Jerald Burkin found himself in the perfect scenario for his pocket aces over on Table #10.
A player opened to 325 and Burkin, next to act, three-bet to 825. The now busted player in the cutoff, who declined to give his name, four-bet all in to 1,125 and only Burkin called.
Burkin: 
Busted Player: 
"I like your shove," said Greg Raymer to the man with pocket nines, but it was scant consolation as the board ran out 
to keep Burkin's aces in front and leave Table #10 short of a player.

All of the tables in the Pavillion Room have broken and the entire tournament is now is housed in the Brasilia Room. Here are few more players we spotted on our last pass through:

We came up on a three-player all in involving Carlos Mortensen (
}, Samuel Spiwak () and another player (
). Spiwak hit a miracle when the 
flop came and the 
turn and river did not change the outcome and Mortensen has been eliminated. Spiwak mentioned he was down to 125 chips after another player hit their set of threes against his jacks just a few hands ago. It looks like he is working his way back.

Neil Channing opened to 300 from the cutoff seat and Brian Brunner defended his big blind with a call. Both players checked the 
flop but Brunner led out for 400 when the 
fell on the turn.
Brunner bet again, this time 600, when the dealer put the onto the river and it was enough to get the job done because Channing released his hand into the muck.

In a field of over 2,000 runners the odds of being seated on the same table as some established players are pretty slim. Try telling that to this trio of talented individuals who are having to battle against each other right now.
WPT Player of the Year Matt Salsberg is having to lock horns with WSOP Europe bracelet winner Tristan Wade and Max Silver among others, which we are sure he will not be too thrilled about.
