Marco Traniello is up to 36,000 chips after winning back-to-back hands.
The first saw him open from the hijack to 750 and only Ramzi Jelassi in the big blind called. The flop came down 

and both players checked. The turn was the
and again both players checked. The river saw the
make an appearance and when Jelassi checked, Traniello bet 1,350 and took down the pot.
The very next hand the action folded to Traniello and he raised to 750. This time only Eugene Katchalov called in the big blind. A flop reading 

was checked by both players but the
turn saw Katchalov bet 1,300 and Traniello call. The river brought the
into play and Katchalov bet again, this time 2,100 only to see Traniello raise very quickly to 5,900.
Katchalov went into the tank for over two minutes before he mucked his hand..
With about 23,000 chips in the middle, the board read 



between Mark Radoja and Will "The Thrill" Failla. Radoja fired 5,800 and Failla tanked for a bit before making the call. Radoja tabled the 
for a straight and Failla mucked his hand.
David Williams is sat in the lobby talking to Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi and Erik Cajelais so it is safe to say the man who was short-stacked is out of the Main Event.
World Series of Poker November Niner Sam Holden raised from the cutoff seat and was called by the player on the button. The flop came down 

and Holden bet 1,100. His opponent announced a raise and made it 3,000 to go. Holden gave it a little bit of thought, but then folded and relinquished the pot.
