Daniel Spencer raised from the hijack and Jonathan Zarin called from one seat over on the cutoff. Allan Le three-bet to 110,000 in the small blind. Only Spencer called and the flop came 
. Le continued for 55,000 and that won the pot without any further resistance.
Le also claimed the small blind and big blind the next hand by raising from the button to add some more chips to his stack.

Three-way to the 
flop in a single raised pot, Bruno Politano was first to act and he declared "All in!"
The dealer amended his statement, saying his bet was only for 84,000. The other players folded quickly anyway, and Politano smiled: "I know that it's only a pot, but I just love saying 'All in!'"

Allan Le raised to 25,000 and Daniel Spencer three-bet to 80,000 in order to force a fold from Le.
One hand later, Casey Carroll made it 35,000 to go on the button and Daniel Spencer three-bet to 117,000 in the small blind. Carroll reluctantly called and Spencer immediately bet the pot on the 
flop. Carroll had less than that behind — 239,000 to be exact — and was sent into the think tank for more than three minutes. He eventually called all in and the cards were tabled.
Casey Carroll: 
Daniel Spencer: 
Both the 
turn and the 
river blanked and they chopped it up. Spencer tapped the table and said "good call."
The next hand, Le raised to 25,000 and Spencer called on the button. Jonathan Zarin raised the pot and both opponents folded.

Bruno Politano was on the button and he announced "pot," making it 42,000. Jesse Chinni looked at Politano's stack, and then confirmed with the Brazilian 888 Ambassador that Politano had started with around 100,000. Chinni decided to defend his big blind, calling.
The flop fell 
and Chinni checked to Politano, who declared he was all in. Chinni folded instantly and Politano raked in the pot, earning "Vamos!" from his railbirds.

We've yet to see a major collision on Table 2 today. There hasn't been any three-bets yet and the vast majority of the pots have been won with a single bet.
Every chip matters and the players know it. They're showing some great awareness so far, trying to avoid any unnecessary damage.

: 6,000/12,000, 0 ante
Casey Carroll raised to 32,000 in the cutoff and Daniel Spencer three-bet to 90,000 on the button, with Carroll calling. On the 
flop, Carroll bet 100,000 and Spencer moved all in, and Carroll quickly called the shove.
Daniel Spencer: 
Casey Carroll: 
The turn and 
river were both blanks and Spencer doubled for 253,000. Adam Brown added "wow, sick hold," while Spencer raked in the pot.

If anyone could afford to arrive late, it was Igor Sharaskin. The chip leader missed the first 10 minutes of play, and the floor person asked other players at the table if they knew him. "Can you text him?" he asked.
Jesse Chinni joked about the situation. "We're not gonna text him," and the table burst into laughter.
However, Sharaskin has now taken his seat, ready to continue his hunt for the bracelet.

Daniel Spencer raised to 25,000 from the cutoff and Allan Le called in the big blind. On the 
flop, Le checked and folded to a bet worth 29,000.
A few hands later, Casey Carroll and Spencer were in a battle of the blinds and Carroll check-called a bet of 26,000 on the 
flop. Both checked the 
turn before Carroll's bet of 22,000 on the river won the pot uncontested.
