We caught up with this hand on the turn between Dan Smith and Jean-Louis Santoni. The board showed 
and Santoni bet 145,000. Smith called after a bit and the river came 
.
It took Santoni quite a bit of time to consider his action on the river. So much in fact John Esposito asked, "Is it someone's turn here?"
Santoni finally checked and Smith bet 263,000. Santoni took just a moment to fold.

William Fichman started a recent hand out by opening for 50,000. Action folded around to Jonathan Poche who moved all in for around 400,000. The action then came around to the short stacked Randy Green on the button who called and was all in for 70,000. Finchman also made the call and was at risk.
Poche: 
Fichman: 
Green: 
After a 
flop was unleashed on the felt it was realized that no one was safe, and anyone could come away from this pot a winner. If Poche could hold he would deliver the double knock out, and we would be 15 handed. A 
on the river helped no one, but the 
on the river gave Green the straight and he was allowed to tripple up. Poche also managed to get a piece of the pot, and took the remainder of Fichman's stack as his pair of kings were still better than a pair of queens.
Fichman heads to the rail and is our 17th place finisher.

Dan Smith opened for 33,000 and Noah Vaillancourt made it 71,000 behind him. Hok-Leung Wong took a long while to fold his big blind but then Smith moved all in. Vaillancourt snap-asked, "How much?"
The dealer counted down Smith's stack and it was 372,000 total. Vaillancourt reached into his backpack, grabbed some gum and then folded his hand.
