As Tournament Director and Thunder-Dome announcer Robbie Thompson stated, "Lets play a little higher!"
With only sixty-big blinds shared between the two players, many will be expecting for this to end soon. But with the way these two have been playing, it could be a long day (and possibly) night for the players, railbirds and media members.
Michael Blanovsky opened for his usual 240,000 and Arkadiy Tsinis made the call to see a flop fall.
Tsinis led for 325,000, but Blanovsky responded by moving all in for roughly an additional 3.4 million. Tsinis folded while slipping to just over 5.3 million and Blanovsky moved to 4.5 million in chips.
Arkadiy Tsinis limped the button only to have Michael Blanovsky bump it up an additional 240,000. Tsinis called as the flop was greeted by a Blanovsky continuation-bet of 545,000.
Tsinis opted to pass, and Blanovsky captured the pot to close the gap between the two.
