Average Chip Stack:  104,406
Feature Table Live Stream Link: https://www.twitch.tv/foxwoodspoker

There is around 25,000 in the middle, and the board reads 8♦4♦4♣. David Carleton checks in middle position, a second player in middle position bets 17,000, and Dmitri Pidrysotski raises to 35,000. Carleton confirms the 35,000 total, and pauses for over a minute before mucking his cards.  The player in middle position quickly shoves all in, and it's Pidrysotski's turn to tank.  Pidrysotski pauses for nearly two minutes before tossing in a chip to call for his tournament life.

Pidrysotski: Q♠Q♦
Opponent: A♣A♠

Pidrysotski is at risk, but only until the turn comes the Q♥ giving him a set to take the lead. The 10♥ river is safe for Pidrysotski, and the dealer counts down his 76,900 in chips and passes them from his opponent's stack. 

Dmitri Pidrysotski - 184,000

According to Will 'The Thrill' Failla, and the General, the General just doubled up shortly after the dinner break.

Failla explained that he opened to 5,000 in the cutoff, and the General shoved all in on the button for 60,000. The small blind also shoved all in for 30,000, and Failla called.

General: 9-9
Small Blind: A-Q
Failla: J-J

The flop came nine-high, and the turn and river were safe for General to double up, while the small blind was eliminated from play.

The General - 135,000

There is around 20,000 in the middle, and the board reads K♦7♥2♣3♥. Mike Azzaro checks in middle position, and Donald Lohr announces that he is all in.

Azzaro pauses for nearly two minutes before asking for a count. The dealer counts down Lohr's 17,000 stack, and Azzaro pauses once again. After nearly two additional minutes pass by, Azzaro hesitantly tosses in a chip to call.

Lohr: 9♣9♥ (pair of nines)
Azzaro: K♣10♠ (pair of kings)

"Nice call," Lohr says.

The 10♠ river only improves Azzaro's hand to two pair, and Lohr is eliminated from play.

Siegel: A♣8♦ (pair of eights)
Nunez: J♥J♠ (pair of jacks)

"Good call," Sigel says when he sees Nunez's over pair.

Unfortunately for Siegel, the 4♦ turn and 6♦ river do not improve his hand, and he is eliminated from play.

Ante: 100

Feature Table Live Stream Link: https://www.twitch.tv/foxwoodspoker

Ralph Macri was down to just 8,000 in chips a short while ago, and is now sitting with around 80,000, one of the larger stacks in the room.

According to Macri and a few players at his table, there was one key hand that turned things around for him.

Facing a raise, and a three-bet, Macri called in the small blind, and there were three players to see the 7-5-4 flop. 

Macri shoved all in for his remaining 6,000, the original raiser folded, and the player that had three-bet pre-flop tank called after a few minutes of thinking about it. 

"I hope you have eights," the player said, as he turned over his pocket nines.  Macri indeed turned over pocket eights, and needed to improve. 

The turn was a blank, but the river came a six, giving Macri a straight to more than double up. 

"I have been on a good run since then," Macri said with a smile as he pointed to the large stack of chips in front of him.
