An all in on the other side of the felt now as Jim Collopy got the last of Martin Kabrhel's chips in (67k) with . Collopy held and this abruptly lost the race on the turn with the board bringing Kabrhel a full house: . The river was no longer relevant and Kabrhel builds back to a stack which could do some damage.
You'd think that at this point we'd see the stacks veering towards either All Of The Chips or Zero, but in one match at least the stacks are instead heading towards Even.
Latest to return to Starting Stacksville - Neil Channing and McLean Karr.
Channing raised from the button but Karr reraised. After a long pause during which Channing eyed up his opponent with suspicion, the call was made.
They checked down the flop and turn, the time it took them to check increasing each time - until, with 75,000 in the pot by the river, Karr bet out 42,500. Channing now tanked like a whole fleet of Panzers, but eventually folded.
Channing now leads by 250,000 to Karr's 230,000, and all hopes of a nice leisurely dinner break before the third round of matches are now evaporating...
And he'd got it all in in such good shape this time, too... preflop with vs. Huck Seed's . So quietly and quickly had they pushed in and turned their cards on their back that it took a moment for the dealer to start dealing the all-in player's fate... was the safe flop, but when the hit on the turn Lederer jumped in his chair like he'd just been lightly tasered and shook his head as the river bricked.
"I just cannot beat you..."
"That was pretty brutal," said Seed, before they started discussing the stack sizes and options in the hand. Seed is now back over his starting chips for the first time in a while.

Andrew Robl: the journey ends (Main Event starts tomorrow though).
He'd pushed back to 150k or so, and picked up preflop (if you remember, this was Negreanu's hand of the last round) which led to the prompt commital of his entire stack. Negreanu called with and they stared at the place where the board would be dealt.
came the flop - pretty good for Negreanu who suggested the dealer now, "Give him a ten!"
That's exactly what came on the turn: and now he had to root for, "No pair!"
Again the poker gods were listening to his requests, apparently, as the river came the . Flush for Negreanu; out for Robl.
After spending the last hour or so scaling Recovery Mountain, Huck Seed is sinking back down into short stack territory. We found him sighing at a flop on which Howard Lederer had moved all in to cover him. After a while he folded, mumbling something indistinguishable about top pair, and its back down to 130,000 with the blinds going up in two minutes.
The first hitch in what's been a quick and painless-looking ascent through the rounds for Martin Kabrhel just occurred, when big blind Jim Collopy made a big shove (137,500) over his raise. He'd picked a bad time to risk it all, as Kabrhel made the call with , up against the of Collopy.
The flop:
Turn:
River: !
With that river 275,000 heads back to Jim Collopy's side of the table, effectively returning the game to the beginning except reversing the slight chip lead over. Kabrhel's perfect calm cracked for a moment when the dealer accidentally counted a stack of 50k as one of 100k doubling the amount he had to call, but he soon smiled saying, "It was suited, you deserve it."
Huck Seed, playing at the other end of the same table, leaned over and said, "It was definitely worth it if the dealer is going to give you two to one on your stack at the end," stirring the pot a little.
