Two of the bigger stacks in the field have just been having a little chip-argument over at Table #448. Farzad Bonyadi and Patrick Cronin were two of our chip leaders yesterday and when we joined the action Cronin had a bet of 7,800 splayed out in front of him on the button. Bonyadi was seated in the hijack seat and he had a bet of 17,800 splayed in front of him. Back to Cronin and he popped it up to 29,900 and all eyes averted to Bonyadi. Bonyadi moved a tower of orange 5k chips into the middle representing a bet in excess of 100,000 and Cronin mucked instantly.

Then he pulled his chips back toward his stack. A moment later, he grabbed that 35,000 again and held it in a betting position. A few seconds later, it finally made its way into the pot.
for the boat. Bergman took a long last look at his mystery cards, mucked them, and paid off his debt.

was the money card for Charania. He improves to the spade flush, notching the double and moving his way up over 100,000 in the process.
flop. Ivey stuck in a raise to 11,500, though, and Lindgren tanked for a few long minutes before surrendering.
