Hua's a Giver and a Taker
Can Kim Hua took anther pot off Bryan Jolly and then gave them straight to Michael "Boonie" Kleist.
He called Jolly all the way down a 
board and then raised the river. Jolly wasn't happy but made the call to be shown 
for a straight. His 
was only good for a quarter of the pot.
Then Hua raised and was called by Boonie and one other player. Post flop Boonie took over the initiative and led all the way down the 
board. Hua was the only caller and he mucked when Boonie showed him 
for the nut flush

Bryan Jolly Eliminated in 9th Place ($18,837)
Can Kim Hua had the best of Bryan Jolly all day and he just busted him in 9th place. First Jolly limped for 30,000 and Hua called from the button. Tapscott folded his small blind after which Butler checked his option in the big.
The flop came down 
and Butler checked to Jolly who bet 30,000 and both his opponents called. The turn was the 
and both Butler and Jolly checked. Hua bet 60,000 and Butler went in the tank. After a good minute he folded and as soon as Jolly released his hand Butler said, "I made a big lay down. I had queen-nine of spades". Jolly was left behind with very little chips and a few hands later those went into the middle.
On a 
flop Jolly bet 30,000 with 10,000 left behind, and Hua put him all in. Jolly made the call and showed 
for a pair of aces and a back door flush draw. Hua turned over 
for a pair of kings, the nut flush draw and a straight draw. The turn was the completing Hua's flush and the river was the 
. That's was it for Jolly who got to take $18,837 home for his efforts.

Chopping it Up!
Level 26
: 15,000/30,000, 0 ante
We are seeing a lot of chopped pots as of late and the short stacks are surviving. Both Thayer Rasmussen and Herbert Tapscott survived their all-ins and we are still with eight players. We will be on a one hour dinner break in 17 minutes.
A Pot, and It's Not a Chop!
I was beginning to think this game was all about chopped pots as no one could win one outright, until now that is.
Thayer Rasmussen was all-in for his remaining 55,000 and was called by Gavin Griffin, and Can Kim Hua. Griffin and Hua were both happy to check the 
board all the way down.
Rasmussen: 
for two-pair and the pot.
Griffin: .
Hua:
