Gregg tabled 
for nines full of tens, Selbst mucked and Gregg collected the pot.
Michael Mizrachi and Phil Ivey were heads up on a completed board of 
with around 100,000 in the pot. Mizrachi fired out a half-pot bet, Ivey called and Mizrachi rapped the table, signifying a bluff.
Ivey tabled 
and raked in the pot.
A few hands later, Mizrachi raised to 8,500 in the hijack, Richard Anthony called on the button, John Juanda called out of the small blind and Barry Hutter defended his big blind.
The dealer fanned 
, Juanda and Hutter both checked, and Mizrachi made a continuation-bet of 20,500. Anthony folded, Juanda followed suit and Hutter check-raised to what looked like 55,000 or so. Mizrachi moved all in for 180,000, Hutter snap-called and the hands were tabled.

We didn't see the hand unfold, but we do know that Keven Stammen got the last of his chips all in on the river with a board reading 
. Stammen had rivered a flush with the 
, but it was no good as Brian Rast held the nut flush with the 
.
Two-time WSOP bracelet winner Vanessa Selbst raised to 9,000 on the button, Dan "jungleman12" Cates three-bet to 27,000 from the small blind and Selbst called.
The dealer fanned 
, Cates check-called a bet of 19,500 and the turn was the . Cates checked again, Selbst fired a second bullet worth 33,500 and Cates called.
The 
completed the board and Cates checked a third and final time.
"All in," Selbst announced, making it around 88,000 to go.
Cates went into the tank, muttering hand possibilities and sat back in his chair. Nearly six minutes elapsed before he finally dropped a handful of pink T5,000 chips into the pot - signifying a call - and Selbst turned over for a pair of kings.
Cates sprang from his chair.
"Honestly, I thought you had some bull**** like that," he yelled across the table, splashing the rest of his stack forward. "Great f***ing bluff!"
The online wiz kid stormed off and a few players at the table started to laugh.
"You ravage," Keven Stammen, who heard the tirade, told Selbst in passing.
"I expected a lot worse," Selbst admitted, grinning as she stacked her newly acquired chips.
Jason Mercier was recently eliminated from the tournament. While we didn't see his final hand, we have learned that he got his chips all in preflop holding 
against the 
of Everest Team Pro Trickett. The small pocket pair ended up improving, and that was all she wrote for Mercier, who will be playing the $10,000 2-7 triple draw event tomorrow.
Jason Mo opened for 9,500 under the gun and was met by a three-bet to 23,000 from Noah Schwartz in the hijack. Jeff Gross then four-bet all in for 94,500 from the button, the blinds folded and Mo got out of the way. Schwartz made a quick call and Gross discovered the bad news.
Gross:
Schwartz:
"J for Jeff," Gross joked. The dealer put out the flop - 
.
"It's gonna be tough," Gross deadpanned. The dealer then burned and turned the 
to give Schwartz quads. "A little overkill," Gross added.
The 
was put out on the river for good measure and Gross said his final words: "Nice hand, Schwartzy."
"You learn a lot about someone when you get drunk with them," said Phil Ivey to those at Table 355.
"Asians make you get drunk with them before doing business," he elaborated, perhaps referencing the time he's spent in Macau.
The rest of the table jumped on the topic of drinking, with everyone offering their take. Of course Ivey had the last say.
"Their true colors come out," he said. For the record, no one at the table is drinking alcohol, so it's unknown how the topic came about.
