Four players put in 1,100 preflop and saw a flop. All four players checked, the turned, and Allen Cunningham led out for 2,500 from the small blind. Cherng Hua made the call from the big blind, the other two players folded, and it was heads-up action to the turn.
Cunningham opted to slow down with a check, opening the door for Hua to bet 5,100. Cunningham, who placed fourth in the 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event, opted to give it up.
We noticed that Didier Guerin was sitting behind a stack of around 130,000 and wondered how he got so many chips after starting the day with just over 50,000. The young Australian poker player was more than happy to fill us in.
Apparently Guerin was under the gun plus one when he raised to 1,600 holding after the under the gun limped. The small blind player called and so too did the under the gun. Guerin then described the flop as "practically the nuts" for his hand. The small blind led for 3,200 here and the under the gun folded. Guerin then raised it up to 10,500 and it was back on the small blind who "splashed" around 20,000 in the pot - which was most of the player's stack. Guerin instantly shoved his stack of 60,000 here and his opponent called for his remaining stack.

Jackie Glazier started the day with just over the starting stack and was then looking good to double up holding against an opponent's . Unfortunately that hand ended up as a chopped pot and it was back to square one for Glazier. However, Glazier has now managed to increase her stack up to almost 50,000 in chips, courtesy of a hand we recently watched.
When we arrived at the table, there was already a flop out on the felt and it was Glazier first to act against the player on the button. There was over 3,000 in the pot and Glazier led for 2,500. Her opponent called and a was dealt on the turn. This time Glazier checked and so too did her opponent. On the river, Glazier led for 5,050 and after plenty of thought, her opponent called. When Glazier tabled , it was enough to send her opponent's cards into the muck and the pot into her stack.
Readers may recall that Glazier finished second in Event 41: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em, taking home just shy of $500,000 in prize money. Glazier will surely be looking for similar success here.
The under the gun player raised it to 2,000. The hijack player then made the call after action had folded around to him. Another player who made the call was Vanessa Selbst in the big blind.
The three players witnessed a flop. Slebst and the under the gun player checked, while the hijack player bet out 2,500. Selbst made the call and the under the gun player released his cards into the muck.
The on the turn saw both players pass on their options and check. The on the river saw the same thing with Selbst knuckling the felt, and her opponent doing the same after commenting on how scared he is of her.
Selbst was instantly rattled as she flipped over her for the nut flush and a flopped two pair. She was even more disturbed when her opponent flipped over . Selbst exclaimed "missed a few bets I guess", regretting not taking more control in the hand instead of hoping her opponent would bet out.
Dutch professional Patrick Renkers just raised under the gun, and the action was folded to Maria Ho. Ho opted to three-bet to 3.300, and Renkers moved all in for 14.800. Ho snap-called, and both players turned over their cards.
Ho showed , and was looking for some help against Renkers' . The board ran out , and Renkers doubled up.
Despite this small loss Ho is still in profit today, as she has one of the biggest stacks in the room.
