Jake Sharpe moved all in for his last 110,000, a not insubstantial amount, but PokerStars player Benjamin Spragg found the call on the button with 
. When Sharpe turned over 
another player felt moved to cry. “Race.” and so it was.
The cards fell [tsk s 6s 4h 6h]. Spragg’s eights held and Sharpe went home just before the end of the day; or more accurately, to the bar.

Andrew Dwyer opened for 16,000 from the cutoff only to have Patrick O`Callaghan three-bet to 37,000 from the button. A short-stacked John Mackey then four-bet jammed for 75,000 total, Dwyer folded and O`Callaghan made the call.
O`Callaghan:
Mackey: 
Mackey woke up with aces and was looking to dodge certain paint. The 
flop contained plenty of it, but luckily for Mackey both were harmless jacks. The 
turn actually left O`Callaghan drawing dead, and after the was put out on the river, he counted out the chips to pay off Mackey.

Sometimes it’s fun to just watch a table for a while and see how the table dynamics play out between the pros and the recreational players when the bubble has burst.
Ryan Straub, a Full Tilt qualifier has a decent stack of chips and is clearly enjoying himself. He offered some chewing gum around the table and a few players accepted. “How about some chips?” replied one refusing the gum. “Salt and vinegar?” Straub shot back.
Straub raised from first position. “That gum must be worth a walk surely.” He stated. Lo and behold it was and he picked up the blinds and antes.
Next it was the turn of PokerStars player Renee Xie, shrouded in a grey hoodie, to open Under The Gun for 13,000 only to get called by seat 8 and the blinds. The flop was . When the blinds checked Xie continued with the aggression and bet 16,000. No one put up any resistance and she took it down.
The next hand Adrian Tracey, a recreational player from Ireland, was Under The Gun and moved his short stack all-in. Folded round to Xie’s big blind, she took off her hood for the first time we can remember at the table and studied her opponent. A little speech about calling him if she had ace-queen, and Xie let the hand go.
Stephen Ng moved all in and Straub found a hand good enough to call from his superior stack. Ng tabled 
against Straub’s 
. We saw the board run out 
to counterfeit Straub’s pair and keep Ng alive.
Next hand Xie has the button and bet 13,000. Simon Brooks from the UK calls from the big blind and they saw a flop of 
. Check / check. The turn is the . Check / check again and the river is . Brooks decided to have a stab and bet 13,000.
Xie riffled her chips in frustration, seemingly unable to put Brooks on a hand, or at least one she could beat. She folded.
The action continues.
