Level 27
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Christopher Gordon has been playing hyperactive since play resumed and first gave up a three-bet pot against Jesus Gracia. He then four-bet shoved for 2.8 million after raising 160,000 and facing the three-bet of Laurence Essa to 450,000. Essa tank-folded.
One hand later, Gordon called a 200,000-raise of Essa to see the flop of 
. A continuation bet of Essa for 250,000 was check-called by Gordon and the 
turn would see the very fast check-raise all in of Gordon. Essa had fired a second barrel worth 500,000 and eventually called off.
"For #### sake," Essa said when spotting the 
of his opponent before slowly turning over his own 
. The 
river ended the hand and suddenly pushed Essa towards the bottom of the counts.
