It was passed around to Martin Jacobson in the small blind who shoved a tower of 100k black chips in the middle, Kaspars Renga moved all-in for not much more and the Swede made an automatic call.

The flop came and Jacobson took the lead which he managed to hold on the turn and river.
Renga has successfully laddered his way up several spots, but we're down to four players.
Alex Wice min-raised from the button and Julien Claudepierre made the call from the big blind to see a flop. They checked down the board until the river, when Claudepierre bet 280,000. Wice instantly asked, "How much?" and a microsecond after being told, he made the call. Wice turned over an unexpected , Claudepierre could only boast and dropped to 2.4 million, Wice moved up to almost 9 million.
By the by, the hyperactive Wice seems to be getting very frustrated by the fact that the dealer occasionally has to pause to wait for the automatic shuffler to finish doing its thing. We suspect that he's going to attempt to make up for it by playing even faster.
The dynamic is very going back to how it was at the start of the day, Martin Jacobson and Alex Wice are taking it in turns to bully the rest of the table. Wice pushed from the small blind on Kaspars Renga and then Wice followed suit on Kenny Hallaert.
Jacobson in particular seems to be targeting Lucien Cohen's big blind but the Frenchman is refusing to be bullied and is calling a lot of the raises, however it's the Swede winning most of the pots. Certainly Wice, Jacobson and Cohen are pulling away from the other three players and it'll be interesting to see how the action changes after we lose one or two more players.
Martin Jacobson's ascent back up the leader board continues - he's just picked up two hands in a row.
First, Julien Claudepierre raised to 210,000 from the button, but Jacobson made it 550,000 from the small blind and Claudepierre gave it up.
Next hand, Lucien Cohen opened to 260,000 in early position and Jacobson called on the button to see a flop, which Cohen checked. Jacobson bet 300,000 and Cohen called.
Cohen check-called another 750,000 on the turn, and then checked a third time on the river. Jacobson now bet 2.02 million, and Cohen removed his sunglasses, but folded fairly swiftly.
Cohen's at 6.5 million after that; Jacobson seems to be back in the lead on around 7.5 million.
Lucien Cohen raises to 260,000 and Martin Jacobson calls in the small blind. The flop is and Jacobson checks, Cohen bets 420,000 and Jacobson folds.
The action folds around to Wice in the small blind who moves 2 million into the middle and Kenny Hallaert folds in the big blind.
The actions folds around to Hallaert in the small blind and he makes the 100,000 up and Cohen checks in the big blind. The flop is and Hallaert bets 130,000 and Cohen raises to 300,000 and Hallaert folds.
The very tight Kaspars Renga opens to 240,000 and everyone turbo folds.
Then Alex Wice raises to 200,000 and Jacobson calls in the big blind. The flop is and Jacobson bets 230,000 and Wice calls. The turn is checked through as is the river . Jacobsen takes down the pot with and Wice shows
