Bicknell:

Level 6
: 250/500, 75 ante
Vladimir Troyanovskiy just raised to 1,100 and a player in position three-bet to 2,700, after which Laurence Hall called from the small blind. Josep Maria Galindo, one of the tournament chip leaders, four-bet to and Troyanovskiy folded right away.
The three-bettor moved all in almost immediately for right around 32,000 and Hall said, "I can't remember whether or not I had aces," before looking back down at his cards.

Hachem Wins and Loses One
Level 6
: 250/500, 75 ante
The biggest star of poker in Australia, and one of the biggest in the world, Joe Hachem, is taking it easy today. Hachem played the Hall of Fame tournament earlier today, before taking a little break and sitting down in the Main Event.
Just now, we caught Hachem making a raise to 1,000 and he got three-bet by the player in the big blind to 2,800. Hachem called, but folded when his opponent bet 4,200 on the 
flop.
On the next hand Hachem raised again, making it 1,000, and the player on his left called. The flop came down 
and after a bet of 1,500 he got his opponent to swiftly fold.
Hachem's day has been fairly quiet so far, but he knows as well as anyone that's it's a marathon and not a sprint.
