The remaining seven players are heading on a 5-minute break.
From the button, Tony Bloom raised to 25,000. He found two callers from the blinds; Sam Trickett called in the small blind and James Obst called in the big blind. The flop came down paired and with two clubs, 
. Trickett was up first and checked. Obst followed suit and then Bloom fired a continuation bet worth 45,000. After a tiny bit, Trickett check-raised to 90,000 and that prompted a fold from Obst. Bloom took some time and then made the call.
The that rolled off on the turn added a third club to the board and completed a flush draw. Trickett, out of position, bet out 135,000. Bloom sat for a little bit while the clock counted down. He used up nearly all of his allotted 30 seconds before announcing that he was all in. When he did that, Trickett leaned back, eyed Bloom's stack momentarily and then made the call.

"Got the 
David?" asked Lisandro.
"?" he added before making the call.
Benyamine didn't have the hands Lisandro thought, but instead tabled his 
for a flopped full house to collect the pot and move to 490,000 in chips.
