John Dolan was under-the-gun and cut out a raise to 700. Action folded around to the small blind and big blind, and both called the raise.
The trio saw a flop and the two blinds checked back to the former November Niner. Dolan continued for 1,250 and the small blind quickly called. The big blind released his hand, leaving the two heads-up to the turn. Action checked over to Dolan for a second time and he fired 2,500. Once again, his opponent stuck around.
The hit the board on the river and Dolan's opponent checked one last time. Dolan dipped into his stack and came out with a final bet of 6,200. His opponent called, but quickly mucked his hand after seeing Dolan's for a flopped set of fours. Dolan dragged in the pot and now has about 72,500 in chips.

Michael Nelson, the most inebriated player in the room, has just left the Amazon Room in search for perhaps a better bar to drink in.
Nelson moved all in before the flop for about 21,000 chips and James Oliver moved all in over the top, getting the other players to fold.
"Turn your cards over," the dealer told Nelson, who flipped over the .
Nelson grunted.
"Turn both your cards over," the dealer continued as Nelson smiled before he showed the .
Oliver showed and was well in the lead, but it seemed like most players were rooting for Nelson to stay in to give themselves a chance to win some of his chips.
The board ran out and Nelson was knocked out.
"I won!" Nelson yelled.
"He's got you covered," the dealer told Nelson, who shrugged.
"Well, good luck with it," Nelson said, as the dealer began dealing the next hand.
All players except for Nelson were being dealt into the next hand, as he remained seated at the table.
"We gonna smoke now, black?" Nelson yelled over to Maurice Hawkins, who was at his former table in the Pavilion Room.
Hawkins laughed and smiled, and as Nelson finally left the room he said, "Where ever that guy gets his money, there's probably a lot more!"

Back in Australia, Bruno Portaro is known as somewhat of a loose cannon. Not because he's a perceived donkey or anything of that nature, but just that Portaro likes to have fun when he plays poker by mixing it up and playing an array of hands.
Although Portaro has no results on this side of the Pacific Ocean, he has amassed over AU$210,000 in lifetime earnings from 31 cashes although the majority of his time is spent on the cash game tables.
With Portaro traveling out to Las Vegas for the last few years to play the WSOP, he spends time with his family and enjoys the sights, but always makes time to play the Main Event.
Today, Portaro chipped up early, and after getting moved from his starting table, he proceeded to flop top set holding . His opponent barreled into him, and when Portaro raised the river he couldn't find a call from his opponent. Still, he consequently raked in the pot, sending his count over the 100,000-chip mark.
