Level 16
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
With just 31 remaining, those players have been sent on their first 15-minute break of the day.
Oh What Could Have Been
Level 16
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Two of the larger stacks remaining just clashed in what could have been a far larger pot, but the players chose to play it more cautiously, rather than just get it in preflop.
Action opened with Jacob Ferro raising to 14,000 in middle position and getting three-bet by Brett Feder on the button. Ferro opted to call and see a flop.
The flop came 
and Ferro checked. Feder bet 35,000 and Ferro called.
On the 
turn, the players both checked, and the 
came on the river.
Ferro now led for 25,000 and Feder said he had to pay it off and called.
Ferro showed 
for a turned pair of kings. Feder showed 
, which shortly after went into the muck.
Oh what could have been indeed.
