Age Spets has gone on a heater; a short while ago he was down to less than 10,000 in chips. He now has 85,000 and is among the top ten chip stacks in the tournament.
As the players leave for a 60-minute dinner break, Ram Vaswani gets K-K in the small blind and the action folds around to him. He raises to 4,000 and gets no action from the big blind before heading off to dinner.
Play has restarted and it seems a lot cagier than pre-dinner. So far in the first ten minutes no big pots which seemed to happen every couple of hands before.
Raul Mestre raises to 3,200 from UTG; Peter Gould and another player call. The small blind then moves all in for 18,000. Raul instantly announces all in with an emphatic wave of his hands and the others fold.
Raul
Small Blind
The board fills out and the 45,000 pot is shipped to the small blind leaving Mestre with just 19,000 in chips.
