We caught up to the action on fifth street to see David "ODB" Baker, Gus Hansen, and Adam Friedman in a hand. As the dealer dealt each players fifth card, Hansen made a pair of jacks.
"Boom!" he said as the jack fell. He led out with a bet and Friedman called while Baker mucked.
"I just have 500 back so I'm just going to put it in now," remarked Hansen who was all in.
"I'll call," replied Friedman. "I have a flush draw."
"Yeah, big flush draw," Hansen said sarcastically with a smile, turning over as his down cards for a full house, meaning Friedman was drawing dead on the subsequent streets. Hansen was able to drag the pot and stay alive in the tournament. He's currently sitting on about 18,000 in chips.
Two-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner Greg "FBT" Mueller started the day with a healthy stack of 32,400, but he's went nowhere but down ever since cards got back in the air.
In a recent hand of Stud, there was about 5,000 already in the pot when Mueller check-called a bet on fifth street. Both players then checked sixth, and Mueller led out on seventh. Gregorich squeezed out his card and put in a raise, which seemed to trigger alarm bells in Mueller's head. The former professional hockey player thought for a long time before admitting, "Aces up first four."
Mueller though for about 30 seconds longer and then tossed in a called. "Three nines," Gregorich said and tabled the . Mueller then showed the before sending his hand to the muck and taking to Twitter to vent his frustrations.
Action began with Bill Chen completing. It folded around to Tyson Marks who raised, leaving himself with 1,300 behind.
"I'll just call," said Chen. "You could catch an open jack and then..."
As he said that, the dealer dealt Chen another ten.
"Alright, I'll bet," said Chen, putting Marks all in. The hands were tabled to show Chen with trip tens and Marks with an opened-ended straight draw. Despite three pulls at it, Marks was unable to improve and he was sent to the rail while Chen dragged in the pot. He now sits on about 23,500 in chips.
