We joined the action on a very wet 
flop, where Robert Mizrachi had bet 19,500 from the hijack. Marvin Rettenmaier was on the button and he raised to 61,500 and a huge pot started to develop.
The pot grew ever-larger when Sam El Sayed made the call in the big blind, which put the action back onto Mizrachi. He paused, eyed up his opponents before raising the action to a colossal 214,500 chips! Rettenmaier instantly folded but El Sayed shaped to call before ultimately letting his hand go.
Rettenmaier asked to see Mizrachi's hand but Mizrachi told him he would have to pay $200 to see it. Rettenmaier just laughed and went back to enjoying his massage.

Mansour Khorramshahi has declared war on Erik Cajelais after Cajelais called the floor to make a ruling.
Cajelais was upset that Khorramshahi made a forward gesture with his chips, something that can be perceived as moving all-in or at the very least calling a bet.
Khorramshahi was incensed and claimed Cajelais was angle shooting but Cajelais was trying to explain how he has seen that move made several times in his career and some floor staff have ruled against the person making the gesture.
Tournament director Matt Savage listened to all of the evidence and warned Khorramshahi against doing such a move in future.
"I am saving these chips for him (Cajelais)." said Khorramshahi. "Everyone know I'm crazy!"
Chino Rheem has just hit a huge double up. He was all in with 
against Marko Neumann's 
and comfortably survived the 
board.
Rheem is back up there with the chip leaders.
İgor Gurskiy opened to 12,000 from the button and Erik Cajelais made the call from the big blind.
The flop was 
and Cajelais check-raised all in against a 12,000 bet leaving the Russian with a decision for his last 60,000.
Gurskiy thought for a couple of minutes before calling all in.
Cajelais turned over 
and Gurskiy showed 
, the turn gave the Russian some extra outs but the river wasn't one of them.
Afterwards Gurskiy muttered something in Russian as the other table looked on, presumably bemused by the ace-high call. Another Russian at the table explained, "He said he thought he had a flush draw with the and had misread his hand..."
Robert Mizrachi has grabbed the chip lead after he called a 42,000 bet on an flop against Peter Bohuslav before both checked the 
turn. When the Czech checked the 
river, Mizrachi bet just 39,500 and Bohuslav folded.
The former $10,000 PLO bracelet winner couldn't help himself and showed as a result.
