Newburger Doubles Up, Bronshtein Makes Big Laydown
Newburger pushes his last $150,000 chips from under the gun with 88.  Pete Lawson reraises the pot with AK, and action is on Bronshtein with AQ.  He stands and goes deep into the tank.  He finally says, "I have such a good hand," then folds.  The board brings no help to Lawson and Newberger doubles up to $325,000 chips.

Hour Four

Posted: Sun, Jun 24, 07, 12:00 PM

Lawson Doubles Up
Yuval Bronshtein raises with A9 and is reraised by Pete Lawson with JJ.  Bronshtein has been playing very aggressively, and commentator Shawn Rice made a good point.  He noted that Bronshtein was in an especially tough spot due to his aggressiveness.  He wasn't sure of if Lawson was playing back at him because he was raising so much, or if he truly had a big hand.  He ended up making the call, and the board came K8327.  Bronshtein guessed wrong, and Lawson doubled up.

David Zarrin Eliminated 5th ($52,874)
Lawson holds KQ in a three way flop with David Zarrin and Greg Hopkins.  He flops the joint when it comes A-J-10.  Zarrin leads out and Lawson raises.  Hopkins folds and the turn comes a 7.  Both players check and river is a Q.  Zarrin shoves and Lawson insta-calls.  Zarrin is eliminated in 5th place.

Break
Once again there is an unnecessary break.
 

Hour Three

Posted: Sun, Jun 24, 07, 11:00 AM

Bob Collison Eliminated 6th ($41,427)
Yuval Bronshtin raised with J4 and Collison reraised all in with Q9. Bronshtin made the call and the flop came K103. The turn was the 7 but the river brought the 4 sending Collison home in sixth place for a $41,427 payday.

Break
Players are on an extended break/TV timeout. These frequent breaks seem to be pretty unessessary.

Domination
Yuval Bronshtein now has around a $500,000 chip lead over his closes opponent, Greg Hopkins.
 

Hour Two

Posted: Sun, Jun 24, 07, 10:00 AM

Blinds raised

Gioi Loung Eliminated 7th ($31,070)
Loung raises with AK and Yuval Bronshtein defends his blind with K8.  The flop comes AK8, Luong bets and Bronshtein reraises.  Loung goes all in and Bronshtein makes the call.  One of the players at the table claimed he folded an eight, and Bronshtein is drawing to the case eight.  The turn is the case 8 and Bronshtein takes the lead.  The river bricks and Loung is done in 7th place for a 31,070 payday.
