From early position, David Einhorn raised to 200,000 and Alfred Decarolis in the cutoff was the only caller.
Einhorn checked on and called the 300,000 bet by Decarolis that followed. Both of them checked the on the turn and the completed the board. Einhorn checked again and called the 400,000 bet that followed.
Decarolis showed and Einhorn mucked after doubled checking his cards.
"Look at Al value bluffing the river!" Haralabos Voulgaris said with a big smile.
"Every breath you take every move you make..." Bob Safai started singing.
"You just merged your range there on the river, just throw in some bluffs there" Voulgaris continued.
"Every flush you make every bluff you fake..." Safai sang while Decarolis just continued stacking.
Play has slowed down considerably, no big action was seen this level so far. Einhorn and Voulgaris just said they were getting tired and were looking forward to end of play in 20 or so minutes.
The blinds get higher and the pots get bigger, with Andrew Pantling just dragging a significant pot on Table 11. He opened to 250,000 from under-the-gun, Talal Shakerchi called in late position, only for Jason Stasser to three-bet to 850,000 out of the small blind. It folded back to Pantling, who called, but Shakerchi decided to leave them to it.
The dealer fanned a flop and Strasser check-called a bet of 450,000 from Pantling. The fell on the turn and the second barrel of 700,000 from Pantling was enough to win him a big pot.
Two players saw the flop come . Mark Teltscher checked, and Sean Dempsey bet 200,000. Teltscher called, and the turn was the . Teltscher checked again, and Dempsey continued for 300,000. Teltscher again called.
Both players checked the on the river. "Nice check," Teltscher said as he tabled for a full house. Dempsey mucked his cards, and the dealer pushed Teltscher the pot.
Play was halted and a card was drawn to determine how many hands there were to be played before the day ended. A was drawn and so 6 more hands are to be played before the bagging and tagging starts.
That was what Cary Katz was left wondering to himself as he lost the minimum (is less than the minimum possible?) in a hand against Pierre Garand. The latter opened to 300,000 and Katz just called in position. The flop was checked through and the fell on the turn. Bet of 600,000 from Garand, call from Katz.
The fell on the river and Garand reverted to checking. Katz thought for a while and then said. "Cowardly," about his own actions as he turned over . His opponent had though for the flopped set. "Maybe not so cowardly," said Katz, before adding. "How do I not go broke there?".
Tony Bloom raised to 260,000 and got called by Alfred Decarolis and Elton Tsang before Bob Safai in the cutoff squeezed all in for 1,865,000. Action folded to Bloom and he pushed over the top. Decarolis folded instantly, Tsang mucked .
Tony Bloom:
Bob Safai:
"Boom!" Safai's coach Esfandiari shouted, "Heads or tails! I've seen you win a flip!"
The board ran out and Safai doubled, high-fiving with Esfandiari.
On the penultimate hand of the night, Kamer Alyanakyan lost the last of his chips. In the hand in question James Bord opened to 225,000 with pocket tens, Talal Shakerchi smooth called and Alyanakyan moved all-in for around 1,550,000 with . Bord called (Shakerchi folded) and the board stayed low to eliminate Alyanakyan took his leave.
Players can buy-in until the start of play tomorrow so he may be back.
