Play continues on the Feature Table

[user22113]

With moving players backwards and forwards between the main floor and the feature table there is often time stoppages on the tournament clock to allow players an equal amount of play time.

The feature table is still currently playing but will be going to their dinner very soon.

Andy Black is on the feature table and is now up to 400,000 in chips. In a battle of the blinds between Bracht and Black we saw some very aggressive poker. Black raised from the big blind after Bracht had limped in. Bracht then moved all-in and had Black covered. Black instantly called.

Black {K-Diamonds}

Bracht

Black had to sweat as Bracht picked up a double gutser on the flop but Black held on and is now in a really good spot to push forward and finish even higher than his third place finish in last years Aussie Millions Main Event.

Black was quoted saying to Bracht "It's very dangerous raising a man who reads people for a living"
