Players are now on another 15-minute break.
2014 Hollywood Poker Open Championship Event
According to the players at Table 34, it all started with a raise to 400 and then Jim Boyd made it 1,100 to go. It was folded to Mike Wynn who popped it up to 3,300. The original raiser folded and the action was on Boyd who according to Wynn "snap folded face up pocket kings."
Wynn said Boyd deserved to see that he'd made a good fold and showed him his pocket aces. "I was just amazed how fast he folded though," said Wynn.

We have just now surpassed the $1 million in prize money with 445 entries and the pace is above the one from last year, so we may see a new record in the second year of the event taking place.
On the ![]()
![]()
flop, the player in the small blind bet 1,200 and only Steven Watts made the call to see the
turn. Both players checked and the
river completed the board.
Watts made it 4,000 to go and was called rather quickly by ![]()
, but that was only second best to the ![]()
of the Brit.
A few more notables made it into the tournament by now as well and we have added them to the chip counts.
