Hand #32: David Jackson made it 70,000 to go from early position and won the blinds and antes.

Hand #33: Bobby Poe opened to 65,000 from the hijack and was facing an all-in bet of 154,000 in total from Timothy West in the big blind. Poe eventually folded and was shown {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs} for his troubles.

Hand #34: Ferrer raised to 120,000 from middle position and won the pot uncontested.

Neither player improved on the {4-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} board and McLaughlin doubled, much to the delight of his friends on the rail.

Hand #28: David Jackson raised to 60,000 from the button and Aaron Massey three-bet to 160,000 from the small blind. Jackson made the call and the flop came {3-Clubs}{6-Spades}{k-Diamonds}.

Hand #23: Aaron Massey raised to 56,000 from middle position and won the pot uncontested.

Hand #24: The action folded to Henrik Hecklen in the small blind and he set Timothy West all-in for his 188,000 stack. West looked at one hole card and said, "I don't even need to look at the other," and called.

West flipped over {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades} and Hecklen the {Q-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. A final board reading {5-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{8-Spades}{8-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} was enough to see West double.

Hand #25: David Jackson raised to 55,000 from under the gun and the other players folded in turn.

Hand #26: David Jackson received a walk in the big blind.
