Ylon Schwartz and Shaun Deeb have been exchanging the chip lead back and forth all day, but Schwartz has just put some distance between him and the field after this hand. We picked up the action on fourth street when Adam Roberts was all in showing for an open ended straight draw, while Schwartz revealed for two pair. Schwartz didn't improve, but he didn't need to, as Roberts, who was looking for high cards, got the and . Schwartz is the first player over 100k, as he is sitting at 115,000.
Minh Nhuyen, Chip Jett and Andre Boyer all busted in the same hand to Alex Wice.
Nhuyen and Jett got their chips in with just one card up each. Boyer waited until fifth street, but Wice had already made trip Jacks. Nhuyen had trip eights by fifth and the other two players were drawing to runner runner.
Nhuyen boated eights full on sixth, officially eliminating the shortest stack, Chip Jett. Boyer had just a middle pair with one card left and was also drawing dead against the trips of Wice for a side pot. Wice, who has seemed extremely frustrated all day, threw down a paired king on seventh, scooped the pot and eliminated three talented players in the process.
We caught the action on fourth street, where Traniello bet, Seiver raised, and Lazarou put in a third bet. Traniello and Seiver called. On fifth, Traniello checked, Seiver bet, and both Lazarou and Traniello called. Traniello checked again on sixth and Seiver bet again, but this time only Lazarou called.
On seventh, Lazarou called another bet from Seiver, and opened up for queens and tens. Seiver mucked, leaving himself with 17,500 chips, while Lazarou is up to 52,000.
With just 51 players and a handful of big names left, its not uncommon to see two TV faces side by side. However, one table has put a new meaning to the term "table of death." Sitting next to each other in a row are Eric Buchman, Eugene Katchalov, Scott Seiver, Andy Bloch, and Chad Brown. It should be a very interesting table to keep an eye on.
Just ten minutes ago, we reported about how stacked table 282 was. After the last table break, you can now add Eli Elezra to that list, as he is taking the empty seat between Eric Buchman and Eugene Katchalov. Also, we are down to six tables, meaning that we are just eight spots from the money about an hour and ten minutes from the dinner break.

Buchman completed, Bloch raised, and Buchman was his only caller. Bloch led out on fourth street and Buchman called. After catching a pair on fifth, it was Buchman's turn to lead. Bloch called. Buchman again bet on sixth, Bloch called, and Buchman bet blind on seventh. Bloch sweated his last card, tanked momentarily, and tossed in two yellow T1,000 chips to make the call.
"Just a pair of fives," Buchman sighed.
Bloch tabled for a pair of aces, scooped the pot, and is now up to 77,000 chips. Buchman dropped to 46,000.
Bruno Stefanelli was in dire need of a double up with just about 2500 chips, and he got all of those in the middle on three street against Alex Wice, who was the only caller. Stefanelli flipped up for an early straight draw, and Wice showed for a baby pair. Wice would get two pair by the end, but Stefanelli had a better two pair with tens and nines, and took down the pot to boost his stack to 5,600. Wice dropped down to 28,000.
