Table 5 in action: It’s hard to argue when you don’t actually know what you are arguing about.
Can a player reraise when he is all in? An imponderable proposed on five which involved the floor. Once that was settled, Deaney had options to worry about to, facing Aditya and an all in and oddly fidgety Ryan Freeman, who seemed desperate to turn over his cards.
Deaney, orange, and Aditya, lavender.
Nevertheless, that was settled, too, and a three way pot commenced on 
, with Deaney and Freeman both holding, unknown to each other, unimprovable versions of the nuts, 
, and Aditya getting it in behind but very live with a gutter to a better straight and a flush draw.
When the 
fell on the turn and Deaney and Aditya got all the money in, Freeman looked positively ill, as he feared the sets and two pairs. The chop up of Aditya, who missed the river and is out, must have been a relief.
A few minutes later, uproar again, as Connelly got the money in and felted seat 8 with a full house.
Connelly, hefty again after nines full does the trick.
Adam Lippert is strong with 230,000.
Aleksei Vandyshev, now moved to 2, is showing signs of another run – 240,000.
We are on break and will return at 6:37 PM

A threat to everyone, including himself: Aditya is up and down as always, and now aided by a frosty beverage.

Bobby Dweck appeared as confident as one can with middle pair, all in against two hands.
That said, against 
and 
is a pretty favorable matchup.
All in, Bobby stands up in the two…
Cigar in mouth, Bobby faded the set outs and all the overcards – including the nut gutter that seemed to seal it for , and felted both his opponents.
…but it all worked out. He continues to chew on a La Fontana while counting his new stack.
Bobby goes from average stacked to over 80,000 and in great shape.
Meanwhile, back on 5 where Deaney and Connelly were battling, Deaney has prospered a little bit more, now with 65,000 to Coneelly’s 55,000.

On dark table Mike Connelly is on an uptick. First he got two streets with the old against Jerry Denney. However, when top pair paired on the river, Connelly slowed down – he’d been called by something else and won. No one’s favorite card, it seemed.
Connelly collects.
However, a pair of kings in the hand is apparently worth two on the board. He just used the second best hand in hold’em to felt a shortie with and move to double starting stack, 40,000.
Denny can’t win that hand, but has a stack and is in good shape so far.
Can the unpredictable be predicted? The tricky Aditya is already running up a stack on 6. That’s Wooyang Lin on his left, a Borgata tourney reg.
Re-entry! This player gets it in but is cooled off by KK, too, on 4. That’s tournament threat Victor Kartavtsev, right – he knows how to do it.
