James Russell found himself all in preflop for around 700,000 holding 
and racing against the 
of Chris Conrad. Any excitement quickly dissipated when the 
flop delivered Conrad a set and a huge lead. The 
turn left Russell drawing dead, and he made his way to the payout desk in eighth place after the 
was put out on the river.

Bradley Lipsey started the action by raising to 85,000 from the cutoff, Chris Conrad bumped it up to 175,000 and Tim Killday called from the big blind. Lipsey dumped his cards like they had a virus and Killday announced a dark check.
The flop came 
and Conrad checked behind. The turn brought the , Killday checked and Conrad bet 200,000. Killday raised to 1.2 million after some thought and Conrad shoved on him. Killday called and the cards were tabled.

After Tim Killday limped from the under-the-gun position, James Russell raised to 200,000 from the hijack. The rest of the field got out of the way, Killday called, and the flop came down 
. Killday turned right around and led out for 400,000, which was enough to take down the pot.

: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
In the last hand, Jeff Fitzgerald opened for 80,000 from the hijack and Tripp Kirk three-bet to 225,000 from the small blind. Fitzgerald thought for a moment before releasing his hand.
It wasn't anything special, but serves as a great example of how the action has been the last half hour or so.

: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Once again, play has slowed considerably.
From under the gun James Russell opened to 125,000 and action folded around to Charles Moore in the big blind. Moore moved in his last 470,000 into the pot and Russell called with very little thought.
Moore: 
Russell:
The flop was scary for Moore when it fell 
, giving Russell a gutshot straight draw. The turn was a brick when it fell 
and Russell whiffed again when the river came . Moore finally has chips to play with, he's been at the bottom of the leaderboard since last night.

Brad Lipsey opened for 85,000 and found one caller in the form of Jeff Fitzgerald in the small blind. When the flop fell 
, Fitzgerald proceeded to check-call a bet of 145,000 before both players checked the turn.
The 
river saw Fitzgerald check for a third time, and Lipsey took the opportunity to bet 295,000. Fitzgerald thought for a few moments before making the call, and was pleased to hear his opponent say, "Queen high." Fitzgerald then rolled over 
to take down the pot.
