01-23-2010 23:01 UTC+11

Barry Greenstein raised to 15,000 from under the gun and Andrew Feldman reraised from the cutoff seat to 50,000. Tony Bloom was in the big blind and moved all in. Greenstein folded and then Feldman went into the tank. He used up all of his 30 seconds before tossing in one of his time-breaker chips. Eventually, he mucked what he said was two queens.

Feldman was left with 79,000 while Bloom moved up to 185,000.

Buying the Bar

donpeters

Tony G must be feeling pretty cheerful over on the feature table. He just bought a round of drinks for everyone in the audience. There's about 40-50 people up in the balcony railing the action and they all gave a round of applause to Tony G for the gesture.
