: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
In the last hand before break, Raul Paez was contemplating a bet from Joseph Hertzog on sixth street:
Paez: 
Hertzog: 
Paez made the call after a minute or so of thought, and the dealer tossed out seventh street. Hertzog fired again, and Paez made the call. Hertzog showed 
for a wheel. Paez cursed, slapping down 
for kings up.
Paez is down to just over a big bet now.

Daniel Idema bet into Young Phan with a pair on fourth street, and Phan called with two babies. Idema bet again after catching a brick on fifth, but Phan caught a ten, so he decided to roll with the hand.
"Let's go all in," he said. Idema obliged him.
Phan: 
/
Idema: 
/
Idema's tens led, but Phan had four to a low and a gutshot draw. Phan seemed disgusted after picking up the 
on sixth, and Idema caught a brick as well. Phan squeezed out a 
on the end, giving him a straight and a low, and he scooped the pot.
