Players are on their first 15-minute break of the day.
Action was heads up between Nick Pupillo in the big blind and Elilton Gouveia, who was in early position with around 5,000 already in the middle on a board of ![]()
![]()
![]()
. Pupillo fired out 3,000 and Gouveia called.
The dealer burned and turned the river
and Pupillo checked. Gouveia went into the tank for a chunk of time, causing Pupillo to look up to him. As soon as Pupillo's gaze raised, Gouveia threw out 5,500.
Such a bet was plenty to force Pupillo out of the pot and Gouveia took down the pot.

There was a decent pile of chips already in the middle on a board reading ![]()
![]()
and action was on Gary Herstein in the big blind. Herstein had a bet of 3,300 already out in front of him and was facing a raise to 8,500 by Hal Rotholz, who was in the cutoff.
Herstein thought for a while and eventually let his hand go. Rotholz quickly flashed one card that appeared to be a red
before putting it back face down and sending his winning hand to the dealer in exchange for the pot.
