Howard Mash has donned what he says is a lucky black jacket, and it worked out well in a hand against Farhad Jamasi.
Jamasi opened to 550,000 from early position, and the jacket-sporting Mash put in the three-bet to 1,500,000. Jamasi thought it over for a bit before folding, showing and mucking 
.
Mash turned over his 
and said the jacket is now bringing him better fortunes.

Adam Richardson raised on the button to 600,000 and was called by big blind Farhad Jamasi alone. A series of ever larger check-calls ensued: 500,000 on the 
flop, 1,200,000 on the 
turn and 3,000,000 on the 
river. This last call was especially quick, but Jamasi mucked his hand upon seeing the 
in Richardson's possession, making for a full house on a river that likely made three-of-a-kind for his opponent.

A smattering of mauve and pink 500,000 value chips have been introduced (mostly into James Mcnurlan's stack, to cut its sprawl down). When this happened, Samir Husaynue said, "Now you're less intimidating, looks like less."
James McNurlan opened for 900,000 under the gun, and Mansour Alipourfard three-bet all-in for his approximately 6-million stack, from the button.
Donald Matusow called from the big blind, and McNurland exited to let the two shorter stacks fight it out.
Donald Matusow: 
Mansour Alipourfard: 
The board ran out 
, and Matusow's pocket aces held up. Alipourfard was slightly covered by Matusow, and he's the first bustout at the final table.

Mike Lisanti moved all in for 4,000,000 (as he seems to do once an orbit, keeping roughly level for the last hour) over the top of a preflop call from Jim McNurlan, who folded, showing pocket threes.
"You didn't kick me first," lamented McNurlan, who wished he'd gotten advance warning of the jam. Lisenti showed 
and picked up the small pot.
While the next hand was being dealt, the table discussed their varying happiness levels. Samir Husaynue said of Mcnurlan, "On a scale of one to ten, he's a ten."
"I used to be a ten, I ran like god yesterday," said Howard Mash.
