Scott Fischman raises to $45,000 from the cut-off and Chris Moore adds $66,000 to the wager from the big blind. Fischman moves all-in and more is forced to mull over a call for his tournament life. Eventually he does make the call and shows pocket queens to Fischman's A K, and the board comes 9 4=2 7 8, giving the race to Moore and forcing Fischman to ship all of $468,000 across the felt to the young turk in the nine seat. Fischman is left with around $200,000, while Moore takes down the million dollar pot and is now the chip leader.

Chris Moore raises to $45,000 from under the gun and Michael Mizrachi pushes all-in on the button for an additional $166,000. Moore mulls his options for a few minutes before finally making the call and showing a head-scratching Q T to the Grinder's 6 6. The board comes Q 9 2 K K and the Grinder packs up Adililly and hits the trail in seventh place, adding $48,015 to his bankroll in the process.

Chris Moore raises to $50,000 from the hijack and Johnny Chan moves all-in on the button for another $110,000. The blinds fold out and Moore makes the call, showing 8 8. "Thank you," says Chan as he shows A 9. "It's pretty much an even-money shot."

Even money or not, the board comes K 2 2 4 K and Moore takes the pot with kings and eights, sending Chan to the rail in eighth place and adding $38,412 to the coffers of the Orient Express.

Johnny Chan raises to $35,000 from the hijack and Scott Fischman bumps it another $70,000 from the small blind. Chan flat calls and the flop comes Q T 3. Fischman immediately moves all-in for his last $217,000 and Chan beats him to the pot with A A. Fischman is in a bad place with A K, but the turn is the J to give Fischman the Broadway Straight. The river is the 9 and Scott Fischman has sucked out on Johnny Chan. It's difficult to tell who looks worse about the whole thing - the disgusted-looking Chan or Fischman, who looks about as sorry as someone can be without actually being repentant.

On a board of Q Q 8 6, Michael Mizrachi bets out $50,000 and Zachary Hyman is immediately all-in for about $300,000. Grinder is perturbed, telling Hyman he must have quads, and mulling over the damage the call will do to his stack before finally mucking J J face-up. Hyman shows A A as he takes down the pot, and suddenly the gallery is aghast at the Hyman's audacity.

Within a few minutes of the commencement of play, Chau Giang and Zachary Hyman get all the money in preflop, Giang with A-J and Hyman with pocket kings. The board comes J-6-4-8-Q and Giang has been eliminated in 9th place. He takes home $34,571 and gets a pleasant Sunday afternoon to himself.
