Derek Snyder is Low, But Much Higher Than He Was

Derek Snyder was down to 225 in chips a short while ago, and shortly before the break he was all in for about 3,000 with A-J against another player's A-9. The board came K-8-3-7-A, and Snyder won the pot with his jack kicker to double up.

That still leaves Snyder with a short stack of about 6,000, and the after-dinner blinds will increase to 200-400 (50 ante). But compared to his earlier stack of 225, Snyder must feel he has a mountain of chips in front of him.

David Bach Eliminated

David Bach raises preflop, Michael Keiner moves all in with {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}, and Bach calls all in with {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}. But before the flop ever comes out, there is a controversy over whether or not Bach's raise was pulled into the pot, and how Keiner owes to cover Bach in the pot. It takes a while, but things are eventually worked out, and the hand plays out.

The flop comes {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, and Keiner flops a set while Bach has a gutshot straight draw. The turn card is the {2-Clubs}, giving Bach additional outs to a club flush. But the river card pairs the board with the {2-Spades}, giving Keiner a full house to win the pot, and David Bach is eliminated.

Michael Keiner increases his stack to 35,000.

McEvoy Sets It Up

Flop: {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}

McEvoy's opponent led out for 2,000 and McEvoy raised to 8,000. His opponent moved all-in and had McEvoy covered. McEvoy made the call and turned over {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} while his opponent showed {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}. McEvoy's top set held up and he's now up to 40,000.
