Hand #15: Jason Mercier raised to 24,000 from under the gun and collected the blinds and antes.

Hand #16: Paul Volpe raised to 25,000 and both Larry Wright and Jason Mercier called from the blinds. Wright drew one, Mercier drew two and Volpe drew two.

All three players checked and Mercier tabled his and won the pot.

Hand #17: Paul Volpe opened the pot to 25,000 and Daniel Negreanu pushed out a three-bet amounting to 80,000. Volpe folded and Negreanu was pushed the pot.

Hand #18: Paul Volpe opened to 27,000 from under the gun and Brian Rast defended his big blind as both players drew one card.

Rast then led for 48,000 with Volpe calling. Rast showed his and Volpe instantly mucked.

Hand #19: Larry Wright raised to 24,000 and both Brian Rast and Paul Volpe called from the blinds. Rast drew one, Volpe drew two and Wright stood pat.

The action checked to Wright and he splashed the pot with a bet of 50,000. Rast went into the tank for over three minutes before folding as Volpe now took his turn entering the tank as he deliberated for close to three minutes also before folding.

Wright tabled his and scooped the pot.
