Coming up on the last break for Flight 1D, and with 162 players remaining from a Flight 1D field of 492, the average chip stack is about 60,700 (38 big blinds).

Here is some of the action from the field:

After a flop of , the under-the-gun player bet 5,000, a player called from middle position, and Scott Efron moved all in from the button for 17,300. The UTG player moves all in, and the middle-position player folded, claiming a flush draw.

Efron showed for a pair of queens, and his opponent turned over for the same pair of queens with a lower kicker. Efron needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

The turn was the , the river was the , and Efron won the pot with two pair, aces and queens, to double up to about 51,000 in chips (32 big blinds).

A few minutes later at the same table, Jessica Dawley raised under the gun to 3,400, and the short-stacked player on the button moved all in for 8,200. Dawley called with , and the short stack was ahead with .

The board came — both players flopped pairs, and Dawley picked up a diamond flush draw on the turn, but missed her outs. The short stack doubled up.

Dawley smiled and said something along the lines of, “You never win when you pick up a bunch of extra outs on the turn. It’s just a tease.” Dawley is still in decent shape with 45,000 (28 big blinds).

The back corner of the room saw a three-way all-in situation, but it was very one-sided. Anthony Ruttler had the biggest stack of the three with on the button, and he was up against a middle-position player with and the big blind’s .

The board came — Ruttler flopped a set, turned a full house, and rivered quad nines to win the pot. Nobody else ever even had a chance. That pot set Ruttler up nicely, giving him a total of 118,000 (74 big blinds).

The field is about to take their last 15-minute break of the day, and then two more 30-minute levels before wrapping up for the night.
