flop we saw John Koo check-called a bet of 12,000 from Brent Harrington, and the turn brought the 
onto the table.
Koo checked once more, and Harrington followed suit.
The river brought the 
an Koo lead out for 17,000, which was called after some hesitation by Harrington. Koo tabled 
and he took down this pot.

The players are now on 15-minute break.
Both Boston Rob Mariano and Tyson Apostol seemed to be on their way to make deep runs in this event, but a man named Alex Huot put a halt to their aspirations.
"What does it take to get mentioned on the blog?" Huot asked with a smile, before explaining how he took out both Mariano and Apostol.
"It was a bit earlier, in the 300/600 level," Huot started out about how he took Apostol's chips.
After a raise to 2,000 Huot called with pocket nines, and two other players including Aposotol called. The flop brought was jack-high and Huot bet 4,000, only Apostol called.
On the turn another jack popped up and Huot checked to Apostol who moved all in for his last 7,000 with a mere 
. Huot's nine held up and he expanded his stack significantly.
A while later Huot doubled up Mariano with ace-nine versus ace-ten, only to get all the chips back a little while later. Mariano shoved over Huot's raise with ace-deuce and the man from New York City took out the Bostonian with ace-queen.

On the 
board, Jeff Jansen moved all in for 52,000 in a big pot. Dwight Ross was next up and called all in for slightly less than Jansen's shove. A third player in the hand tanked for a little bit, but folded.
Jansen tabled the 
for a flopped flush, Ross had the 
for a rivered two pair, but he lost the pot and was eliminated.
With that hand, Jansen stacked up to about 175,000 in chips.
