Peter Gelencser was short of chips but wasn't afraid to put his stack to work in a hand against Paul Evans. Evans raised preflop, then called Gelencser's three-bet. Evans went for a check-raise on a flop of but couldn't shake Gelencser.
On the turn , Evans led out with a bet. Gelencser thought things over, then raised, putting two-thirds of his remaining stack in the middle. That was enough to convince Evans to fold.
Brian Malcolm raised preflop and was called by both Shannon Shorr and Dustin Bryan. The flop came down and action checked to Malcolm. He fired a bet and only Bryan came along.
The turn was the and action checked. The river was the and both players checked again.
"I have a ten." said Malcolm.
"I have an ace." said Bryan, as he tabled to scoop in the pot.
Lana Maier started the day among the short stacks, but she's been steadily chipping up in the first half hour. We caught her in a Stud Hi/Lo hand against chip leader Fabrice Soulier. Both players checked fourth street. Soulier bet fifth and was called.
On sixth street, Soulier still had the lead and checked to Maier, who fired a bet. Soulier called, then check-called again on the river. Maier turned up in the hole for an 8-7 low and a pair of fives.
"She won," said Soulier as he mucked.
"Nice hand," added Bryan Micon with a rap of the table.
One pot to the river is very, very expensive at this point. Torstein Iversen just learned that lesson at the hand of James Van Alstyne. Alstyne bet fifth, sixth and seventh streets, showing down in the hole for two pair, aces up, with no low after Iversen called each bet. Iversen could only sigh and muck.
A few hands later Iversen was gone in 21st place, busted by Tad Jurgens, who made aces and kings.
Vanessa Rousso called the bring in on third before Mitch Schock completed the action. Rousso came along. She called a bet on fourth and then raised fifth after Schock bet. Schock made the call and then sixth street was checked by both players. After seventh, Schock fired a bet and Rousso called.

"I had two pair on fourth street." said Schock as he turned his hand over.
Rousso just mucked her cards and tapped the table.
Players on Tables 151 and 152 are treading very lightly to start the day. We have not seen a showdown on either table yet; in fact only one hand progressed past fifth street.
That was a hand between Fabrice Soulier and Paul Evans. Soulier completed third street and was called by Evans. Both players checked fourth street. Soulier bet his open pair on fifth but couldn't shake Evans, who then bet his own open pair on sixth street. That bet chased Soulier out of the pot.
