We've lost Tony Dunst and Mickey Petersen from this event. We caught up on Petersen packing away the book he had been reading at the table all day and getting up to leave as the river card hit and his demise was confirmed.

Kitty Kuo opened to 800, and action folded around to Antonio Esfandiari, who called in the big blind. The dealer fanned out a 
flop, and Esfandiari check-raised a bet of 700 from Kuo, to 2,050. Kuo announced all in and Esfandiari thought for a moment before making the call, putting Kuo at risk.
Kuo: 
Esfandiari: 
Kuo had flopped a set and had Esfandiari in big trouble. The turn and river 
changed nothing and Kuo crippled Esfandiari with the double up.
Esfandiari has chipped up a small amount as he shoved preflop the next three hands, winning the blinds and antes.

Andre Akkari's reputation must be earning him respect at the table. He was given a walk in the big blind, and he laughingly flipped over two black aces and picked up the uncontested blinds and antes.
Later, on a board reading 
, Akkari had a bet of 3,300 in front of him and one other opponent in the hand to make the call. The river card was the 
and Akkari checked. His opponent pushed all in for 7,000 and Akkari spent a minute of consideration before folding. The winner of the hand voluntarily showed for trip aces.
