Igor Kurganov was in the tournament but Liv Boeree nowhere to be found. A quick check in the bustout list revealed that she had already been eliminated and the names of Kevin MacPhee and Joao Vieira were there too. Theo Jorgensen is the fourth player to purchase the second bullet and now sits at a new table with Ismael Bojang and Justin Bonomo.
Benjamin Pollak opened to 1,000 from early position and Sylvain Loosli called from the small blind. In the big blind, Christopher Frank reraised to 4,400 and just Pollak called. On the flop, Frank continued for 5,600 and that enforced a fold from the Frenchman. While Pollak and Frank are below starting stack, Loosli already more than doubled.

Alvarado had been picking Jorgensen's brain about the experience, swapping training stories until he heard Busquet may have been a little taller than he'd originally thought.
Alvarado is now checking the tale of the tape.
