It's been total domination for Mark Demirdjian over on Table 420, recently seeing his stack increase to the dizzying heights of over 400,000. Demirdjian started the day with over 100,000 and was then moved to the Day 1a chip leader, William John's table. Demirdjian then seemingly proceeded to take a huge majority of John's stack and has been winning small pots ever since.
We recently watched Demirdjian take down a hand that started with an early position player opening it up to 1,325. The player on the button made the call, along with the small blind and Demirdjian in the big blind. On the turn, the play was checked to the preflop aggressor and only Demirdjian would make the call. Both players then checked the turn and it was on to the river. This time Demirdjian would led out for 4,600 and a fold from his opponent would see more chips enter his gargantuan stack.
After the hijack had opened for 1,200 and the button three-bet 2,600, Rhynie Campbell four-bet all in from the small blind for around 7,000. Yin Sun then moved all in over the top from the big for around 30,000, which pushed the other two players out of the pot.

Campbell, who you may recall won a televised poker tournament back in 2007 on Turks and Caicos Island, was in bad shape and in need of some help. Unfortunately for him, he would find none as the board ran out .
Meanwhile, David Stefanski, Mark Lefever and Michael Gagliano have all been eliminated from the tournament.
The board read and Justin Bonomo bet out 5,000. We don't know what happened to lead up to this point, but we know there was around 8,000 in the pot already. Bonomo's opponent then raised to 12,400. After about 30 seconds Bonomo announced all in for around 26,000 more. Everyone at the table then played the waiting game to see if Bonomo's opponent would make the call. Around 3 minutes passed before he threw it away, and Bonomo picked up the pot.

There has been an empty seat over here in the Pavilion room that has been blinding out all day. We took a look at the seating card, and it's none other then David Peat, or "Viffer" as he is often referred to in the poker world. Peat did not report an official count to the WSOP, so we don't know how much he started the day with, but we can say that he has been blinded down to 26,200. We will let you know if he finds his way to his table at any point today.
