Both players checked the 
flop and the 
turn. The player in the big blind checked a third time after the 
rivered and Lind bet 1,500. His opponent folded and he raked in the pot.

The big stack over at Isaac Haxton's table had raised to 500 from middle position with Haxton following up with a three-bet to 1,500 in the cutoff. When action folded around to the original raiser he made the call.

with Haxton's opponent checking. When Haxton fired in a bet of 1,500, his opponent tossed his cards away to end the hand.

Phil Gordon recently lost a big pot when his 
was dominated by his opponent's 
. Upon seeing that he wasn't totally out of chips, Gordon said "Hurry and bust me so I can catch my plane."
One of the other players at his table jokingly replied, "What chapter of your book is that in?"
Ain't it the truth?
Chad Batista raised to 450 from early position and a player in middle position moved all in for 2,500. Action folded back to Batista who paused for a second.
"You're a nice guy," Batista said before calling.
Showdown
Batista: 
Nice Guy: 
The 
gave Batista's opponent counterfeit outs and the 
on the turn brought even more outs. The river bricked however and Batista KO'd the nice guy, chipping up to 15,000.
With four levels in the books it's time for another 20-minute break.
Cya then!

PokerStars Team Pro Brazil member Maria "Maridu" Mayrinck is sporting some new bling today, but it's not hers.
Her current significant other, David "Bakes" Bakes, is letting her borrow his new WSOP bracelet for the day. Maybe it will bring her luck, maybe it will not. Maridu was kind enough and let one of our tournament reporters look at it as well.
"It's the closest you'll ever get to one," she joked.
PokerStars Team Online Pro George Lind just sat next to Maridu at Table 76. Lind has already cashed at this World Series finishing 10th in the $10,000 Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo 8 Championships for $43,833.
