On a {5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} flop, Julien Martini checked to Brian Hastings who bet pot. Martini re-raised pot and Hastings was all in for around 200,000.

Julien Martini: {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}
Brian Hastings: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}

"I thought I had ace-five," said Martini who would need to improve to eliminate Hastings. The turn was the {9-Hearts} but the river {6-Spades} improved him to two pair and Hastings was eliminated.

Quan Zhou doubled through Adi Abugazal when his {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} hit a superior full house versus {a-Hearts}{7-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts} on a board of {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}. However, the Chinese High Roller would not make it to the dinner break as he was eliminated soon after by Dominykas Karmazinas.

One table over, Iaroslav Boiko ended up second-best to Erik Seidel and the next all in clash took place between Ben Lamb and Dylan Weisman. Lamb's cards were in the muck already and Weisman had the best hand in {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{10-Spades} on a board of {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades}.

Mike Krasienko had already been missing and he was joined on the rail by Bryce Yockey and Scott Baumstein.

Yockey was first to fall when John Racener opened to 20,000 on the cutoff and Wasim Korkis called on the button. Yockey three-bet to 85,000 in the small blind with around 100,000 behind and Racener called, Korkis folded.

On the {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop, Yockey jammed and Racener called.

Bryce Yockey: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Clubs}
John Racener: {j-Clubs}{9-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Spades}

The {a-Diamonds} turn improved Yockey to a pair of aces, but Racener made trips on the {8-Hearts} river.

Shortly after, the flop showed {k-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades} and Baumstein was all in with the {a-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Spades} for the straight and flush draw. Korkis called with {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for middle set. The {q-Hearts} turn and {3-Diamonds} river run out failed to improve Baumstein and he also headed to the rail.

"You're counting out way too much," said Ben Lamb who had just doubled through Luis Velador.

"I'm dizzy!" said Velador in response who had held {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}{j-Hearts}{9-Spades} against Lamb's {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}

"I thought I was drawing dead after the window card," said Lamb with the board reading {5-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} with him turning two pair to double up.

Clock Called on Sammartino

Level 16 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

The board read {10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs} and John Riordan bet 150,000 into a pot of around 200,000. Action was on Dario Sammartino who had steadily been chipping up all day.

Eventually Riordan called the clock on the Italian who looked on nonplussed as he was counted down and the clock hit zero and his hand was dead.

Riordan is now closing in on a million chips with 92 players remaining according to the tournament clock.

High Rollers are usually eerily quiet and serious places, but every so often they are punctuated by the laughter and frivolity of a select few players. Everyone's seen the way the ice-cold atmosphere at the tables can melt if, for example, a character like Jean-Robert Bellande .

Well the $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller has one in the shape of Dominykas Karmazinas who has been regaling his table with stories and jovial conversation.

One such story concerned a poker player who had an unfortunate incident with some chips whilst in the bathroom.

"He had two $1,000 chips fall into the toilet while he was on it," said Karmazinas. "And $15,000 slide under the other cabin next door.

"He had to decide what to do, because if he stood up then the $2,000 got flushed because it flushes automatically. But someone might come into the next door and take his money."

The table, including Sean Winter, listened intently to the culmination of the story. Apparently, the player in question had reached into the toilet bowl to retrieve his chips before grabbing his chips from next door.

"He was washing his hands for 30 minutes!" said Karmazinas.
