First Phil Ivey raised and had to fold on a shove from Tim O'Shea who jammed it in right after the break. The very next hand O'Shea was on the button and he pushed all-in for 267,000. "I call", Healy said from the small blind and Ivey didn't quite catch that. "What did you say?", Ivey asked and Healy confirmed his action. "Oh, god dammit, I was gonna call", Ivey said with a huge smile on his face. Everyone started laughing as Ivey mucked his cards.

Janis Lesinskis sweating his tournament life
We missed the way it happened, but all that matters is by the time we arrived at the feature table, Janis Lesinskis had turned over and had all his chips in the middle, while Turk had tabled .
Both players were on their feet as the board ran out. The big double for Lesisnkis leaves him with a very healthy stack, While Turk now falls down the chip leader board.
We've put the first level in the books, and we're four players shorter than we were two hours ago. The 22 who've survived to this point are stepping away for a 15-minute break.

We missed the pre flop action but judged from the chips in the pot there was more than just a single raise. The small blind, Lesinskis, had 55,000 chips laid out in front of him while Kenneth Wong had 130,000 invested in the pot. It was on Lesinskis who tanked for a bit before sliding out 275,000 for the three-bet. Wong tanked for a while and than made the call.
The turn was the and Lesinskis opted to check. Wong thought about it for a minute or so before betting 225,000 chips. Lesinskis was far from happy and opted to lay his hand down resulting in a serious loss.
From under the gun, Lee Nelson raised to 23,000. Patrick Healy called on the button, Phil Ivey called from the small blind and Oliver Speidel called from the big blind.
The four players took the flop and Ivey led for 60,000. Speidel folded and Nelson raised to 125,000. Healy ducked out of the way, then Ivey called.
The turn brought the and Ivey checked. Nelson slid out two tall towers of yellow T5,000 chips topped by two chocolate T25,000 chips totaling 250,000. Ivey gave it up and Nelson won the pot.
From the cutoff seat, Lee Nelson opened with a raise to 23,000. Tim O'Shea called from the button and Phil Ivey called from the big blind. The flop produced the and Ivey checked. Nelson bet 55,000 and O'Shea called. Ivey folded.
The turn was the and paired the board. Nelson opted for a check and O'Shea checked behind to see the land on the river. Nelson moved all in for an effective shove of 237,000 as that's what O'Shea had left. O'Shea folded and Nelson won the pot.
From the small blind Karim Jomeen raised to 30,000 and Yann Dion pushed his opponent all-in from the big blind. Jomeen called for his last 194,000 chips giving us another all-in showdown.
