Last Break Of The Day

Our 57 remaining players are taking a short 10-minute break to grab a cup of coffee, while the dealers race off the 500-value chips as they will no longer be required for the duration of the tournament.

Our chipleader going into the closing stages of Day 1B is Vladimir Cocis, who just took out his latest victim in the hand before the break. He opened to 30,000 from middle position, with the player on the button making the call. The big blind saw this as a great spot to shove his last 81,000, with Cocis raising all-in to isolate. After some consideration, the player on button folded, and the cards were on their backs.

It was a classic flip situation: Cocis with the pair , the big blind with the overs . It was only a flip until the first flop card, as the dealer spread the flop. The player in the big blind stood up in disgust as the came down on the turn, leaving him drawing dead. The pot was shipped Cocis' way, as he bundled together his 670,000-chip stack.
