Adam Hui might be opening a tad more than his fair share of pots. He raised pre-flop to 3,500 from the hijack. Action passed to the big blind, who moved all in for 41,200, about 26 big blinds. Hui asked for a count, pursed his lips, then folded after about 30 seconds. The big blind happily filpped open 
.
"I knew that was coming!" said someone else at the table with a laugh.

Alex Santiago has (we are told) been steadily accumulating chips all day with relentless three-betting and some well-timed cards. He just claimed another victim after three-betting from the small blind. Santiago's opponent, a player he had tangled with several times, opted to four-bet shove with pocket 6s for about 45,000. Santiago snap-called with pocket aces, which held up to vault Santiago to 210,000 in chips.
John Land has just been eliminated. He was super short and got the last of his chips in with the 
only to run into two aces. There was no help for Land and he has been eliminated from the tournament.
The players are back in their seats and -- yes that's right -- we're now playing 700/1400 with a 200 ante.

The players are now on a 10-minute break.
On one of the last hands of the level, Melissa Hayden three-bet all in for 20,300 after the under-the-gun player opened to 2,800 and was flat-called by a player in middle position. The under-the-gun player thought for a while but folded. Not so the middle-position player.
"I have a little gambling blood in me," he said. "I call." His 
was a pre-flop underdog to Hayden's 
, but flopped two pair, 
. It was all over for Hayden by the 
turn.
