two outs, and he did so successfully when the 
hit the turn followed by the 
on the river.
"The stare didn't matter," Getzwiller told the other player after the hand." It was just a cooler."

Yesterday during the Big One for One Drop was saw many players bust out, but painful as it is there's always another tournament to play here at the World Series of Poker.
The buy in of the $10,000 Six-Handed tournament is just 1% of the one tournament these guys played yesterday, but they all seem just as focussed. Jason Mericer and Phil Ivey are doing good early on, while Bob Bright and Brandon Steven already lost some chips.

Any short-handed tournament creates tons of crazy action, and this one is no different. We just saw PCA winner Harrison Gimbel pull off a seven-bet shove against WSOPE bracelet winner Tristan Wade. And that didn't work out for him.
Wade raised under the gun to 400 and both the button and the small blind called. Gimbel was in the big blind and he raised to 2,275 after which Wade four-bet to 4,850. The two other players folded and the action was back on Gimbel.
Gimbel wasn't giving up as he put in the fifth raise to 7,850. Wade was also not giving up as he six-bet to 12,850. The hand wasn't over, because Gimbel moved all in and Wade snap-called as he turned his hand over.

| Harrison Gimbel |   |
The board ran out 
, and Wade could breath a sigh of relief as he just doubled up in this 400 big blind pot. Gimbel was just with just 1,000 chips and on the very next hand he lost those to Wade as well.

Also in today's field are Terrence Chan and Joe Tehan, both with nine cashes in this year's WSOP. We'll be keeping an eye on all three player throughout the day as the chase for history continues.
