After a preflop raising war between Shyam Srinivasan and Kyle Sorel, the latter was faced with what looked like a six-bet to around 170,000. Sorel, who had 100,000 in front of him, thought better of it and mucked his hand.
Our blogger turned away to catch an all-in hand with Alex Bilokur, during which time Sorel doubled up Douglas Ferreira Souza to 84,000. The one-time chip leader now has around 860,000 chips.
The board showed when Jaime Kaplan moved all in from the hijack for right around 130,000 chips. A similar amount of chips was already in the middle and his opponent, Morgan Frederick Crosta, made the call from the button.
Kaplan showed and Crosta claimed the pot showing . Kaplan was knocked out and Crosta now has a huge stack.
