We came over to the table just as the pot was about to be shipped to Gavin Griffin. It appears as though he doubled up with 
on an 
board against an opponent’s 
. Griffin was up to 68,000 after the hand.
Layne Flack opened his button with a raise to 3,400 and both the blinds called as the dealer dropped a 
flop.
With the action checked to him, Flack pushed out a bet of 6,500 to force his opponents to quickly fold as Flack snatched the pot while moving to 120,000 in chips.
"How much you got there?" asked a player in the direction of Carter "ckingusc" King.
"I got 18,100, but also 1,200 in the big blind!" responded King.
Although not appearing in our original table draw, we are happy to report that King is still alive in the tournament, albeit a little on the short side as he sits with a little over 14 big blinds.

After her opponent pushed all-in for his last 9,000 chips, Valerie Cross took a few seconds before announcing a call. Cross showed her 
and found herself racing against her opponent's 
.
Flop: 
Cross paired her king and took the lead in the hand, while her opponent was left to call for a seven. The turn brought the 
and the other player picked up a gutshot straight draw, but the 
on the river was safe for Cross, forcing her opponent to the rail.

Jon "PearlJammer" Turner's big stack is starting to whither away.
When we caught up with the action, the board read 
(X)
and Turner's lone opponent checked to him from the hijack. The online phenom known as "PearlJammer" fired a 18,300 bet, sending his opponent into the tank.
Eventually, Turner's opponent made the call and revealed 
for a gutsy call on the ace-high baord as Turner mucked his hand, conceding the pot. His stack has slid to just over 100,000.
Event #8, Day 2
In one of the more entertaining aspects of tournament poker, the random draw which is used to seat players occasionally produces some coincidental moments that defy explanation. At one of the far tables, we spotted two players sitting right next to each other who were each wearing their Vancouver Canucks hockey jerseys.
With their favorite team is playing against the Boston Bruins in the Stanely Cup Finals on the television screens above them, both Brandon Ho and Dave Sims donned identical Roberto Luongo # 1 jerseys while competing in today's Day 2. When asked if they were friends, both players told us that they had never even met and were united simply by chance.
To complete the hockey themed table, Joseph Ward sat quietly across the table wearing his own Bruins sweatshirt, and told me that even though he is rooting against Ho and Sims in the game, both players were "really great guys" at the table.
Faced with a 2,600-chip raise before him, Oliver Gill three--bet to 8,400 from middle position.
His opponent made the call before setting Gill all in on the 
flop. Gill obliged, tabling his 
as his opponent held the lead with 
.
Unfortunately for Gill, the turn and river landed the 
and 
to end his tournament with an extra $1,880 in his pocket.
Jon "PearlJammer" Turner has been opening a lot of pots to mixed results as of late.
In a recent hand, Turner open-raised to 2,200 from the hijack position and was met with an all-in push to 13,000 from button. Turner didn't like it, but he reluctantly slid a call into the middle.
Turner: 
Opponent:
The board ran out and Turner was forced to pay off his opponent.
PearlJammer is still among the chip leaders, however, with a healthy stack of 120,000
