Action started with Jonathan Seelbach raising it to 5,000 in the hijack. Faraz Jaka was next to act in the cutoff, and he raised it up to 12,500. The player on the button made the call, and it folded around to Seelbach, who called as well.
The flop came down 
, and Seelbach checked to Jaka, who lit the fuse on the fireworks. He bet 18,000, and the button raised to 45,000. Action was on Seelbach, and he tanked for about 30 seconds before assembling a raise to 90,000, and sticking it in the middle. It was on Jaka now, and he thought for about 30 seconds as well before grabbing some chips. At first it looked like they were calling chips, but he grabbed for more and put in a four bet to 135,000!
The button was clearly pained/confused by this bet, as he shook his head vigorously before folding his hand. It was back to Seelbach, and he took about 10 seconds before announcing all in for about 270,000 total! Jaka folded his hand almost instantly, and a wave of chips was sent Seelbach's way.
After that hand, Seelbach is up to 510,000, while Jaka drops to 200,000.

Phil Collins continues to work on a return trip to the WSOP Main Event final table following his sixth-place finish from a year ago.
Just now Collins was involved in a hand versus a single opponent in which they'd built a pot of about 11,000 when the flop came 
. Collins' opponent checked, and acting with the same deliberation we grew accustomed to watching in the past, Collins paused for about a half-minute before betting 6,500. His opponent quickly called.
The turn brought the 
and another check from Collins' opponent. Collins again took his time before tossing out a big bet of 35,000 — just a touch under the size of his opponent's remaining stack. His opponent pushed the rest of his chips in, and Collins called the remainder.
Collins showed 
while his opponent had 
for jacks and a flush draw. The river brought the 
, and another player hits the rail.
After the hand, Collins jokingly tried to tip the dealer, but he refused explaining how he couldn't take any tips.
The table laughed, and Collins continued to grin as he collected the chips, adding to a stack that has now tipped up over the average.

Chris Moorman opened the action with a raise to 5,500. David Randall made it 18,000 from the small blind and action back was on Moorman.
Moorman reached a hand into his stack and came out with a four-bet to 38,000 total. Action was back on Randall and he announced that he was all in. Moorman quickly flung his hand to the muck and Randall took down the pot.
Moorman is now sitting on 220,000 while Randall is atop 680,000 in chips.

We didn't catch the exact hand, but we can confirm that the 2002 World Series of Poker Main Event champ, Robert Varkonyi, was eliminated after getting all in preflop with 
and running into the 
of David Kluchman. The board ran out dry and Varkonyi's run came to an end shy of the dinner break.

Just 15 minutes ago we brought you the action from a hand that saw Sean Rice cripple Eugene Katchalov. We just noticed that Katchalov's seat was empty and that Rice had even more chips. We took to twitter to investigate and found that Katchalov had tweeted about the hand where he was crippled and then tweeted the following.
EugeneKatchalov Eugene Katchalov 3 hands later vs same kid I get dealt QQ in BB vs his button AK for another 300k pot and bust.

Bernard Lee led out for 6,800 on a flop of 
. Gary Hurst, who's apart of an #ArmyAgainstMike, called.
The turn was the , and Lee checked to Hurst who tossed out 11,300. Lee called.
The 
completed the board, and Lee checked again. Hurst grabbed a handful of chips, and plopped 37,100 down in front of him. Lee went into the tank, examining the remainder of Hurst's stack, then finally called.
Hurst rolled over 
for a rivered set of fives, and Lee jumped out of his chair, knocking it over, and yelled, "Oh my god!"
He mucked his cards very high, and they appeared to both be paint.
"Good call on the turn," Hurst offered.
Lee was knocked down to 165,000, while Hurst is flirting with 200,000.

Vanessa Selbst opened to 5,200 from under the gun plus one only to have Yuval Bronshtein three-bet to 11,200 from the hijack. It folded back around to Selbst and she dropped a call into the middle of the table.
The flop came down 
and Selbst checked to the raiser. Bronshtein continued with a bet of 8,700 and Selbst came over the top for 35,300 total.
Bronshtein went into the tank for a few minutes before mucking his hand. The ESPN crew came over with the hole-card camera to capture the player's hands.
"I just get bluffed out of a huge pot and you want to embarrass me on TV?" asked Bronshtein while laughing.
After the hands were captured, the pot was pushed to Selbst who is now sitting on 322,000.

Daniel Negreanu opened for 5,200 from early position and found one caller in Jerry Wong in the big blind blind.
The flop came 
and Wong check-called a 6,500 c-bet from Negreanu.
Both players checked the turn, however, when Wong checked again on the river, Negreanu cut out a bet to 8,200 and tossed it into the middle. Wong quickly folded and Negreanu scooped the pot.
Negreanu is still fighting despite the recent hits to his stack - he is back up to 120,000.
