Stephane Albertini raised to 135,000 to open the pot, and Hilton Laborda decided to play a pot with him out of position from the small blind. The flop brought 
for the two men, and Laborda check-called another 155,000. On the turn, though, he led right out into the pot with 260,000 of his own chips, and Albertini was the one doing the calling now. On the 
river, he faced one last bet of 360,000, and he tanked for a while before calling.

was pulled into the middle. It was good, and it moves him up to 3.505 million.

Shih:
Hewitt:
The flop came out 
giving Hewitt an up and down straight draw. "I like the sweat," Hewitt said.

helping Shih's cause. With one card to come and with ten outs against him Shih was standing.
The river came and Shih's aces held, doubling him up to over 3.3 million and Hewitt slipped to just over a million.

Stephane Albertini raised to 135,000 to open the pot, and John Esposito three-bet all in for 785,000 total. When it came back to Albertini, he wasted no time calling, and his was poised for the knockout as the short stack tabled 
.
The 
flop wasn't much help for the at-risk Esposito, but the turn 
opened up a world of outs. He needed to find a four, a three, or any club to stay alive, and the river will do just nicely. "Yeah, baby!" Esposito yelled as his rail erupted in celebration. Their guy has doubled up to about 1.75 million, still about a million back of Albertini.
