The cut-off opened to 875 preflop before Scott Clements made it 2,225 on the button, the cut-off then made it 6,400 in a cold four-bet and Clements called.
The flop was 
and the cut-off seemed to slow right down at this point, simply checking then folding when Clements bet 5,000
A player sporting a stack of about 80,000 who had just been moved to the table a hand before opened with a UTG raise to 600, and three players called behind him. Maynard Little then made it 2,100 to go from the button, and everyone got out except the original raiser.
The flop came 
. Little's opponent checked, Little bet 4,200, and his opponent called. The turn then brought the 
. And some fireworks.
Little's opponent checked again, and Little fired a bet of 6,500. His opponent responded by check-raising big to 28,000. Little paused, then declared he was all in for about 80,000 total. His opponent -- covered by about 5,000 by Little -- made the call.
Little showed 
for top set while his opponent had 
for both a flush draw and an open-ended straight draw. The river brought the 
, giving Little a boat and sending his opponent railward.
Little pushes way up to 170,000 with that hand, the biggest stack in the immediate vicinity by far, and perhaps all around thus far on Day 1d.
The board read 
when we arrived at Steven "PiKappRaider" Burkholder's table. He was heads up with an opponent who checked, and Burkholder tossed out 2,100. His opponent check-raised to 6,000, and Burkholder tank-called.
Burkholder's opponent mucked, and Burkholder opened up for top two pair.

A player in middle position opened for 800, the player to his left called, and it folded around to Joseph Cheong in the big blind who called as well.
The flop came 
. Cheong checked, the preflop raiser bet 1,500, the third player called, and Cheong called as well. The turn was the . Cheong checked again, and the raiser kept at it, firing 4,000 this time. His neighbor to his left folded, and Cheong considered the situation. He asked what his opponent had left -- about 11,000 -- then called the bet.
The river brought the , a possible filler of straight or flush draws. Cheong didn't hesitate at all, setting out a column of chips totaling 37,000, well above what his opponent had left. About 15 seconds later, his opponent's cards were heading to the dealer face down, and the pot was being swept to Cheong.
After that one, last year's third-place finisher in the 2010 WSOP Main Event is now sitting with about 54,000.
Alex Kravchenko's table (which he shared with Jeff Lisandro) was moved to the mothership feature area but the Russian has since been eliminated from the tournament, there will be no repeat of 2007 for him this time.

Just as Ivan Demidov got himself all in, the ESPN cameras swarmed, and it sort of bumped us out of a line of sight. We only have tidbits. Demidov was all in with 
, and Beth Creedmoor was slightly behind but drawing live to the knockout with her 
.
The board was... well, we're really not too sure. But we did see the somewhere in there, and that was all Creedmoor needed to send the 2008 runner up on his way. You'll see the rest on TV, we suppose.
From early position, Lars Bonding raised to 900. Action folded around to the player in the small blind and he reraised to 2,400. Bonding made the call and then the dealer ran the 
flop. The small blind continued with a bet of 3,400. Bonding called.
The turn brought the and the small blind fired 6,200. Bonding called again to see the river.
The 
paired the board on the river and the small blind fired all in for 20,475. Bonding began to tank after getting a count from the dealer. Bonding tanked for several long minutes before finally making what looked to be a very painful fold.
