What'd You Say?

The Ante Up for Africa event is getting underway on the other side of the Amazon Room, and currently Phil Hellmuth has the microphone introducing all of the participants.

The PA is quite loud, and indeed a couple of the players over on our side of the room are asking about the possibility of moving to another room, which may or may not happen (it is still being discussed).

Amid the noise, Matt Hawrilenko just put in a raise before the flop, Robert Kay reraised to 160,000 from the button, and Hawrilenko called. The flop came a provocative {9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{8-Spades}. Hawrilenko checked, Kay bet 140,000, and Hawrilenko asked Kay how much he had behind.

Kay had to answer more than once to be heard -- about 1.1 million and change, he said.

Hawrilenko then reraised to 340,000. Kay thought about it for a couple of minutes, while three or four more celebs were being introduced, then folded, patting the felt and telling Hawrilenko he'd played a good hand.

Not sure the Full Tilt pro heard him.

Kay still has that 1.1 million, while Hawrilenko is up over 1.3 million.
