Jeff Lisandro raised, then Ted Jivkov three-bet from the blinds and Lisandro called. Jivkov took three on the first draw and Lisandro just one, and Jivkov check-called a bet from Lisandro. Both then drew one card, and again Jivkov check-called a bet.
On the third draw, Jivkov drew one, Lisandro stood pat, and both checked. Jivkov showed a and Lisandro spread out to win the pot.
That one knocked Jivkov down under 3,000, but he'd doubled on the next hand versus Gavin Smith after drawing to a versus Smith's .
Steve Zolotow raised it up to 1,600 from the button, leaving just 600 behind. Konstantin Puchkov called from the big blind, then drew two cards, while Zolotow drew 1. Puchkov check called the final 600 of Zolotow, then drew two again, whole Zolotow stood pat. Puchkov was clearly not a fan of his new cards, as he debated for a while before tossing three cards towards the dealer. Zolotow stood pat again, and revealed , while Puchkov could only show . A was the first card he showed, and he was already drawing dead.
It was just a flesh wound for Puchkov, who is up to 45,000, while Zolotow got the much needed double up to 5,000.
Brian Brubaker — who happens to be celebrating a birthday today — raised from middle position and it folded around to Marco Johnson who called from the big blind.
Both drew two cards on the initial draw, and when Johnson bet out Brubaker called. Johnson then stood pat on the second draw while Brubaker took two cards. Johnson bet again, and this time Brubaker raised. Johnson paused just a moment before calling.
Both stood pat on the third draw. Johnson checked, Brubaker bet, and Johnson shook his head a little before calling.
Brubaker tabled a number two — — and Johnson mucked.
Timothy Finne was just all in before the first draw for his last 1,200 versus Mikey Stotz. Stotz drew two, one, then one, while Finne drew three, one, then stood pat.
Finne showed while Stotz tabled , then squeezed his last card — a pairing — and Finne survived albeit still with a short stack.
David "ODB" Baker has made it no secret on twitter how much he has struggled this summer, but he is hoping to salvage it with a deep run in this event, where he finished 3rd last year. In a recent hand, we saw Baker heads up with David Blatte, where Baker bet out after the second draw. Blatte called, then drew one card, while Baker stayed pat. Blatte check called another bet from Baker, and almost mucked his hand before Baker could even turn his hand over, .
After stacking up those chips, Baker is up to 78,000.
David Bach was just all in for his last 2,600 prior to the initial draw against Dany Georges.
Bach drew one card on each of the three draws, while Georges drew two, then stood pat thereafter. "I hope I'm not drawing dead," said Bach before the third draw, and Georges shook his head. "I don't think you are."
Georges then tabled , and when Bach turned over the table together added "now you are" to the assessment of Bach's prospects. The "Gunslinger" wished all a "good game" and headed off into the sunset.
Yesterday, Juijen Chang could do no wrong. He held the chip lead for the second half of the day, and was never in danger of losing that title. However, the exact opposite is the case today, as he has lost more then half his stack so far today. We just caught him taking a small pot off of Konstantin Puchkov when Chang's was good, but even with that pot, he only has 25,000 left, a far cry from the 66,000 he started the day with.
and Lisandro spread out 
to win the pot.
