With well over 1,000,000 in the middle and 2♣10♠6♥6♣ on the board, Jesse Kandola checked from the small blind before [Removed:456] bet 650,000 from the big blind. Haim Gabay called from the button but Kandola shoved 2,125,000 and sent Martin into the tank.

Martin used three time banks and called before Gabay shrugged and leaned forward. He used two time banks of his own and announced that he was all in with Martin covered.

Martin went into the tank once again and used another time bank before he ultimately got out of the way. Gabay turned over 9♠6♠ for three sixes and Kandola had A♥10♥ for the top pair of tens.

The board finished up with 5♥ and Kandola was out of the tournament in fifth place for $165,379.

A Patient Start

Level 28 : Blinds 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante

Jesse Kandola raised to 275,000 from the button and Neel Murthy called from the big blind.

The flop was A♥K♣A♦ and both players checked to see 6♦ on the turn. Murthy checked again and Kandola tossed out 250,000.

That was good enough to take the early pot.

Players are feeling one another out in early action and the chip counts have not changed much.
