We arrived at the table to see Joe Kuether put in a third bet on the turn with the board reading 
. His lone opponent called the re-raise, and the 
fell on the river. Kuether bet, his opponent called, and Kuether tabled 
for a turned flush.

We picked up with the action on a board of 
to find Ben Yu check-raise David Chiu. Chiu called to see the final card.
The 
struck the river and the exact river action was unknown, but after a series of bets and raises, Chiu tabled 
for queens full of nines. It turned out to be the second best hand, however, as Yu rolled over 
for queens full of aces. Yu dragged in the pot and is now sitting on about 38,000 in chips while Chiu has fallen to around 16,000.

The break is over and players have returned to their tables.
Level: 5
Limits: 400/800
Ante:
Players are now on a 30-minute break.
David "ODB" Baker raised to 600 from middle position and action folded around to 2001 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Carlos Mortensen, who made the call from the big blind. Mortensen then checked the 
flop, Baker bet and Mortensen woke up with a check-raise to 600, leaving himself the same amount behind. Baker pushed back with a three-bet and then called when Mortensen four-bet all in.
Mortensen: 
Baker: 
Baker held top set, which meant Mortensen was in need of either an ace or running diamons. The 
turn was no help and neither was the river. Mortensen silently gathered his things and exited the Amazon Room.
