Argentinian Team PokerStars Pro Jose "Nacho" Barbero found himself donating some chips to Kevin Iacofono, but he's still cruising with over 89,000 in chips as the remaining 77 players keep on grinding here in the Amazon Room.
The action folded around to Iacofono who raised from the cutoff preflop; Barbero was the only caller and so it was heads-up to the flop of 
. Barbero check-called Iacofono after the flop, but quickly check-folded after Iacofono's bet on the turn of the 
.
It seems that Iacofono may have taken a few more big pots from Barbero earlier on in the day, because the staredown afterwards would have made Medusa turn to stone. Still, Iacofono's not fussed - he's now on 56,000 in chips and climbing.
Benjamin Scholl sent Abraham Watkins to the rail with his pocket aces.
Watkins opened up the betting and was called by Scholl pre flop. The board came 
. Scholl checked, Watkins bet, Scholl raised, Watkins three-bet, and Scholl called. The turn came 
. Scholl bet and Watkins moved all in for his remaing chips. Scholl showed 
and Wakins flipped up 
. The came on the river.
Scholl now sits with a little over 30,000 in chips.
Being down to her final 5,000 in chips, JJ Liu called a raise from the big blind and saw a flop of 
. Liu led out and was called by Michael Moore. The 
turned and JJ checked to Moore who bet her all in. Liu called tabling the 
for ace high. Thankfully for Liu, she was ahead of Moore's 
. The that hit the river was of no help to Moore and Liu doubled through.
A mere few hands later, we caught up to see Moore heads up in another hand with Liu where he bet on a 
flop. Liu raised and Moore made the call. The 
fell on the turn and Liu through out a bet that was called by Moore. When the 
hit the river and made a straight on the board, Liu moved her last bet in the middle for her all in, and Moore made the call.
Moore turned up 
for the straight on the board, but was heartbroken to see Liu turn over 
for a bigger straight, drilling her three-outer on the river.
You're always going to come across some colorful characters here at the World Series of Poker - after all, it's the biggest opportunity for anybody to become an instant superstar almost overnight.
Everyone wants a bracelet. Everyone wants their moment in the sun. Everyone wants to be noticed. But for one particular individual on table 372, he's acting up quite a lot for a guy that doesn't want to be identified. He's refused to give his name on more than one occasion to our reporters and has even hidden his PokerNews Tournament ID tracking card. So we're going to call him Mr. Hipster.
Mr. Hipster has been constantly bouncing around in his seat, flinging chips into the pot with reckless abandon, singing loudly along to the music blaring through his headphones and talking a lot of smack, so much so, that his tablemates are beginning to wonder whether or not hitting a player (in his case) could be considered "frowned upon".
Fortunately, he's been put back in his place after losing two pots in succession to Jim Meehan and Raymond Hinde. After Meehan's held up against his 
to double through him, Mr. Hipster then went three-handed to a flop of 
against Hinde and William Davis. "Two old-timers have me in a sandwich," Mr. Hipster sang.
Davis opened the betting to Mr. Hipster who quickly raised. Hinde called, as did Davis and so it was off to the turn of the . Davis checked, Mr. Hipster bet, Hinde flat-called and Davis folded, making it heads-up to the river of the .
Mr. Hipster opened, but Hinde snap-raised.
"So sick!" Mr. Hipster cried, pounding his fist into the table. "No way he's hit the nut flush on the river ... so sick!"
Mr. Hipster then melodramatically threw his hand away and Hinde smiled wryly as he raked in the pot. Mr. Hipster is now down to 40,000 in chips and there's a feeling amongst those around him that they'd rather see him with nothing left - and soon.

Barry Shulman was eliminated on his first hand after changing tables. The action folded around to Tom Brownscombe who raised from the small blind; Shulman called from the big blind and the dealer spread a flop of 
.
Brownscombe bet, Shulman raised and Brownscombe reraised Shulman all-in. Shulman called and flipped over 
for a pair of fives. Brownscombe showed a flush draw with .
The turn came the 
giving Brownscombe the nut flush. No help came on the river for Shulman when the came.
Brownstone now has 79,000 chips in front of him.
Jim Meehan has been nursing a short stack for a majority of this tournament and it seemed to be a strategy that was working for him. Every time we checked up on his stack he was never sitting on much, but he was still alive in the tournament and happy to be here. However, on the eve of making the money, the following hand occurred:
We caught up to see Meehan get it all in preflop against Darin Thomas.
Meehan: 
Thomas:
The board ran out dry for Meehan, coming up 
. Meehan gathered his cowboy hat and unlit cigarette and took to the rail, unable to capture his 20th WSOP cash.
Melanie Banfield has scored a massive double KO claiming the scalps of Las Vegas legend Archie Karas and former Day 1 chip leader Jerrod Ankenman to put herself and the other 62 players in the field into the money!
Karas came in with a raise from under the gun and the action folded around to Ankenman who reraised from the hijack. Banfield four-bet it from the button and both blinds folded before Karas five-bet himself all-in. Both Ankenman and Banfield called, so it was heads-up into a sidepot on a flop that read .
Ankenman led out and Banfield called, before Ankenman opened for the last of his chips on the turn of the . Banfield snap-called:
Banfield: 
Karas:
Ankenman:
"Ten of diamonds!" cried Domenico Denotaristefani. "Come on Melanie!"
Want to know what 2.27% feels like? You could ask Chase Berger from The Micros, but he's a fictional character. In this case, you should ask Ms. Banfield, for lo and behold, the 
spiked on the river! BOOOOOOM!!
Ankenman and Karas could only look on dejectedly as the dealer pushed the pot in Banfield's direction. Karas took one last look to make sure that his set wasn't good, then calmly walked away as the hugs and high-fives began.
