Brett Shaffer just doubled through Erik Seidel and then got three-quarters of Richard Talaber's all in on the very next hand. He now has 110,000 chips while Seidel falls to 45,000 and Talaber is left with just 10,000.
We missed all of the preflop action but found Surindar Sunar all in from the small blind for around 23,000. Brandon Paster then re-potted from middle position which got the hijack to fold as the two remaining players flipped their hands.
Paster: 
Sunar: 
Sunar was in solid position for the double up until the flop came down 
to giver Paster top two. Sunar would now need one of the two remaining kings left in the deck to survive but it came the 
and 
and he was eliminated.

On a 
flop, Dan Heimiller bet 6,000 into Austin Marks and Phil Laak. Marks made the call while Laak threw his hand away.
The turn was the 
and both players checked. The river was the 
and Heimiller checked again to Marks who bet 13,500. Heimiller thought for a bit and decided to call.
Marks tabled 
for a hand that could not be beat. Heimiler mucked and fell to 75,000 while Marks chipped up to 125,000.
Gazes got his last 26,500 in with 
versus the 
of Daniel McNally.
Before the dealer dealt out the cards, Allen Kessler said, "You need a five and a three. Put out a five and a three." Sure enough the flop came 
. The turn 
and river made Gazes a full house though with no low on board.
After the double up, Kessler looked at McNally and joked, "I guess I should have been more specific about what cards you needed." McNally is now down to 41,000.
We caught up with the action three-handed and around 47,000 in the pot on a 
flop. Zbigniew Pakleza went all in for his last 1,800 and Ali Eslami called before Sorel Mizzi raised to an amount that we didn’t catch. In any case, Eslami folded and two remaining players flipped their cards.
Mizzi: 
Pakleza: 
Mizzi was ahead with top pair and the 
on the turn and 
on the river didn’t provide enough help to Pakleza who was eliminated.

When we arrived at the table, Phil Laak, Nick Binger, and Alex Freiberg were playing a pot with the board reading 
. The pot had around 16,000 in it, and Freiberg bet out exactly that much, leaving himself around 12,000 behind. Laak counted out a pot sized reraised of 63,600, and slid it into the middle, and action was on Binger. He tanked for about 90 seconds before letting his hand, and Freiberg put the rest of his chips in. Laak showed 
for the nut low and a low flush. Frieberg mucked, and Binger looked visibly upset, saying that he had folded a higher flush. Regardless, Laak took the pot, boosting his stack to over twice the average in the room.

After another two levels of play, we're on a 20 minute break.
Level: 15
Blinds: 1,500/3,000
Ante: 0
We didn't catch the hand, but the cry of seat open was heard from his table, and Dan Shak was no longer in his seat. He has been eliminated.
The big blind was on Nick Schulman but he wasn’t there due to receiving what appeared to be a one round penalty for using the F-Word in a sentence towards Fabrizio Gonzalez when the two exchanged words. As for the hand, Gonzalez limped in middle position as did the hijack and David Sands in the cutoff. The action was then on Erik Seidel who potted to 19,500 on the button and only the hijack called.
On the 
flop, the hijack set Seidel all in for his last 15,500 who didn’t look to happy but made the call anyways.
Seidel: 
Hijack: 
The hijack was in prime positon to knockout Seidel who picked up some additional outs on the turn. The river was the 
to give the hijack two pair...but it also gave Seidel Broadway as he doubled up.
With Bill Gazes and Sands having recently joined the table, it will certainly be one to watch from here on out.
