Todd Brunson: //
Jeff Madsen: //

Brunson immediately improved on fourth street, making trips and would have deuces full of sixes after receiving all his cards. Madsen had Brunson flirting with late night exit but ultimately the WSOP Poker Hall of Famer survived a twilight hours scare to keep himself in contention for Day 2

Opponent: / - folded on sixth street

Mike Matusow bet on fifth street and two opponents called, including Barry Grime. Matusow bet again on sixth street and Grime raised. The third player in the hand tank-folded and Matusow called.

Matusow slapped the table to check on seventh street and Grime took his time to make a decision as he grabbed another beer from the cocktail waitress.

"CHECK," Matusow growled.

Grime eventually bet and Matusow squirmed in his chair before folding.

"I bluffed him! I bluffed him!" Grime cheered before showing his hand. "I only had a pair of nines."

Matusow immediately sprung from the table and dialed a friend to relay what had happened, as Allen Kessler walked over and attempted to debunk the bluff.

"He (Grime) might have had the best hand," Kessler contributed.

"He (Matusow) was showing open jacks," a tablemate said.

"Oh," replied Kessler.

Nível 12 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

Jesper Olsen left Norman Chad with just 400 chips and the latter was all in on the next hand against Karina Jett, Jesper Olsen and another player.

Norman Chad: /
Jesper Olsen: / - Folded Fifth Street
Karina Jett: /

Olsen bet on fourth street with Jett being the only caller. Olsen folded after he faced a bet from Jett on fifth street.

The table then broke up the very next hand. The dealer gave Jett her new seat card but Jett thought it was the start of her next hand. She peeled the card to see her new table seat and then burst out in hysterics when she realised what she had done.

Nível 6 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

Brian Decosmo: / /
Barry Greenstein: /
Nate Silver: / /
Opponent: / /

PokerNews caught up with the action on sixth street when the floor was called over to make a ruling on the hand.

There had been a bet, call and raise before Nate Silver attempted to call. However, Silver had put out enough chips for a raise and the floor ruled that the raise would stand.

Brian Decosmo then re-raised all-in and Barry Greenstein, Silver and a third player in the hand all called.

Greenstein bet on seventh street and both opponents called. Greenstein tabled fours full of deuces for half of the side pot as the fourth player in the hand had a low.

Decosmo then tabled queens full of nines for a better full house to put a bad beat on Greenstein and be awarded half of the main pot.

"That hand kind of played itself," Decosmo consoled Greenstein.
