We have action, accompanied with a mix of ecstasy and dismay.
The first players to experience these motions were Mark Vos and Erik Friberg, the Swede all-in on a Flop of
with
vs. the Aussie's
.
The Turn was an inconsequential
, but the River caused an eruption as the
hit the felt, Mark Vos being forced to leave his table in dismay and search for consolidation in a friend.
Double up for Friberg.
------------
And that monster monster pot has put Erik Friberg top of the pile. Thanks to worldseriesofpoker.com for the counts:
1st Erik Friberg -- $450,000
2nd Dutch Boyd -- $380,000
3rd Raj Sawant -- $380,000
4th Raja Kattamuri -- $370,000
5th Bill Gazes -- $345,000
6th Gioi Luong -- $335,000
7th Danny Noam -- $320,000
8th Keith Lehr -- $270,000
9th Bill Edler -- $250,000
10th Lance Allred -- $240,000

Next up is Phil Hellmuth, who is now down to the felt after his Pocket Threes on a 8-2-3 Flop were cracked by his neighbour's Pocket Queens, Jack Turn, Queen River.
As you can imagine, the Poker Brat was beside himself and leapt from his seat shouting, "Noooooooooo! This is unbelievable!"
Searching for someone blame, most of Hellmuth's complaints were made under his breath, although I do recall him moaning to the dealer about the cards being dealt.
Either way, Hellmuth has taken a big and unfortunate knock, and was left with the consolation prize of Tony G's company, which probably didn't help matters.

Hellmuth has doubled up twice since then, he's now back over 100k.
Meanwhile Ram Vaswani has managed a remarkable comeback. He's now got over 400k(!) including busting the guy who had the Fives against his 9-8
Ram:
Matey:
Board (with various shouts of "Eight!" from Matey in between every street):
Ram then took down another big pot with a 50k bet on the turn of a
board.

Francois Balmigere is OUT in testicle crunching circumstances, looking good with
all-in versus
.
However, it all turned to brown excrement as the board brought a soul destroying
, the runner runner runner runner sending the Frenchman to the rail.

Players are on a 15 minute break whilst the 500 chips are coloured up.
When we come back, it'll be 5k/10k with a 1k ante.

Eugene Katchalov is OUT.
Didn't spot his hand, but his terminator held A-T on a 3-K-A-4-T which did the job.
----------
Nick Schulman is OUT, ran
into
, although was teased with a
board.

Phil Hellmuth is OUT.
vs
Ace on the turn.
This led to a typical moan followed by calling the guy who had been sitting to his right, 'the worst player I've ever seen.'
It must be so tough for Phil, every time the 'worst player ever' comes along, Phil ends up out... He's really jinxed.

Matt Brady, a young player, who Pauly says, "Doesn't really play online but travels the tournament circuit like an old school pro..." just lost most of his stack to Dutch Boyd.
Brady bet 55k on the river of a
board. Boyd made the call with
and Brady mucked his

Looks like Matt Brady is also pushing up the daisies, he was spotted collecting his spondoolies just prior to the aforementioned Schulman.
----------
Meanwhile, we witness a crucial double up for Tony G, which has subsequtnly lured out with force the Tony G we all know and love/hate.
All-in with A-9 vs. J-T (on the flop, I think, which was K-Q-Q), Tony G jumped up into the like a salmon when the Turn brought and Ace, followed by a Queen River.
"Yeah, baby!" he exclaimed. "Now we're playing! You wanna gamble with J-T?"
Antonius is now on 110k.

An uberdwell from Bill Gazes after Ram Vaswani had called his 45k bet on the turn of a
board then bet out 60k on the
river when Bill checked. He eventually made the call and Ram showed
to scoop.

Keith Lehr first doubles up off Emil Patel with
vs.
on a
board before Patel semi-returns the favour splitting a pot with the same player holding
vs.
and a
board.
Noam didn't realise at first as he shook his opponent's hand, but when the light bulb went ping, he said, "Oh, well, you deserved a split pot anyway."

Greg Pierson and Newkirk Van are both out.
Tony G has doubled his short stack up with
against
on a
board.
David Daneshgar has doubled through too, with
vs
all-in preflop, on the flop of
, Mark Vos jokingly shouted, "Deuce, deuce!" but although the turn was a slightly winceful
, the river was only the
.
I spoke to Ram as well, "You've been up and down all day."
"I know, not very good for the old ticker. It's been a mad, mad day."
He up at the moment, on what looks like 500k at the last count.

Mark Vos is OUT.
Face bright red with rage, adrenalin pumped and somewhat teary eyed, a devastated Mark Vos swiftly exited his seat and departed the cardroom just moments after the River card was dealt.
Excluding the big 'chip leader' hand with Erik Friberg, his demise began a hand or two earlier when his button raise to 16k was pushed off by a small blind re-raise to 40k from Dutch Boyd.
Then, after a fierce re-raising war with Seat 1's Greg Pohler, Vos was all-in pre-flop with a decent amount of chips piled in the middle, around 3 or 400k in fact.
On their backs, and the young Aussie was delighted to find himself well ahead with Jacks v Tens, but while silently awaiting, and praying for, the raggy board to arrive, the dealer got into bed with the Poker Gods to deliver a cruel blow on the River, a sneaky ten popping out on the Turn of a
board.
We're a Vos down.
