The pot was already pretty big by the time we came looking. We saw the dealer complete the | | board and Dominik Nitsche checked from the under-the-gun position. Aaron Jones on the button bet out 4,500, and Nitsche called almost immediately with a look on his face like he was sure he had the winner.
He did not however, as Jones turned over for a rivered fullhouse. Nitsche mucked with a disgusted face which prompted a laugh from Jones. Come on! Jones said, That was tens right? I was good all along! Nitsche thought differently and asked with a semi serious voice Are you serious? Wether he was serious or not, Jones now has 19,000 while Nitsche has to continue his tournament with about 10,000.
The first break of the tournament just started. In 15 minutes the players will return for their third level, but for now they have time for a quick snack or trip to the bathroom.
Picking up the action after the river of a board with about 14,000 in the middle, action is on Kurt Jewell in middle position. He is facing a Chris Moorman all-in bet of 7,525 from late position and after about two minutes in the tank, Jewell calls.
Moorman tables , Jewell mucks, and Moorman doubles up to about 29,500.
Faced with a bet of 2,100 on a board of , Phil Ivey opted to raise to 6,025. His opponent tanked for quite some time, then finally opted to fold his hand.

We have it on good authority that Daniel Negreanu is down to just a 1,000 in chips. We heard about a big pot where the board read | | and Negreanu had to turn over from the button. His opponent, the player in the big blind, turned over . The exact action is unkown as of now, but Negreanu has only a 1,000 in chips left. We're keeping a close eye on his table to report on his comeback or demise.
David "Doc" Sands opened to 275 from early position, Jesse Martin called on his direct left, and Jason Somerville three-bet to 1,100 out of the big blind. Only Sands called.
The flop fell , Somerville led out for 1,600, and Sands made the call. The turn was the , Somerville fired another bullet worth 3,300, and Sands moved all in for just a few thousand more. Somerville begrudgingly called.

Somerville was left with just 2,600, and busted soon after.
