Phil Collins fired 12,000 on the 
flop. His one opponent made the call before the turn brought the 
. Both players checked and the river paired the board with the 
. Collins fired 16,500 and his opponent. Collins is now over 300,000 in chips.
Yan Nieman opened in early position for 3,300 and Shaun Deeb took a moment before raising to 9,600. Action folded back around to Nieman and he called. The flop came

Neither hand improved on the board fo

Steven van Zadelhoff was in all in for his last 20,000 or so with
