Conway's Tournament
Chris Dombrowski raised to 12,500 under the gun, Thomas Conway in the cutoff re-raised to 30,000 and the big blind went all in for 62,500. Dombrowski folded and Conway called.
Conway was behind with 
against the 
of the big blind. The flop came down 
giving Conway an inside straight draw.
The turn was the 
giving three of a kind to the big blind but the straight to Conway. The river was the 
and Conway moved up to 250,00 as the player in the big blind hit the rail.
A player at his table then said, "Thomas, this is your tournament, you've made some pretty sick draws." Conway just shrugged. Only time will tell if it really is his tournament

Veldhuis Hanging in There
Livello 18
: 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Lex Veldhuis' stack has remaining fairly steady throughout the day, neither growing or shrinking too much, but he was able to chip up some in a recent hand.
Veldhuis opened to 12,000 from the button and both blinds called.
Everyone checked the 
flop. When the 
hit the turn, the big blind led out for 6,000 and the other two players called. Both blinds checked to Veldhuis on the river, and Veldhuis fired an 18,000 bet. The small blind folded but the big called and mucked when Veldhuis tabled 
.
Veldhuis is currently sitting with about 160,000.
A Rolercoaster of Emotions
When we got to Table 373 we found Jason Somerville raising preflop, too little success. Michael Glasser made the call on the button, as well as James Schaaf and Eric Afriat.
After all the chips were put in the pot we were off to see a flop of 
where the action folded to Somerville and again he bet, this time 18,000. The action was next on Glasser who raised and made it 50,000 total. Darian folded, and to everyone's surprise Afriat moved all in. Somerville instantly folded, and Glasser exclaimed "F***!" in furstration. It was only 10,000 more to Glasser so he made the call.
Cards were flipped and it was Glasser's 
that was ahead of Afriat's 
up and down straight draw. Glasser was super excited, but on the turn he was again sent crashing down, as a 
hit. A meaningless was spiked on the river and Afriat more than doubled up.

Darian's Stack Dented
Livello 18
: 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
We caught up with the action on a flop reading 
, Yashar Darian fired a 20,000 bet and his lone opponent directly to his left called.
The turn brought a 
and both players checked.
Darian decided to fire when a 
completed the board, this time for 40,000. His opponent called and Darian showed 
for two-pair. However, his opponent tabled 
for a better two-pair and dragged the pot. Despite the loss, Darian is still sitting with a healthy 470,000 stack.
Conway Conned
We found Thomas Conway calling the all in of one of the short stacks at his table for 43,500 with 
. The short stack wasn't fooling around and held 
unfortunately for him ace king is not a good hand against pocket kings.
The dealer turned over the cards and the first three came out 
giving Conway's opponent Broadway and a nut flush draw. The 
sealed the deal as Conway's opponent hit his flush. The meaningless on the river was irrelevant and Conway shipped over 43,500 of his chips to his opponent.

Blocksidge Blocked
After a short stack moved all in for 38,000 the action folded around to Michael Blocksidge who made the call on the button. Cards were flipped and Blocksidge was the one with the advantage with . His opponent's 
was the one who was going to need help, but there were still five cards to come so it was anyone's hand.
The dealer put out five cards and they read 
Blocksidge's opponent had a set which was miles ahead of his ace high. Blocksidge has moved below average stack after losing this hand.
