Blake Bohn opened from the cutoff with a raise to 500 and he was called by James Chen in the small blind as well as the player in the big blind.
The flop was and all players checked to see the come on the turn. Chen checked again to see a bet of 1,100 from the big blind. Bohn folded quickly. Chen then thought for a few moments before putting in a check-raise to 3,200. His opponent looked at her hand again, then folded, and Chen took down the pot.
Catching the action on a board of , action was on Jared Jaffee who was in the cutoff. He moved all in for 11,000 into a pot of roughly 12,000 and that put his one opponent, who was on the button, into the tank. He thought for at least a minute before calling, but mucked with Jaffee showed for a rivered flush. That allowed Jaffee to take down the pot and nearly double up.
Just before the break, Erik Seidel and Alex Foxen were involved in a big pot that lasted five minutes into the break.

Foxen was seen on the river of a board with over 20,000 in the pot. He was in the hijack, checking to his opponent in the cutoff who moved all in for 17,500, covering Foxen's remaining 15,300.

He took another one minute or so to figure out whether to pull off the call or not, and then gave it a green light, grabbing his chips and putting them into the middle.
Unfortunately for Foxen, his opponent showed for top two and Foxed revealed his before heading for the exit.
