Another day, another two bracelets won, but they were taken down in incredibly different circumstances. The events today on offer were the $5,000 NL event, last year won by James Mackey, and the $3,000 HORSE, an event for those who aren't quite interested in stumping up the cash for it's $50,000 big brother.

In the $5,000 NL event, Scott Seiver came into the tournament with a dominating chip lead, nearly three time as much as his nearest rival. He quickly demolished the other Scott at the table, with a classic 57-43 battle with Seiver holding the queens against Scott Freeman's A♦ K♦, the latter though flopped a flush draw to become favourite, but bricked out when he needed it the most.

General craziness would follow when Adam Geyer got all-in with nines against Seiver's aces, flopping a nine in the process only to be rivered by a third bullet hitting the river for a good old fashioned re-suck.

And just in case you found that hand to be pretty boring then Anders Henriksson's exit might be a little case of deja vu for you. He got it all-in with nines on a K-8-9 board against Ben Sprenger's aces, but, you guessed it, there was yet another case of the Barry Greenstein special, the ace on the river!

Seiver meanwhile continued his domination, knocking out Chuck Sklar with A-A vs A-K, while he then dispensed with Rajesh Vohra thanks to winning a coinflip, before knocking out Jacob Fernandez with A-8 vs K-K, having already got him all-in multiple times.

Dave Seidman, the only player who'd really been able to challenge Seiver at any point, hit a flush to knock out Sprenger, but ultimately failed to stop Scott Seiver, when the latter flopped top pair against Dave's second pair to ultimately seal bracelet victory.

In the other final, a star-studded line-up took part in an action packed HORSE event that saw the lead swap multiple times. Going into the event, Hoyt Corkins was the chip leader, but not by much.

Many people's favourite for the bracelet, Jennifer Harman, was first out, she lost two big hands to Doug Ganger, first in the O8, and then in the Razz, where Ganger's seven-low was good enough to knock her out. Rostislav Tsodikov quickly followed her in the stud-hi game, his nines coming unstuck against Jan Voertmann's pair of queens.

Full Tilt Pro Steve Zolotow was out next, he had a pair of nines all-in on fourth street against Hoyt Corkins four-flush in the stud, the cowboy caught the A♠ on the river to bust his opponent. In the same round, Jared Davis also went out, running smack bang into Voertmann's trip aces.

Only 3rd for the Flying Dutchman.

Hoyt himself would be the next out, he got involved in a big pot with K-Q vs Marcel Luske's A-9, a lot of money going in preflop and the rest on the A-K-T flop with Hoyt failing to hit the paint he needed. Luske then had probably the most rollercoaster-esque finish to a tournament, you could ever imagine.

He went from chip leader to having just a couple of big bets left, to getting back up into the thick of things, only to go out in the stud with nines, (what was it about nines losing today?!) when Jens Voertmann, caught, yes once again, an ace on the river to leave Voertmann heads-up against Doug Ganger.

Voertmann eventually triumphed, making jacks and fives against Ganger's nines and eights to scoop the first bracelet of the series for Europe and of course, the added bonus of all that money!

In the other events, the two that played down to the final table today were the $2,500 PLO/PLHE which has become dominated by five time bracelet winner Allen Cunningham, who will be a heavy favourite tomorrow. In the other event, the $2,000 NL, Blair Hinkle, the brother of event 2 winner Grant Hinkle, will go into the final table second in chips, for what could make an already happy family even more ecstatic.

Meanwhile, in the events that started today, the Razz finished with Barry Greenstein on top, with David Levi and Vanessa Rousso not too far behind.

But most of the eyes were focused on the $10,000 heads up championship, Chris Ferguson, the favourite in many people's eyes, managed to make it to round 3, but there lost to fellow Full Tilt player Andy Black.

Players who did make it through the day included Sammy Farha, as well as bracelet winners Gavin Griffin and Vanessa Selbst, though the pick of tomorrow's heads up matches looks to be the battle between Erick Lindgren and Kenny Tran.

Meanwhile, look out for the sheer madness of tomorrow, it's the $5,000 PLO rebuy. Expect them to be having to sweep up the money from the floor...
