Adam Kagin started the action out hot by moving all in preflop from the button after Layne Flack folded from under the gun. Jonathan Cohen then folded the small blind and Brandon Schaefer called for about 300,000.

A flop was unfolded and Schaefer looked to be in bad shape. A on the turn and a on the river allowed for Kagin to double up again.
Layne Flack continued his aggression by making it 45,000 preflop from the button. Jonathan Cohen from the big blind made the call and both players were granted access to a flop. It was here that Cohen check-called a 50,000 bet from Flack.
The on the turn saw a check-raise from Cohen who made it 140,000. Flack made the call and saw an land on the river. Cohen was not going to check any more and fired out a 425,000 bet which was called by Flack after a few moments of contemplation. Cohen showed for a king high flush, while all Flack could do is stare in slight disbelief as his chips were scooted away from him.
Layne Flack got the better of better of Brandon Schaefer in one three-bet pot, but things went a little differently the very next hand when Flack three-bet him again.
Schaefer opened to 46,000 and was three-bet to 120,000 by Flack. The last hand Schaefer called before check-folding on a flop. This time he moved all-in for 818,000. Everybody jumped out of their seats as Flack called.

"Just one black nine," pleaded a calm sounding Schaefer.
The board ran to make Schaefer a full house. He got what he asked for!
It seems like every other hand Layne Flack is dictating the action preflop. This recent hand was no different when we found him making it 45,000 preflop. Adam Kagin was the only one willing to pay the price from the big blind and both players were witness to a flop. It was here that both players checked.
A on the turn brought a repeat of action with both players knuckling the felt for a check. The river though saw a 50,000 bet from Flack and a quick call from Kagin. Flack immediately flipped over for a rivered set of sixes while Kagin mucked his hole cards.
Losing three players on the trot like that has meant our remaining players are fairly deep right now. We're not going to see much three-bet shoving for a while.
Adam Kagin is our shortest stack and still has over 30 big blinds.
Jon Cohen is on a roll and has found a lucky hand. He just took care of David Chase to make this a four-handed affair.
The action folded to Cohen on the button and he opened to 33,000 and called when Chase shoved from the small blind for another 277,000.

The board ran . Cohen's lucky hand flopped a set, turned a sweat, and rivered a full house.
Cohen had a ton of small denomination chips after this hand. The break's coming up in a few minutes and we'll verify his and all the other player's chip counts then. His rush could well have taken all the way to the chip lead.
With players taking turns stealing the blinds and antes we didn't expect anything different when Jonathan Cohen opened for 33,000. Action folded around to Michael Corson who moved all in for around 200,000. Cohen called immediately and flipped over . Corson countered by flipping over , which at the moment wasn't up to snuff.
Three cards were placed in the middle of the felt for the flop and they came out . Corson needed an ace, and an ace badly if he wanted to continue his run. A on the turn, and a gave the hand to Cohen, who's kings were best.
