A very dejected Williams Reynolds has just been told to get back in his chair. Reynolds thought he was out after that last hand against Brito, but instead he has 22,000 chips left. Hs duly takes his seat and when the action folds around to him he plonks them into the middle. A few folds later and Joshua Pedraza made an isolation raise to 55,000 but Bradley Lipsey also wanted to join in the fun from the big blind.
Flop:
Pedraza bet 75,000 and Lipsey folded. So we had a showdown and when the cards were turned over, Reynolds bad luck had seemingly followed him into this hand.
The turn was the but the river handing Reynolds two pair and one last breath of oxygen.

Reynolds:
Brito:
Reynolds held bottom two pair while Brito had middle set. Reynolds was basically done, but anything can happen. The on the turn sealed the deal and the on the river only rubbed it in. Brito had 25,000 less chips than Reynolds so Reynolds is in with barely one big blind.

So far today, there is only one man having a greater day than Stephen Reynolds, and that is our chip leader Joey Weissman. Here he is winning more chips.
We joined the action on a flop of with Jimmy Fradettedufour (SB) and Joey Weissman (BB) in the hand. It was Weissman who made the first aggressive motion when he bet to 46,000 once checked too. Fradettedufour responded by check-raising to 126,000 and our chip leader just made the call.
Turn:
Fradettedufour very quickly dumped a pile of green 25k chips across the line. He then withdrew his hands, squeezed them tight and pressed them into his mouth. That was all you could see because his green hood and black cap covered the rest of his face. On the other side of things our chip leader was bare as can be, and the whole world could see what he was all about.
"I'm all-in," said Weissman.
Fradettedufour wiped some saliva from the corner of his mouth, checked his cards and then mucked. Weissman turned over the and dragged in his pot.
| Joey Weissman | 2,920,000 | 320,000 |
| Jimmy Fradettedufour | 320,000 | -580,000 |
