The four remaining players will now take a twenty-minute break.
Stud-8
John Juanda was the bring in, and he raised it up following the completion from Bill Chen. Juanda led the betting on every street with Chen calling him down.
Juanda: (
) / 
Chen: (
) / 
Both players were a little relieved as Juanda showed deuces and the only low as Chen took the high with just a pair of sixes.
"I'm pretty blessed!" laughed Chen as they chop it up!
Stud
On third street, Phil Ivey completed, Bill Chen raised, Ivey re-raised and Chen called. Ivey led out on fourth and fired again on fifth when he paired up. Chen gave it up.
Ivey: (X-X) / 
Chen: (X-X) / 
As Chen's cards hit the muck he commented, "You win a pot from me...feels good?"
Ivey's response was simply, "It does."
Stud
Jeff Lisandro had fought back from the smallest of stacks earlier on this evening, but he wasn't able to do it again as his last chips went into the middle and never returned.
Lisandro was all in on third street against Kenneth Aldridge and the boards fell as follows:
Lisandro: (
) / 
/ (
)
Aldridge: (
) / 
/ (
)
Both players started with a pair in the hole, but neither improved, leaving Aldridge's eights to take the pot and eliminate Lisandro in 5th place for a collect of $68,417.
Stud
Catching the action on fifth street, Kenneth Aldridge fired a bet and Jeff Lisandro called. Aldridge fired again on sixth before calling off his last chips on the river.
Lisandro: (
) / 
Aldridge: (
) / 
Lisandro tabled a straight but Aldridge had made a full house to take down the pot and double up. Lisandro is left crippled with just 45,000 in chips.
Razz
Bill Chen now has a commanding chip lead following a rather interesting mutil-way razz hand. Kenneth Aldridge brought it in, Jeff Lisandro raised and Phil Ivey made the call. Bill Chen then re-raised and Aldridge called. Lisandro got out of the way and Ivey called once more.
On fourth, it was Aldridge who took the lead, and again he fired on fifth. The boards were getting raggedy by sixth, but Chen fired out a bet and his two opponents hung on before Chen fired again on the river. Aldridge made the call as Ivey folded.
Alrdridge: (X-X) / 
/ (X)
Lisandro: (X-X) / 
Ivey: (X-X) / 
/ (X)
Chen: (
) /
Chen showed a nine which was enough as he raked in the monster pot to move up to 2 million in chips. Ivey is down to 400,000 with Aldridge at 365,000.
Razz
Phil Ivey: (X-X) / / (X)
Bill Chen: (X-X) / 
/ (X)
Phil Ivey was facing a bet on the river from Bill Chen, and he just couldn't decide what to do. Ivey went into the tank and Chen decided to try some table talk.
Chen: "I caught it."
Ivey: "You caught it?"
Chen: "I had to have."
Ivey: "You had to have? Why?"
Chen: "You're too good for me to be talking to you."
Ivey: "We already started now!"
Lisandro: "Phil, you've got to make your mind up!"
Ivey decided to let it go and Chen raked in the pot.
