Klinger Going Nowhere
Klinger though did not fold, but instead 4-bet the hand making it 1.2 million getting the chip leader to release his hand.
Chouity Takes a Chunk Out of Klinger
Flop:
Klinger checked, and then called a 700,000 bet from Chouity. They saw a turn.
Turn:
Klinger checked again, and once more called the bet from Chouity, this time for 1,375,000.
River:
Klinger checked once more, and this time the bet from Chouity was all in to cover him. Klinger thought about it, but folded.
With that, Chouity moved up to 16,785,000, the most he's had all day - and he's had a lot all day. Klinger dropped back to 3.6 million, still good enough for second place in the chip counts.

Dinner Break
And We're Back
Chouity's Pie
First he fired a bet in an unraised pot blind on blind against Dominykas Karmazinas on a board to win one pot. Then he raised from the button and fired a flop bet of 300,000 on a board to push Josef Klinger off his hand.
The two shorter stacks are getting pushed around early on.
Chouity Ups the Aggression Again
Josef Klinger made it 380,000 from the button, but Nicolas Chouity made it 1.2 million to go from the small blind. Both big blind Dominykas Karmazinas and raiser Klinger folded, and Chouity once again took the pot.
By the by every hand that is won by Chouity is accompanied by raucous applause from his rail, and a chant of, "Oleeee, ole ole ole, Nicolaaaaaas, Nicolaaaaaaas!" It's like a Chouity party in here at the moment.
