Jacob turns up 8 [/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]while Porter has A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and will need to improve. However, the board comes J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]6[/SIZE][SIZE=3]J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]A[/SIZE][SIZE=3], spiking an 8 for Jacob on the flop and boating him up on the turn and he doubles up.

On a flop of A-K-10, both Bellande and his opponent are aggressively betting into each other. When a Queen hits on the turn, both start to slow down. The river puts a Jack on the board, they both share the nuts as Bellande flips up A-K and his opponent shows K-10.

The turn brings the 5[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and Guagenti leads out with a $2,000 bet, which Ho calls. The river puts the 5[/SIZE][SIZE=3]on the board and both active players again check. Guagenti flips up J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and Ho mucks. Phan shows A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]as he leaves the table. Guagenti eliminates Phan and rakes in the pot. Guagenti now sits with $36,000 while Ho is down to $45,000.

Jean-Robert Bellande ($13,000) thinks for awhile and pushes his chips forward, but not over the call line. Bellande then folds and Turner flips over 8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]3[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Bellande has $8,500 and Turner has $52,000. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Thu Jul 20 01:01:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]57 Players[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]There are 57 players left.

All remaining players are in the money. The blinds at this level are $600-$1,200. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Thu Jul 20 01:31:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Spiro Makes Big Lay Down[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Spyridon Mitrokostas ($25,000) raises under the gun making it $2,800 to go. Lee Markholt ($35,000) calls from the small blind. The flop comes Q [/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]4[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Markholt checks and Mitrokostas bets $5,800. Markholt thinks for awhile before raising $15,000. Mitrokostas now thinks for around five minutes. Many players from all the other tables are watching since they're all done with round for round play. Finally Mitrokostas makes the laydown, showing K-Q with no clubs. Markholt says, "You think you made a big laydown?" And then he flips over Q-Q for a set. Markholt improves to $45,000 and the grateful Mitrokostas still has $16,000.

The turn and the river are the 7[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and the 3[/SIZE][SIZE=3], and Powsner is eliminated in 53rd place. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Thu Jul 20 01:46:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Parsons Goes In With Worst, Comes Out With Best[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Jeffrey Aebischer ($10,100) goes all-in. Gary Parsons ($12,000) thinks for awhile before calling. Jean-Robert Bellande ($10,000) says, "Boys, I can normally lay this down but I want to play the event tomorrow ($5,000 No-Limit shorthand)," and calls. Bellande's intuition was right as he turns over Q [/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3], but Aebischer has K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Parsons has the worst of it with 5[/SIZE][SIZE=3]5[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The flop comes 9[/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]3[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Bellande again has a feeling and says he thinks Parsons deserves a five. The five hits (5[/SIZE][SIZE=3]) and now both Bellande and Aebischer are one card away from elimination. The 8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]hits on the river tripling up Parsons, and sending home both Bellande in 52nd place and Aebischer in 51st. They both collect $3,232.
