While Nicklas Heinecker seems to be up the most at Table 357 we just saw Bill Klein take down another pot.
Rick Solomon raised from the cutoff, Bill Klein called from the button and Nicklas Heinecker called from the small blind. the flop came down and Heinecker checked to Solomon who bet 23,000.
Klein swiftly raised it up to 67,000 and Heinecker immediately folded. Solomon gave it some thought but eventually he let go of his hand as well.
Action folded around to Doug Polk in the cutoff and he made it 20,000 to go. Daniel Colman was on the button in the next seat over and three-bet the action to 60,000. The blinds released their cards and Polk called to see a flop.
The dealer fanned and Polk checked. Colman continued out for 60,000 and Polk stuck around. The dropped down on the turn and Polk checked for a second time. Colman knocked the table back and the two did the same after the completed the board on the river. Colman showed for a turned pair of jack and that was enough for the wine. Colman picked up the pot and now has about 3.19 million in chips. Polk, on the other hand, has dropped to about 2.64 million.
The board read when Christoph Vogelsang bet 140,000 from the small blind with around 220,000 chips already in the pot.
Isaac Haxton, on the button, went into the tank for more than a minute before ultimately letting go of his hand.
Haxton said a few things about not being happy with the way he played the hand, and Bill Klein responded, "That's what I always say when I lose."
This table, just like most others, remains very chatty and the atmosphere is extremely friendly. The only one who hasn't said a word at Table 357 seems to be Rick Salomon.
David Einhorn had been Tweeting excitedly about playing in this year's Big One for One Drop, but unfortunately for him his tournament lasted just 45 minutes.
Einhorn just Tweeted about his exit and we're sure to see him again in the Main Event.
Daniel Negreanu led out for 65,000 on a flop of , and Rono Lo tanked for a bit before making the call. The turn was a repeat deuce - the - and both players checked.
The completed the board, Negreanu checked again, and Lo bombed out 279,000. Kid Poker tanked for the better part of two minutes before calling, and there was a beat before Lo revealed for a full house.
"Another six!" Stanley Choi blurted excitedly.
"Six eh?" Phil Ivey said to Lo, who was too busy raking in the pot to respond. He then turned to Choi and asked him how to say "six" in Mandarin.
"Liù," Choi responded.
"Liù?" Ivey echoed.
Choi nodded, and Ivey asked if Choi could find someone to give him good Mandarin lessons.
"Yes," Choi responded. "I'll make sure she's pretty."
Philipp Gruissem was under the gun and made it 20,000 to go. He found calls from Tom Hall, Jean-Robert Bellande on the button, and David "Doc" Sands in the big blind. The four players took a flop of and Sands checked to Gruissem. He continued for 75,000 and Hall quickly released his cards. Bellande came over the top for 200,000 and Sands got out of the way.
Gruissem thought for well over one minute before flicking his cards into the muck. Bellande looked up, heaved a large sigh and leaned back in his chair.
"I was wondering if I was going to be the first one out of One Drop," he said, apparently unaware of David Einhorn's early exit. "Was wondering if I was going to be the first one out like they all wanted. All of the haters would love it."
Contrary to Bellande's momentary state of wonder, he is still alive and thriving in this event. Despite being under the starting stack, he won the pot and now sits around 2.75 million in chips.
With around 100,000 in the pot and a board reading , Connor Drinan checked from the small blind and Dan Smith bet 60,000 from the big.
