From under the gun, Hasan Habib raised to 7,000. Isaac Baron was next to act and splashed in a three-bet to 20,000 before play folded over to Chino Rheem in the big blind. Rheem announced, "Make it 50,000," and slid forward the chips. Habib folded and then Baron gave it up as well.
Chino Rheem got the last of Antonio Esfandiari's chips when his got there against all in preflop. The board ran out and Esfandiari was unable to recover from the crushing blow delivered by Justin Bonomo just a short while earlier.
Rheem is still very much alive, however, with 210,000 chips.
Adam Levy just tweeted that he's gotten even richer and now sits with 440,00 in chips. Here's what he had to say:
@Roothlus: "Unbelievable. Get it in vs Dan O'Brien dead to rites (KK vs AA). Bink the K for 300k pot. So sick! Then picked off a bluff with A10ss on J75ssA10 board vs 86cc. Top 3 in chips with 27 left. 440k."

From the cutoff, Antonio Esfandiari opened the pot with a raise to 8,000. Isaac Baron made the call from the button before Justin Bonomo three-bet to 29,000 from the small blind.
Esfandiari thought for a minute and asked Bonomo for a count of his chips. He had 145,000 to start the hand, about 20,000 more than Esfandiari and then he announced that he was all in. Baron quickly folded and Bonomo made the call.

The board ran out and Bonomo's pair of nine's held on for the win. He now has 295,000. Esfandiari has since doubled back up to 40,000.
We haven't seen too many giant preflop clashes in this event, but just a few moments ago Adam Levy, Dan O'Brien and Frank Kassela exchanged blows back and forth that found O'Brien and Levy all in with over 300,000 chips on the line. The situation was ace versus kings and things didn't end up well for O'Brien, even those he was the one yielding the rockets.
From under the gun, Levy raised to 7,000 and action folded over to O'Brien in the cutoff seat. He three-bet to 17,000 before play fell on Kassela, who had the button. Kassela stuck in a four-bet to 48,000, kicking things up even greater. The two blinds folded and then Levy took a minute before moving all in for 140,000. O'Brien then moved all in himself for a little bit less at 127,000. Kassela then went into the tank before eventually folding his hand.
O'Brien tabled the and Levy the . Without help from here, Levy would be in severe trouble.
