Eric "basebaldy" Baldwin opened for 1,050 under the gun and was called in two spots. He bet 1,800 on the 
flop, and the hijack raised to 5,000. The player on the button shoved all in for about 30,000, and Baldwin tanked for about two minutes before calling off his 20,975. The original raiser folded, and the cards were tabled.
Baldwin: 
Button: 
Baldwin's flopped flush was good, and he faded the higher draw when the 
and 
hit the felt.
Ryan Miller opened for 1,200 under the gun and Jimmy Fricke decided to defend his big blind. The 
flop saw Fricke check-call a bet of 1,800, and then he check-called one of 3,800 on the 
turn. Both players then checked the 
turn and Fricke tabled the 
for a straight. It was good as Miller sent his cards to the muck.
The floor was called for a ruling because Jarred Solomon had bet 1,500 on the river of a board reading 
, was raised to 3,000, then exposed his two cards — 
.
Solomom explained he hadn’t seen the raise and thought he had just been called and was therefore calling, not open folding. The hand was ruled live but face up and Solomon was given a warning. He made the call with his straight and his opponent's cards hit the muck face down.
Jens Kyllonen checked and called 5,000 on the turn as the board read 
. He then checked the 
river and his opponent moved all in for 16,000. Kyllonen grimaced but announced a call, and he was shown 
for a full house.
He mucked his hand, but a nearby floorman reminded the dealer that the cards should have been exposed for an all-in and call. The dealer apologized, then joked that Kyllonen should tell them what he had and "we'll believe you."
Kyllonen smiled and said he had .
"I knew you had king-queen," he said, shaking his head. "That's why I just called the turn."
Rafael Saul from Buenos Aires, Argentina began the day with 31,900, but he just about doubled that to get back to approximately 56,000 after winning a hand off Kenny Nguyen.
On the final board of 
, Saul's all-in bet was called by Nguyen. Saul tabled the and began yelling over and over.
"Vamo, Rafa! Vamo, Rafa! Vamo, Rafa! Vamo, Rafa! Vamo, Rafa!" he yelled repeatedly, getting louder and louder with each yell and pumping both of his fists back and forth.
Nguyen mucked his hand, and Saul scooped in the pot.
We arrived at the table in time to see Nick Schulman and an opponent heads up on a 
board. Schulman's opponent threw out a bet of an unknown amount only to have the two-time WSOP bracelet winner come over the top for 8,600 total. Schulman's opponent instantly shoved all in for 18,500 and Schulman called.
Schulman: 
Opponent: 
Schulman had led with his flopped set of treys but his opponent was drawing live with an open-ended straight draw. The 
finished the board, filling Schulman up and allowing him to score the knockout. He now has about 110,000 in chips.
With 5,000 or so in the pot and a flop of 
, NBA star Paul Pierce bet 2,500 from the under-the-gun position and inspired folds from both the players in the hijack and on the button. Not a huge hand, but it gave us a good excuse to update Pierce fans on his progress. As you can see he's managed to add a bit to his stack here in Level 6.
