Eric Baldwin was in the big blind when he looked down at 
- not bad. Even better, a late position player shoved all in for around 11,000. Needless to say, once the action was folded to Baldwin, he made the call. His opponent held 
and it was looking like Baldwin would send the player to the rail.
The 
board gave Baldwin a sweat, but his aces stayed in front and Baldwin raked in the pot.

It's getting a little heated over at Table 420 in the Amazon Room. Our former chip leader, William John, and current chip leader Mark Demirdjian just got involved in a pot that resulted in Demirdjian calling the clock and the two players getting into a verbal battle.
Demirdjian raised to 1,600 from early position. John called from the button and the big blind called as well. On the 
flop, the big blind checked over to Demirdjian, who bet 3,400. John called and the big blind folded. The turn was the 
and Demirdjian led out for 8,100. John went into the tank.
After re-checking his cards four times in a span of about three minutes, John was still considering his options when Demirdjian called the clock. John wasn't happy; he flicked his hand into muck and asked Demirdjian why he called the clock so soon.
"That's what happens when you take five minutes for every decision," Demirdjian blurted at John. The two players exchanged a few more words before moving on to the next hand.
John is down to around 35,000 chips. That's roughly 13 percent of what he started the day with.

Pokerstars pro Matthias De Meulder had a pretty rough day today. He started out short, and he was never able to pick up any pots of significance all day. On the hand that did him in, De Meulder shoved under the gun for his last 5,700. It folded around to the cutoff, and he raised it up to 12,000. Everyone else folded, and the cards were tabled.
De Meulder: 
Opponent:
De Meulder would need to see paint on the board to win the hand, but the flop came nowhere close, coming down 
. The turn didn't help things, coming the , and De Meulder would need a king or a queen on the river to win. That card was the 
, and De Meulder gathered his things and headed to the rail.

We saw the ESPN cameras swarming and made our way over to see five-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner Allen Cunningham all in with the 
laid out in front of him. It appeared he had gotten all in preflop, though we're not sure as the 
board was already out.
Unfortunately for Cunningham, Eric Kurtzman had 
out in front of him for the win. Cunningham made a silent exit from the tournament floor, no doubt disheartened he won't be making a deep run as he did in 2006 when he finished in fourth place.

Tables are slowly being broken and players scattered around the Rio as the day wears on. There are about 24 tables left in the Pavilion and that number continues to dwindle. Recently we caught up with Barry Greenstein as he was shaking hands with an opponent he had just knocked out. Apparently Greenstein had gotten his opponent all in and at risk with 
, his opponent held 
. The board ran out 
giving Greenstein the straight and the knock-out blow.
Apparently this was Greenstein's second hand of knocking out a shorty, he recently just tweeted this.

A string of tables away sits David Pham who was also getting involved in a pot. A player in early position raised it up to 1,800 and Pham three-bet to 3,800. The rest of the table folded and the early position player made the call.
The flop came 
prompting both players to check. The on the turn saw a repeat of actions with two more pats of the felt for passes. The on the river though saw the early positioned player bet out 3,600. Pham begrudgingly made the call, and was shown for two pair aces and nines. Pham couldn't beat it and he deposited his cards in the muck.
Pham now sits around 96,000.
