12:20pm: The rich get richer
Paren Arzoomanian just won the first significant pot of the day and as a result he's extended his chip lead over the field.

He raised to 40,000 from mid-position and Elliott Hayes called from the cut-off. On the [Ad][Th][5d][2h][Ac] board Arzoomanian bet every street and Hayes called bets of 65,000, 130,000 and 250,000 on the flop, turn and river respectively.

At showdown Arzoomanian showed [Ah][5c] for a full house and Hayes mucked. -- NW
