In one of the last hands before the break, with 4,200 in the pot and a flop of 

, J.C. tran bet 2,000 only to have Fowzi Baroukh raised to 5,000 on the button. Tran made the call and then check-called another 5,000 bet on the
turn. Both players then checked the
river and Baroukh tabled 
. It was good as Tran simply sent his cards to the muck.

We just posted about the news from the Twitter world in regards to Dan Shak and Todd Terry playing a big pot. Shak was kind enough to let us know that the hand involved with Terry was a blind-versus-blind battle where the two raised back and forth to get all the money in preflop. Shak had pocket jacks and Terry pocket kings. Shak was able to spike a jack on the turn to win the pot and send Terry to the rail.

The dealer proceeded to burn and turned the

peeled off on the river. Both players checked and Watson tabled 
, which was good enough to win the pot as Alioto simply mucked.
