With a flop of all the money went in between Jean Francois Talbot's and Nicolas Chouity's . Talbot needed the case ace to survive but the board came with running and to leave us with just two tables remaining.
A most curious hand occurred at the outside table as Matt Perrins raised under the gun and Josef Klinger called.
They proceeded to check down the flop and turn before Perrins bet out 160,000 on the river. Klinger stood up and sort of twitched, but he does that most hands so that did not necessarily mean anything. After a while he flat-called, and Perrins turned over for a straight - and then everyone was rather surprised to see Klinger flip for a full house.
Wow, that went quickly. There were only five minutes remaining of the level when we went to two tables, and now the clock has been paused to race off the 1,000-denomination chips.
