Matt Vengrin would like the world to know he has the chip lead... in black chips. They're actually the gray T100 chips, the lowest denomination in play. Vengrin has cornered the market on that color, sitting with more than 45,000 worth of them.

We've just hit 43 players, so play has now reverted to hand-for-hand mode - only one bust-out to go until we hit the money.

No sooner had we had written up our last post, we got up only just in time to see Stefan Rapp walk out the door. We weren't able to catch any details of the hand, but we're sure that the 42 players that remain aren't that fussed about it - all they care about is the fact that they're guaranteed to make some bank!

Travis Erdman is standing up behind his chair with his head on a swivel, and it appeared he was waiting around for his payout slip. We hustled over to the table to see Erdman's square vacant of chips and Shaun Deeb re-arranging a massive tower in front of him. Deeb saw us peeking and filled us in.
"Ace-king versus pocket sixes. All in preflop. Ace on the river."
We couldn't have said it any better ourselves. With that knockout, Deeb is all the way up to 225,000 and out in front of the pack.

Don McNamara: / /
Lyle Berman: / / MUCKED
Cyndy Violette brought-in with a king showing before McNamara completed from the four-seat; Berman called and Violette got out of the way. McNamara bet out on fourth, fifth and sixth streets and Berman called before both players checked their option on seventh street. McNamara's hand was best and he took down the pot, but both players are now hovering around the 110,000-chip mark as a result.
Limit Hold'em
Jared Davis started the day with just 9,800 chips, and he's worked that up over 100,000 here as the night goes on. The last pot was just sick. Davis opened with a raise from the button, and the player in the small blind had 3/4 of his chips committed already. He went ahead and called all in for 4,000 dark, and he was heads-up with Davis.
Davis announced that he had jacks ( ), and the all-in player didn't like it. Until, that is, he turned over his cards for the first time, revealing ! How quickly things change. And then change back. The flop ripped off , and the whole table reacted with stunned a unison, stunned, "Ohhhhhh!" The turn and river came and , and the short stack has been eliminated.
With that pot, Jared Davis climbs to 112,000 and into the realm of the big stacks.
Stud
We picked up the action on fifth street as Meikle Partin was getting awfully short on chips. His board showed (x-x) / , and Tad Jurgens was working with (x-x) / . On fifth, Partin bet, and Jurgens tanked and called. On sixth, Partin bet his , and it left him with just 300 lonely chips. Jurgens pulled the , and he announced the call before he realized the remainder, so the two men just went ahead and put the rest of the money in. Partin didn't like it, but he was well ahead. He showed in the hole, and Jurgens could only muster . On seventh street, Partin drew the to make two pair and take some of the sweat off, needing only to dodge a jack now. Jurgens flipped over the , though, and Partin has doubled up to around 40,000 with that life saver.
No-Limit Hold'em
Kevin Chance raised to 4,200 from UTG +1 before Brian Powell called from the cutoff. "Miami" John Cernuto, who only had 2,500 left, committed the rest of his chips from the big blind, so Chance and Powell went heads-up to the sidepot after the dealer spread the flop of .
Chance led out for 6,400 and Powell called, but he quickly folded after Chance fired out 14,800 on the turn of the .
Showdown
Chance:
Cernuto:
Needing any king or jack, Cernuto was sent to the rail after the blanked out on the river. At least Miami will be able to take pride in his efforts, unlike a certain highly-paid athlete that choked in the NBA Finals.
Yeah, we totally went there.
