One of the biggest and most interesting pots of the day just took place over on Table 31. Three players were involved, but only one came out victories: Sam Razavi. He is now the tournament chip leader with only 14 players remaining.
Michael Guttman raised under the gun to 25,000, and the players to his left, Gunther Hornung, called. Sam Razavi decided to three-bet to 100,000 after Vineet Jindal had folded. The other players folded all the way back to Guttman.
The dealer announced that the raise 100,000 total, or 75,000 more, was. Guttman thought it was 75,000 total, and threw in 25,000 chips short of the amount. At that point Hornung verbally announced "Call". The tournament director reminded both players that they had to put in the full 100,000, and three-way they saw a flop.
The flop came down 

, and Guttman moved all in for all of his 440,000 chips. Hornung had only 30,000 chips left, and called quickly as did Razavi who risked a huge portion of his stack. The total pot was around 1.2 million, and the following cards were shown.

"If you wanna have you fun you need some lubrication!" Razavi shouted as he couldn't help it but laugh. "I'm coming for you Mister Bentley! I've got the Rolls Royce now," Razavi added with a smile.
Moments later, in order to balance the tables, Wayne Bentley was moved over to Razavi's table. "You are just in time my friend!" Razavi said to Bentley who brought over his own big stack. We could see a huge British clash now!
