Brandon Adams min-raised from the button and November Niner Matt Jarvis (not to be confused with our own Matt Parvis!) called to see a 
flop. He checked it to Adams, who bet 5,000 - but after a brief tank, Jarvis made it 13,000 to go, and Adams quickly gave it up.
Adams - 23,000
Jarvis - 97,000
Such is the nearest phonetic approximation of the noise that came from Matt Jarvis' throat as Brandon Adams shoved from the button (not for the first time) and he made the call from the big blind.

Board: 
Adams duly doubled up to 34,000 or so - still in some trouble against Jarvis' 86,000.
Gus Hansen and Max Steinburg's match has been very cagey since their return from break. Hansen has just over 75% of the chips in play and seems wary of doubling his opponent up again. Steinberg, it seems, is waiting for the right spot to get them all-in and is treading water right now by picking up the blinds now and again with just over min raises.

No sooner had Brandon Adams doubled up than the chips went back to Matt Jarvis.
Jarvis limped on the button before calling a raise to 7,000 from Adams. We thought it would fizzle into nothing as they checked the 
flop and 
river - but Adams bet out 9,000 on the 
river, only to lay it down to an unexpected raise to 20,000 from Jarvis.
Back to 20,000 for the hapless Adams...
Back into shoving territory, Brandon Adams open-shoved from the button, and Matt Jarvis swiftly called. It was a clinical affair for the plucky Adams.

The Timoshenko/Failla match has been a slow burner thus far. Coming back from the break with a chip deficit, Failla (who we learned flew straight over here and immediately jumped into the tournament in truly hardcore fashion) held his own despite constant small pressure from Timoshenko. No pots over 8k for 15 minutes, then this:
The usual raise to 4k resulted in a flop of 
- little action now, but 7,500, the most substantial bet seen all level, came from Timoshenko when Failla checked to him on the turn. The river was the 
. Check to Timoshenko again (Failla now down under 20k) and after a very still, fairly long pause, he checked behind. He was rewarded with one of those, "You win, I missed" headshakes and preparations-to-muck, so he turned over 
which was, as it turned out, good.
Will Failla is busto now, running his top pair of Kings into the 
of Timoshenko who'd hit two pair and finished off the remainder of his stack.
