AP Phahurat opened for a raise to 4,000 and Joe Stiers reraised. It was folded back to Phahurat who reraised enough to send Stiers all in. Stiers made the call for his last 24,600 in chips and the hands were turned over:
Phahurat: 
Stiers: 
The flop came 
and a disappointed Stiers stood up, thinking he was drawing dead as Phahurat had flopped a set of kings. Stiers still had a spade flush draw, and the turn was the 
. It was down to the river for Stiers's tournament life. He would land the flush and the double up when the 
was turned over. That pot moved Stiers up to over the 50,000 chip mark, while Phahurat has slipped some since hitting over 170,000 a while ago.

We see pocket kings and aces flying around a lot today, and usually those two starting hands get it in preflop. That was the case for Michael Wang, who faded 
with his 
on the 
board and doubled up for 31,600.
Thomas Pronold was on a bit of a roller coaster today already and he just bounced back to an above average stack after betting the pot for 40,000 on a 
river. Jerome Bradpiece was in the tank, but ultimately tossed his cards to the dealer.

We saw a player with one of the larger stacks in the room and pulled him to the side to ask him his name. He spelled it out for us and then whispered, "I won this event a few years ago." After making note of that, he put his finger to his mouth, nods his head in the direction of his table and said, "Shhhh, don't tell anyone."
We did confirm that Elie Payan from France, the aforementioned player, did indeed win this event in 2011, collecting $292,825. Sorry Mr. Payan, but your secret is not safe with us.

Erick Lindgren opened to 5,500 and got two callers before Alfredo Vega Meister made it 20,000 to go. Only Lindgren called to see the 
flop. Lindgren got the remainder of his stack in with 
and was looked up by 
for the nut flush draw and the double gutshot.
The 
turn locked up the hand for Lindgren and the meaningless 
river completed the board.

Taylor Paur got the last of his chips in preflop with 
and was up against one player who held 
. "Paul, come sweat," said Paur, talking to Paul Volpe who was on his rail.
The flop came 
to give his opponent a flush draw that would come on the turn. Only an ace or a six would keep Paur in, but the river was the and Paur's tournament was over.

The table with Fabrice Soulier seems to be a graveyard for new arriving players'; two more have recently hit the rail. Only Erick Lindgren was able to survive when being all in and at risk. Alfredo Vega Meister moved all in from early position for 7,700 and the player on the small blind repeated this action for what looked like 20,000.
In the big blind, Andreas Martens moved all in, having both opponents covered, and the three players turned over their cards.
Martens: 
Vega Meister:
Small blind: 
The board ran out 
and another two players hit the rail. Martens started as one of the shortest stacks and is now above average.

It was no huge pot since the final community card bricked but could have developed into a massive pot between Andrey Kirillov and Erick Lindgren. Kirillov bet 12,000 on the 
turn out of the small blind and Lindgren called. Both then checked the 
river and exposed their cards.
Lindgren:
Kirillov:
At the same table, Fabrice Soulier has added some more chips to his stack to increase the lead.
