O'Hara has already cashed five times this series, bringing home some profit in Events #54, #47, #43, 339, and #20, and with a hot start today, he may be able to lock up a sixth cash in this event as well.

Madsen put out a bet of 5,400 which was enough to put his opponent all in and the player was in the tank. As the player was thinking, Eric Wasserson, who was also at the table, called the clock.
The floor staff came over and began the countdown at 30 seconds. As the floor reached seven, the player folded and Madsen took down the pot, allowing him to increase his stack.

"Daddy - Use this cake to distract all the fish at your table! Good luck!!! Love, Ellie & Jude"
Those were the words written on a box of bundt cake sat in the middle of the $2,500 Big Bet Mix table. The cake, a present from Briana Ohel to her husband Randy from their two children, had already been dug into by Ohel himself, and then by nearby players such as Jon Turner and Mike Matusow.
Ohel said that he had told tournament staff and officials that they were welcome to a piece, and no sooner had he said it there was an official announcement that there was cake.
Ismael Bojang and Eric Wasserson were two of the players who quickly headed toward the table, as well as Jason Mercier, who insisted that it was a present for his wife Natasha.
Brandon Shack-Harris? No such luck. By the time he had gotten to the table, the cake was gone, eliminated from the tournament by hungry mixed-game players.
