Gates commented on how the board was going to run which was bringing kings or aces. The flop did not bring an ace or king but instead a monster chance for Gates's opponent. The flop came 
. Gates was still holding onto his cards but praying a club was not to come. The turn paired the jack with the

Govert Metaal just told us that he has been quite lucky today. He cracked aces with his pocket tens, and hit a two outer on the river with jacks versus kings early on.
Kevin MacPhee was also pretty lucky, but his luck came in the form of strong starting hands. He got kings back to back, and got kings again a bit later and flopped top set versus middle set on 
with two diamonds. Another opponent in the hand folded 
which would have gotten there. MacPhee isn't complaining, that's for sure.
Matt Stout, across from MacPhee, has a good stack in front of him as well. "I had to work for my stack bro" he laughed. "I had to shove the river as a bluff against an old guy." That hard work paid off for Stout who plays about 27,000.

For some reason one of the rail birds here in Brasilia is walking around shouting "Let's go Canada!" He seems intoxicated but that could also just be the Canadian way of being cheerful. Most players find it amusing and he's still at it right now. Is he referring to the fact that lot's of bracelets have been awarded to Canadian players this summer? Who knows!

Manig Loeser was in the small blind when the hand started. An opponent from early position made a raise to 475. The cutoff called. Loeser wanted to bump up the action and made it 1,575 from the small blind. the initial raiser folded but the cutoff called.
The flop came 
. Loeser bet out 1,625. His opponent made the call and the two took a turn of the 
. Loeser then moved all in. His opponent instantly called and flipped over 
for a flopped set. Loeser had the ladies 
and had one foot out the door. He would need a third lady on the river to stay alive.
The river was the 
and that ended the day for Loeser as his opponent's flopped set got Loeser's stack.
