Once the river was dealt we had a
board. The player in the small blind checked to Willie Tann, who bet 6,700, which was about half his stack. The pot had well over 10,000 in there and after the call was made, Tann turned over 
.His opponent tapped the table with his hand and mucked his cards. A smiling Tann is up to 31,000 now.
Willie just gave me a blueberry muffin to chomp on as well, so it's a happy corner of the Empire right now.
We heard about him forcing Patrik Antonius to lay down in a big pot earlier. Well news has reached me that he finished the job off a while later. Adams took another few thousand off the Finn in one pot, before calling a now short-stacked Antonius' all-in bet with
. Antonius had 
and when the board bricked out Antonius was busted.Next up for Adams was a tussle with another short-stacked Full Tilt pro, namely the man who finds it hard not to cash, Nikolay Evdakov. It all went in preflop and Evdakov was dominating Adams with
versus 
. The board ran
to double the Russian up to 16,000 and keep his hopes of yet another WSOP cash alive.

, Isaac Haxton is all in. The gentleman in seat nine now disappears into the tank for some minutes, his hands over his face. When he emerges from the tank, he calls, and mucks when Haxton turns over . There is some surprise at Haxton's hand from the the table, who seem to have been expecting a full house at least. Nevertheless, Haxton catapults up in the chip standings with around 65,000, while his opponent, his stack reduced to small change, made his exit soon after.
In a preflop all-in encounter, Ayaz Manji decided to gamble with

and the best hand held up and the Portuguese player leaves the feature table.
With 15,000 in the pot by the turn of the
board, Rybachenko checked to Dirksen who bet 7,000. A pause from Rybachenko, then a call.Come the
river, Rybachenko checked again, and this time Dirksen bet 11,500. Another pause, and another call -- and this time a muck when Dirksen turned over 
.
I reached one table to see Jeff Kimber shaking his head. He was just passing a bunch of chips over to Nikolay Evdakov after his
was cracked by Evdakov's on the 
board. That left Kimber on 24,700.Then I turned to see Jacques Zaicik getting up from his seat after his
was crushed by Goran Gratte's 
on a board containing and ace and a king.I then turn to find the Russian, Nikolay Evdakov, in the mix again reraising a Antony Lellouche's raise all in. Lellouche made the call with
and was racing Evdakov's . The board came nine-high, enabling Lellouche's stack to grow to 37,000. Evdakov's on 13,000 after the double-up-double-down. And breathe....
