From under the gun, Andrew Cohen raised to 2,500. Sandra Naujoks flatted in the cutoff position. Court Harringtonthree-bet from the small blind and made it 8,500 to go. After the big blind folded, Cohen instantly moved all in. His total bet was worth 51,600. Naujoks folded and then Harrington requested to have the 8,500-chip bets pulled in. He then tanked for a bit and looked as if he was counting out some pot odds. After a bit he folded and said, "I'm glad you didn't have six thousand less, nice hand,"
Harrington's on 88,400 now while Cohen chipped up to 63,000.
We had our heads buried in our computers when we heard, "Three-way all in, Table 289!"
"Rob! Rob!" Michael Mizrachi was standing up and motioning for his brother to come over. Robert is at the adjacent table, and he stood up. "Aces versus kings versus queens!" Grinder said. When we and Robert got over to the table, it was brother Michael on the good end of things with 
against an opponent with 
and another with the third-best 
. The two trailing players were both all in for about 30,000 apiece, and Grinder had them covered. As the ESPN cameras scrambled from around the room, the dealer ran the board:
Mizrachi's aces hold to earn him the double knockout, and he's thusly chipped his way up to about 142,000.
The small blind raised to 2,100 and Burt Boutin reraised to 14,800. The small blind made the call and thought he was calling all in, although he left 3,100 behind.
The flop came 
and the small blind bet the 3,100. Boutin called and showed 
but was behind the small blind's 
. The 
on the turn was no help but the on the river gave Boutin the win. He is up to 45,000.
A player raised to 2,000, and Peter Feldman called from the cutoff.
The dealer burned one and delivered a 
flop. The preflop raiser bet 2,000, and Feldman called. The turn brought the 
and an 8,000-chip bet from Feldman's opponent. Feldman, whose best previous WSOP Main Event finish was 133rd in 2007, again made the call.
The fell on fifth street. Both players checked. Feldman tabled 
, and his opponent mucked.
Feldman, who had been as high as 100,000 earlier today, continues to climb back after taking a big hit earlier. He has 49,000 now.
The under-the-gun player raised to 2,000, and four players called. The flop fell 
, and the small blind, Soren Kongsgaard, and the raiser both checked. Allie Prescott checked behind, and the cutoff bet 2,000. The button then raised to 6,500. Kongsgaard then moved all in for 47,000. The under-the-gun raiser folded, and Prescott surprised the table by reshipping for 84,000 total. After the cutoff folded, the button spent a minute in the tank before folding what he says was the nut-flush draw.
Prescott: 
Kongsgaard:
Prescott had to dodge the spade draw, but his sweat didn't last too long. The case six fell on the turn, making him quads. It's tough to beat the nuts, and Allie sent Kongsgaard packing. Prescott is up to 155,000 now.
Two-time Olympic gold medalist Petter Northug has been quietly amassing chips in a corner of the Amazon red section and just pushed his stack over the six-figure mark by taking out one of his opponents.
The two got their money in before the flop, Northug with against his short-stacked opponent's 
. Northug's dominating hand held up on the 
board and he offered his opponent a very sportsman-like handshake before stacking up his 113,000 in chips.
The button opened for a 2,400 raise, Brian Hastings three-bet to 7,800 from the small blind and the button called. The flop came down 
. Hastings led out for 8,100 and the button called. The 
on the turn brought checks from both players. The river fell the and Hastings checked over to the button, who bet 15,000. Hastings gave up his hand and conceded the pot. He is still on a healthy 97,000 in chips.
A player raised to 2,000 (2.5x) from under the gun, and it folded around to Vince Van Patten who made it 5,000 from the button. The small blind thought for some time before letting it go, as did the big blind. The UTG player made the call.
The flop came 
. Van Patten's opponent checked, he bet 6,000, and his opponent called. The turn came the , and both quickly checked.
The river was the . Again, a check from Van Patten's opponent followed, and the former tennis pro who once beat John McEnroe leaned forward. He gathered some chips, then quickly looked up at his opponent. Finally, with what appeared a kind of resignation at not being able to make a bet, Van Patten rapped the table with his knuckles, indicating he was checking, too.
His oppenent tabled 
, and Van Patten showed 
. He moves to 106,000.
Kathy Liebert has found a double up after a fortunate river went her way. We're not sure when the action went down as we approached the table when the cards were already on their backs. Liebert held on the board to get the chocolates against her opponent's .
Liebert is up to 63,000.
