Gregg Merkow calls, having both covered, and turns over A [/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. However, Merkow is in trouble when Seif flips up A-K and Douglas has both beaten when he shows pocket 8's. The flop is a miracle for Merkow when it comes A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]5[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and the turn and river fail to improve either Seif or Douglas as they come 9[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and 7[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and Merkow eliminates both players.

Sebok flips up J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The turn and the river are the 8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and the K[/SIZE][SIZE=3], and Sebok is eliminated. Balandin is up to about $72,000 in chips. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Mon Jul 24 14:45:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]McCrink Doubles Through Morgan[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Jim McCrink moves all-in preflop for his remaining $32,000 and is called by Jordan Morgan, who has him covered by about $48,000. Morgan shows pocket Queens and is behind when McCrink flips up pocket Kings. The board comes A [/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]5[/SIZE][SIZE=3]J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]A[/SIZE][SIZE=3], improving neither player and doubling up McCrink. McCrink now sits with $64,000, while Morgan's stack is down to $48,200.

Tony G. ($107,000 before the hand) thinks for a long while before calling. Spadavecchia flips up A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]for the second nut flush and Tony G. mucks.

The big blind eventually folds and Tony G. flashes the 8 [/SIZE][SIZE=3]to a Card Player reporter while laughing. Upon realizing that Tony G. bluffed, Brenes erupted with, "Did he show? Did you bluff?"[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Tony G. responds, "I'm going to raise [I]every [/I]hand!"[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Humberto shoots back, "I bluff you again! You come to Costa Rica.

Mahaney shows A [/SIZE][SIZE=3]A[/SIZE][SIZE=3], dominating Leigh's Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The flop (K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][SIZE=3]2[/SIZE][SIZE=3]) is safe for Mahaney, but the turn (J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]) gives Leigh nine outs (any Queen, Jack, or 10). The river is the Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Leigh makes two pair to eliminate Mahaney in 38th place. Leigh now has $40,000 in chips.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Mon Jul 24 16:08:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Bartholdi Pushes In Against Merkow[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Greg Merkow raises ($108,000) from the button and Joe Bartholdi ($76,900) reraises in the big blind.

[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Mon Jul 24 16:10:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]James Van Alstyne Receives Penalty[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]James Van Alstyne receives a 10 minute penalty when he calls a tournament director an "idiot." The disruption arose when a tournament director took issue with a $5,000 chip that Van Alstyne had in his stack. Those chips were not yet supposed to be in play. Van Alstyne claims that he received the chip from a different tournament director yesterday when he had asked to be colored up. Van Alstyne says that the tournament director today dug into the matter without "simply asking" Van Alstyne how he'd gotten it. He says that while the director was doing this, his table was playing shorthanded and went longer than it should have without breaking. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Van Alstyne says that this delay, and the fact that the director did not simply approach him about the issue, are the reasons he called the director an "idiot."
