David Williams was crippled with a small flush about 15 minutes ago, and we just watched him stand up and exit the room. His seat is empty, there are no chips on his slice of the felt, and one of the newest members of Team PokerStars is out.

Fifth street had been dealt, and the board included three sixes -- 
. Phil Galfond, sitting in the small blind, had 37,500 sitting in front of him. That bet appeared to exceed the amount in the pot full of scrambled lavender, blue, yellow and orange chips that sat between him and his opponent in middle position.
His opponent tanked for a couple of minutes, then finally called. Galfond flipped over 
for quad sixes, and his opponent mucked.
"You're amazing, Phil!" said the player sitting to his left. Subsequent talk suggested the remark referred both to Galfond's good fortune and to his having gotten big value on his quads.
Galfond has moved up to 316,000 now.
There was about 12,000 in the pot and a flop of 
when both blinds checked to Joe Cada, who bet 7,000. Both blinds called and the 
appeared on the turn. All players checked to the 
on the river.
The small blind checked and the big blind bet 22,500. Cada seemed frustrated by the bet and tossed his cards into the muck. The small blind folded as well, giving the big blind the pot. Cada is sitting with around 110,000.
We arrived to see the cards on their backs, EPT Deauville champion Jake Cody slightly covering his opponent.

Even Shorter Stacked Opponent: 
Board: 
"Ai ai ai," complained tablemate Alexander Vecherkovski as the luckless short stack busted out and Cody improved to 50,000, "Yet again I fold the best hand of course."
We though pocket aces was a rather good one, but there's no pleasing some people.
John Racener raised from middle position and got one caller in the small blind. The flop came 
. Racener's opponent checked, he bet 4,700, his opponent check-raised to 10,000, and Racener called.
The turn was the . Again Racener's opponent checked, and undeterred by the check-raise before Racener bet 18,700. His opponent called.
The river was the . Racener's opponent bet 16,300 this time, and he made the call. His opponent showed 
for a set, and Racener mucked. He's down to 72,000 now.
Eric Siegel raised under the gun to 3,200 and received two callers: UTG+1 and the small blind.
On the 
flop, the small blind checked, Sigel bet 4,000, UTG+1 called and the small blind moved all in for 32,000. Both players called.
The turn and 
river were subsequently checked down, Siegel taking the pot with 
for two pair, aces and queens. UTG+1 had , and the small blind sang his swan song with 
.
Consequently, Siegel is up to 122,000 and in the front-running for "dodge of the day".
Hoyt Corkins, seated at the same table as Daniel Negreanu, silently opened a pot to 3,000. He was called by a player two seats behind. The two men checked the action all the way to the river, 
. That's where Corkins bet roughly the pot, 7,000. His opponent called but couldn't beat a full house, . Corkins is up to 145,000.
They've played 10 two-hour levels so far in the 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event. The total number of players remaining has now dipped below 2,000, down to 1,984 as we begin the new level.
A reminder -- the top 747 spots pay, so we're still a good ways away from bubble time.
The next break is due one hour from now.
