Action has slowed as of late. In one recent hand though, we saw a little bit of action. With about 700,000 in the pot on a flop of 
, Dave Neff fired 575,000 into Bob Chow. The latter asked for a count, discovering that Neff had 1.355 million behind. Chow thought for a solid minute before saying: "Alright, I'm going to fold my set of tens to you."
We might add that Chow was speaking with a joking tone.

Drazen Ilich and Bob Chow each committed 250,000 preflop and saw the dealer peel 
out for the flop. Ilich went all in and Chow called.
Ilich: 
Chow:
Chow's open-ended straight draw hit when the turn fell 
and Ilich was drawing dead. The river was run out for good measure as Ilich exited in seventh place.

Eric Crain opened for 265,000 and Dave Neff shoved all in from the small blind. Crain popped his head up and asked the dealer for a count. Before the dealer could finish - which was somewhere in the neighborhood of 2.1 million - Crain announced call.
Neff: 
Crain: 
The dealer rolled out 
for the flop.
The turn was a kick in the gut for Crain when it came 
. Crain left the table and steam walked around the stage. He had his hat pulled down low to watch the river...
!
Crain exploded again, this time in excitement. He pulled a Tiger Woods-esque fist pump as he earned the knockout.

The remaining four players are on a ten-minute break.
Level: 34
Blinds: 80,000/160,000
Ante: 20,000
Since returning from break, there has been no significant action to speak of. In fact, a simple preflop raise seems to be enough to swipe the blinds and antes at this point. With the stacks so deep, players can afford to be patient and wait for quality hands.
