We missed Ray Romano's bust-out hand, but Anton Wigg filled us in on the details. Apparently, Romano open-jammed for 9,000 or so from under the gun holding 
, and a player in the big bling called with 
suited. The player in the big blind flopped a flush, an Romano's day came to a close.

Isaac Baron has been doing very well of late, seeing his chip stack rise above 70,000. We recently watched a hand involving Baron that started with the hijack player opening the pot to 800. The player on the button made the call, along with Baron in the small blind. On the 
flop, Baron checked and the hijack shoved all in for 6,450. The button player called and so too did Baron.
The 
turn would see Baron lead for 13,000 and the button player get out of the way as the all-in player and Baron would turn over their cards.

All-in Player:   |
Baron was too far in front for his opponent to come back, scooping up the pot as a 
on the river was too little too late.

We arrived at David Randall's table and found he had a player all in at risk.
Randall held , trailing the 
of his opponent. However, Randall pulled ahead when the flop came down 
to give him the ace-high flush. The 
turn gave his opponent outs to a full house, but the 
river was safe for Randall, adding about 27,000 to his stack.

David Williams is back under 20,000 in chips, courtesy of Steve McNally. The hand in question saw McNally open the pot to 825 from the cutoff. David Williams then three-bet to 2,000 from the button and the dealer would spread out a 
flop. McNally checked here and Williams bet 2,300. Both players checked the 
turn and it was on to the river. This time McNally would lead out for 5,800 and Williams would make the call.
When McNally turned over , the runner-runner flush was enough to swipe the pot off Williams.

Isaac Baron has continued his late run to sit ever-higher on the chip leader board, managing to scoop up another pot that played out like so. Folded to Baron on the button, he raised it up to 1,000. Both the small blind and the big blind would make the call and the dealer would ready three cards for the felt.
Flop: 
The small blind checked here and the big blind bet 2,500. Baron called and the small blind got out of the way. Both remaining players then checked the 
turn and it was on to the river. The small blind led out for 4,300 and Baron called. Baron then tabled 
, enough to send his opponent's cards into the muck and rake in the pot.

Over at the ESPN featured table sits last year's Main Event champ, Pius Heinz. We don't know exactly how the action went, but the flop read 
and Heinz moved all in for 7,775. Action moved over to Heinz's opponent who took about a minute deciding his course of action. In the end he opted to call and threw out the right amount of chips to put Heinz at risk. Cards were then tabled and it was Heinz who was ahead.
Heinz: 
Opponent: 
Both players had flopped flushes, but it was Heinz's that was superior. A on the turn, and a 
on the river sealed the deal and Heinz doubled up to around 27,500.

When we reached the table, the board read 
, and there was about 35,000 in the middle. Roman Valerstein checked, and Zach Hall moved all in for effectively 58,000. Valerstein folded face up and Hall showed 
.
"Wowwwwww," Valerstein blurted. "Why would you do that?"
Hall laughed, and raked in the pot, pushing his stack over 100,000 chips.
