At the last break, Lanny Levine, who at the time just had 25,000, joked with us that he would soon have 100,000. Well we walked by his table, and saw that he had done well more then that, as he now had 250,000! According to him, he doubled through Shannon Shorr when he held on a flop. The money ended up getting in on the river, and Shorr had an inferior jack. Shorr is still in despite the hit, as he has 105,000.

We missed the precise preflop action but according to Mohsin Charania someone limped under the gun. The player in the hijack position raised it up but that was just the beginning of it. Zimnan Ziyard on the button made it 15,500 to go and Robert Brewer in the small blind bumped it up to 35,000. The limper folded but the hijack shoved all in for 153,500. Ziyard also went all in, for 114,000, and the decision was back on Brewer. He thought for a while but eventually folded, pocket tens he said.
The hijack had while Ziyard was in the driver's seat with . The flop was a little scary with but the on the turn and on the river were harmless.

"You just missed it man" said Charania as we approached table 445, "I just coolered someone!" Charania told us he had opened with pocket aces to 8,000 under the gun. Cy Watson had three bet right behind him to 20,000 and another player had made the cold four bet to 40,000. Charania made it 78,000 to go and Watson had pushed. The cold four better had folded his queens but Charania of course made the call. Watson tabled pocket kings but didn't get lucky. Charania now plays almost 450,000.

By the time we arrived the entire board was already out: | | . Wasicka had checked from the cutoff and his opponent on the button had pushed for 63,500. Wasicka was thinking about it hard. He only had 88,000 left so this was for most of his stack. The pot was already pretty big, though we could not count how big it was exactly.
The hand had started in level 16 but the new level was more than ten minutes underway already. This was a big hand, and a big decision. Eventually Wasicka grabbed his cards, took one more look at them and threw them open in the muck: .
