When we came to Andrey Lobzhanidze there was a flop showing and Lobzhanidze had led out for 1,000 with one opponent behind.
The player thought for a few moments before moving all in for 6,575. Lobzhanidze snapped his opponent off and said "wow" when the player turned over . The top-two pair was too good for Lobzhanidze's , with his two-pair needing help to catch up. The on the turn changed nothing and when the hit the river, it was into the muck for Lobzhanidze's hand.
Grant Levy has just picked up some needed chips and we were there to catch the action. An early position player opened it up to 1,000 before Levy three-bet to 2,525. The big blind player made the call, just as the player who opened did.
Flop:
When both players checked to Levy, he casually made it 4,700. this was enough to send cards flying into the muck as Levy took down the hand.
On the final board of , Hoi Ting Lee from Hong Kong fired a bet of 7,000 into Jose Severino from Panama. After a minute, Severino called. Lee turned over the for a straight to the ten. Severino mucked his hand and was kicked back to 33,000 in chips.
Much to the appreciation of the players in the tournament, the staff just announced that some sandwiches had been delivered and were available over by the registration desk. The sandwiches were simple — just two pieces of white bread, a thick piece of ham and some egg — but, nevertheless, were probably the best thing anyone's ever eaten.
Once the announcement was made, players jumped to get a snack and add a little goodness to their bellies. Here in media row, we got a taste as well and we can confirm that these sandwiches were the best things we've ever eaten, but mainly because we were about to riot without food.
A recent hand saw two players limp before the small blind put in a call, which left it to Michael Guzzardi in the big blind. Guzzardi tapped the table and the flop was dealt.
The small blind player checked and Guzzardi flicked out 500. The other two players sent their cards into the muck and it was back on the small blind player. A call from that player and the hit the turn. This time Guzzardi's opponent led for 500, which Guzzardi promptly raised to 2,000. The player made the call and a on the river meant that a straight was showing.
A check from Guzzardi's opponent would see Guzzardi throw out 4,150. Guzzardi's opponent looked at the felt for a few moments and decided the straight on the board and Guzzardi betting was enough to force them out of the hand.
While all of the other tables were empty as the players had exited the tournament area for their 10-minute break, Corbin White from the USA and Sasa Zorc from Croatia were involved in a hand.
White had opened with a raise from middle position and Zorc three-bet from the small blind to 1,650. Action moved back to White and he stuck in a four-bet to 4,250. Zorc wanted a better look at White's chips and asked if he could see his stack. White moved his hands and spread out his larger-denomination chips. After another minute or so passed, Zorc five-bet to 11,650.
Another couple of minutes passed and then White six-bet all in for right around 22,000. Zorc quickly called and tabled the . White was crushed with the and in need of a lot of help.
The flop produced the and White picked up a few more outs to a chop if two pair fell on the board. The turn added a straight draw for White to make his chances a bit better, but after the landed on the river he was eliminated from the tournament as Zorc had him covered. Zorc moved to 66,000 in chips.
