Smith Five-Bet Shoves on Crowe
Owen Crowe opened for 4,000 under the gun and was met by a three-bet to 11,000 from Jeff Smith on the button. The blinds both folded, and then Crowe pushed back with a four-bet to right around 20,000. Smith wasted little time in announcing that he was all in for roughly 80,000, and Crowe snap-folded his cards.

Gross Flop for Merkow
Gregg Merkow got his last 15,000 all in preflop and was racing against Steve Gross.
Merkow:
Gross:
Merkow was on his feet to see if he could find an ace, queen, or hearts, but he was left shaking his head when the flop gave Gross a set and a hammerlock on the hand. The turn paired Merkow, but it was of no consequence and actually left him drawing dead. The meaningless completed the board on the river and then Merkow took his leave from the tournament in 73rd place.

Lin vs. Radoja: Off to the Races
WSOP bracelet winner Mark Radoja opened for 5,200 only to have John Lin three-bet all in for 24,300 from middle position. Action folded back to the Canadian and he asked for a count before making the call.
Radoja:
John Lin:
It was a flip, and Lin managed to make it through the tough part when he survived the flop. The turn meant all he needed to do was dodge a ten and jack on the river to survive. That's just what he did, too, as the harmless peeled off.

Naydenov Pounces on Patel
Action folded to Simeon Naydenov in the cutoff and he raised to 5,000. The button folded, and then Elish Patel announced that he was all in for 29,700. The big folded and Naydenov, who had some chips to spare, thought long and hard before making the call.
Patel:
Naydenov:
It was a good call by Naydenov as he had Patel dominated.
"Sit down, it's going to be a chop," someone at the table told Patel when he stood up. The flop suggested otherwise. Patel didn't look hopeful, and what little hope he may have had disappeared after the dealer burned and turned the to leave him drawing dead.
The meaningless was put out on the river for good measure, and then Patel was escorted to the payout desk to collect $3,893 for his 64th-place finish.

Fitzgerald:
Radoja:
Button:
Fitzgerald was in front going into the flop and the board would keep it that way. Fitzgerald tripled up to 100,000 and Radoja was busted in 59th for $4,539.
