Stewart Scott has the button in Seat 5. Zach Gruneberg makes the opening raise to 60,000. Elliot Smith calls in position. Everyone else passes, bringing us to our second flop. It comes out {A-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {3-Hearts}. Gruneberg is first to act and wastes no time in betting 70,000. Smith is still as stone for thirty seconds, then grabs eight chocolate (25,000) chips and puts them in the middle -- a raise to 200,000. Gruneberg quickly calls. A big pot is developing.

The turn pairs the board, falling {A-Spades}. Gruneberg checks quickly to Smith. It takes Smith thirty seconds to grab ten chocolate chips and bet 250,000. Gruneberg quickly calls. The pot is now huge, with more than a million chips in it!

The river is the {10-Spades}, double-pairing the board. We may be heading for a chopped pot. Gruneberg quickly moves all in and Smith calls. Gruneberg shows {A-Diamonds} {9-Hearts}; he rivered a chop out of Smith, who shows {A-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}. It is indeed a chopped pot. Gruneberg got off lucky there.

Zach Gruneberg has the button in Seat 1. Stewart Scott opens the pot with a raise to 55,000. Peter Rho, absent-mindedly riffling chips with his right hand, takes about twenty seconds before reraising to 150,000. Action quickly folds back to Scott, who double-checks his cards before flashing the {A-Clubs} and surrendering his hand.

Hand #5 - Barny Boatman

Sam Capra has the button in Seat 8. Stewart Scott raises to 55,000 and Sam Capra calls on the button. Barny Boatman, in the big blind, moves all in and gets a quick fold from Stewart Scott. Sam Capra leans back in his chair and strokes his chin for a minute before letting go of his hand as well.

Barny Boatman shows {K-Hearts}{K-Spades} as he collects the chips and bumps his stack to roughly 500,000.

Rajkumar Ramakrishnan has the button in Seat 7. All players fold to Sam Capra in the small blind. He limps into the pot and Zach Gruneberg checks his option. We have a flop!

{K-Spades} {5-Spades} {7-Spades} is the flop. Capra reaches for chips and makes it 70,000 to go. Gruneberg quickly mucks.

Hand #3 - Barny Boatman
