Gaelle Baumann open jammed from the cutoff for her last 34,000. Barak Wisbrod on the button called and the hand went to a showdown.
Gaelle Baumann: 8♥8♠
Barak Wisbrod: A♣10♦
Although ahead, Baumann was in worse shape than she imagined as the small blind announced they too folded pocket eights.
The board ran out 2♦4♣A♦J♠A♥ which was enough to send Baumann to the rail.
The under-the-gun player opened 6,000 and the action folded around to Chris Moneymaker in the big blind who made the call.
"Would you have raised if there wasn't a camera there?" Asked Moneymaker, pointing at the camera crew beside the table.
"I think you know the answer," responded the raiser.
The 9♣7♣6♥ flop hit the felt, and Moneymaker led for 10,000. His opponent called.
When the 9♣ paired the board on the turn, Moneymaker fired again, this time 23,000 and his opponent instantly shot his cards toward the dealer.
In a three-way pot, the flop was 8♣Q♥K♠ when a player bet 20,000 and Jesus Bertoli called while the third player folded.
The turn brought the 10♦ and Bertili's opponent sent 50,000 in the middle, putting Bertoli at risk for his last 39,500. The latter called to create the following showdown:
Jesus Bertoli: K♥K♣
Opponent: K♦Q♠
The 10♠ river didn't change anything and Bertoli double up with the full house.
Tim Van Loo and Joel Shulruf were heads-up on a board of 8♦K♠9♠Q♦ when Shulruf, on the button, bet 29,000.
Van Loo, partially covering his face with his hoodie, tanked for about a minute and rechecked his cards before raising to 120,000. It was then Shulruf's turn to tank as he took a few moments before releasing his cards with a sigh.
Action was picked up on the turn with the board reading J♥4♣2♠9♣. George Holmes checked from the big blind and Bruno Soutavong bet 12,000 from early position. Holmes raised to 32,000 and Soutavong made the call.
The river came the 10♦. George Holmes bet again, this time for 77,000. Once again Soutavong made the call.
Holmes tabled A♣3♣ for a flush draw and straight draw that missed, while Soutavong had A♠J♠ for top pair to take down a sizable pot.
Tony Ghaffari was down to just 30,000 chips and got them all in preflop against another player.
Tony Ghaffari: K♠10♦
Opponent: 7♠7♥
The board ran out A♣9♥10♠K♦K♥ and Ghaffari received a much-needed double-up.
Meanwhile, a lot of new faces are showing up in the silver section, coming from the now broken tables over at the Paris sides of things.
Picking up the action on the river, Matthew Adams in the big blind was involved in a hand with Thomas McCartney in middle position. With the board reading 9♦J♣K♦2♣K♠ and over 200,000 already in the middle, Adams pushed forward a bet of 185,000. That did not appear to sit too well with McCartney who told the table "I flopped the nuts, I've got queen-ten." After only a minute or two, McCartney open folded Qx10x but was shown the bad news after Adams flipped over A♠10♥ for the stone cold bluff. McCartney managed a "nice hand" as he saw a massive pot shipped towards his opponent.
Three players saw a flop of Q♥J♦9♥, and the action quickly checked to the 2♠ turn. Khamsy Bowles was first to act and fired out a bet of 7,000. Eric Salazar folded but the third player in the hand made the call.
The 3♥ completed the board, and Bowles continued for 11,000. Her opponent paused for a few seconds before pushing her cards into the muck.
Lee Wai Kiat has been quietly building a stack, having more than doubled his Day 3 starting stack to 733,000.
In a heads-up raised pot, the flop was A♠Q♥3♠ when Garrett Garvin bet 5,000, and his opponent called.
The turn was the 10♥ and Garvin sent another bet, this for 25,000. His opponent took a minute before folding showing an A♦.
