Jared Jaffee opened the preflop betting round with a raise to 9,000 and then called when Antonio Lafosse three-bet to 20,000. Jaffee then checked the ![]()
![]()
flop, Lafosse made a 16,000 continuation bet and Jaffee sprung into life with a check-raise to 41,000. Lafosse remained completely still for the count of ten, before checking his cards and flicking them into the muck.
A short-stacked Nicolas Cardyn moved all in for his last 83,500 out of the small blind, and at a four-handed table his ![]()
actually figured to be a favorite against a caller with a random hand.
Sure enough, Stephen Chidwick looked him up with ![]()
, and Cardyn was in good shape to score the double if the board ran out clean.
The flop of ![]()
![]()
was clean enough, but the
on the turn was dirty for Cardyn. When the
fell on the river, Cardyn's tournament was over in 18th place, and Chidwick added another notch to his belt.

Jonathan D'Souza was first to act from his seat under the gun and he raised to 9,500. Antonio Lafosse was the small blind and he pushed a stack of yellows forward and re-raised to 20,000. D'Souza called once Jamie Rosen had folded and it was heads-up to the ![]()
![]()
flop.
Lafosse led for 20,000 and D'Souza had no trouble in calling that bet. The
turn prompted a check from Lafosse, a bet of 60,000 from D'Souza and a fold from Lafosse.
"I like my hand!" said D'Souza as he exposed his ![]()
.
Lafosse showed no emotion and tossed his ante into the middle of the felt.
After an opening raise, Raymond Dandrea three-bet to 24,000, with David "The Dragon" Pham four-betting to 65,000. After Dandrea flatted to see the flop fall ![]()
![]()
, Pham checked and then snap-called Dandrea's all-in bet, which actually put "The Dragon" all in for his last 83,000.
Showdown:
Pham: ![]()
![]()
Dandrea: ![]()
![]()
Pham hit the flop hard with top two pair, and he was way in front of Dandrea's pocket nines. The
on the turn gave Pham a full house, and the
on the river gave him the win. This hand left Dandrea essentially crippled, while Pham solidified his position as the march to the final table continues.

With the Day 1 chip leader Nick Schwarmann on the ropes, Ivan Demidov went for the kill shot with ![]()
, after the short-stacked Schwarmann moved all in for his last 69,000 with ![]()
.
The dealer fanned a flop of ![]()
![]()
across the felt, and while Demidov found four diamonds, Schwarmann jumped into the lead with trip jacks. The
on the turn gave Demidov a pair, and a pair of additional outs with which to eliminate Schwarmann, but the
on the river was the definition of a blank.
Little did Demidov know, but this blank on the river would prove to be pivotal, as it gave Schwarmann a second lease on life and about 140,000 in chips. Soon afterward, Schwarmann and Demidov tangled again, with the Russian pro and member of the original November Nine coming up on the wrong end of things once more.
Schwarmann eliminated the dangerous Demidov to move back into the familiar position of holding a dominant chip lead at his table.

Daniel Park is back in his seat and has got straight back to business.
"How long have we been playing?" quizzed Park as he approached his seat.
"Twenty-minutes," the dealer pointed out.
"Seriously?"
As we suspected, Park believed he was on a 90-minute dinner break and not the 60 minutes as on the schedule.
Myro Garcia seems to be getting frustrated with either himself or John Juanda. We've walked past his tables a couple of times during this level and each time we have seen him open to 9,000 from the button and then quickly fold when Juanda moved all in on him.
The second time we witnessed this Garcia shook his head in apparent disbelief that Juanda had moved in on him again.
Ironically, one hand after Juanda shoved on Garcia, Garcia opened again to 9,000 and folded to an all-in three bet from Justin Oliver.
Just a few hands into the latest level of play, Mike DeGilio and Vojtech Ruzicka found themselves playing a heads-up contest, as the chip leading Daniel Park has yet to return from the recent dinner break.
With nobody left to play against but each other, DeGilio and Ruzicka soon engaged in a clash, as DeGilio took his ![]()
against the Czech pro's ![]()
in an all-in pot. When the board rolled out ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
, DeGilio notched the knockout, and left himself with nobody to play with but Park's solitary stack.
After the dealer pitched a pair of hands, one to DeGilio and the other to Park's chips, a pot comprised of blinds and antes was immediately pushed to DeGilio.
"This is the easiest tournament I've ever played in," said DeGilio, raking in another small portion of Park's stack. "I'm running good."
After five or six hands of this the fun ended for DeGilio, and two new tablemates arrived to present some living breathing competition.

Joining the action on a ![]()
![]()
flop, Aaron Schaff checked to Mayu Roca Uribe in a heads up pot. Uribe bet 8,500 only to see Schaff check-raise to 21,500. Despite this highly aggressive move, Uribe called.
The dealer burned a card before placing the
onto the felt. Schaff checked its arrival and Uribe checked behind. Schaff checked again on the
river, only to fold when Uribe bet a chunky 39,500 chips.
