flop fanned out. The player in the big blind bet 3,000 only to see the player in middle position raise to 8,000. Olshan three-bet shoved for 21,000 getting rid of the player in the big blind but the player in mid position called.

The players have been sent on a 15-minute break while the T-25 chips are raced off.
A player in middle position opened to 2,000 and Jordan Lagano called one seat over. A player in late position flatted as well before the player in the cutoff three-net jammed for 6,100. That cleared the table around to Lagano who made the call.
Jordan Lagano: 
Opponent: 
Lagano was in rough shape but an 
run out put a straight on board and the two chopped the pot.
