Suzie Zhao has one of the toughest seats in the room, sitting right between monster stacks David Randall and Nam Le. However, she's certainly holding her own, as we just saw her take a big pot from Le.
We caught up with the two on the flop, which read . There was already 50,000 in the middle, and Le had checked to Zhao, who fired 33,000. Le tanked for about 90 seconds before calling, and the turn was the . Le checked again, and Zhao didn't slow down, firing 78,000 into the middle. Le took a couple minutes to think before tapping the table and releasing his hand.
After that one, Zhao jumps to 281,000, while Le drops down to 205,000.
It looked for a while like Joe Tehan would run away with the tournament, but not if David Malka has anything to say about it. We saw Malka sitting at the same table as James Woods with a monster stack.
Malka began the day on a short stack, with only 32,400, but he's slowly and surely built it up to what it is now.
David Randall moved to one of the toughest tables in the field (has Nam Le, Suzie Zhao, and Jay "WhoJedi" Newnum) with about 140,000. Despite the bad draw, Randall has crushed the table, chipping up to over 400,000. We just caught the hand that got him to that plateau.
There was 35,000 in the middle on a board that read , and Randall had checked to his lone opponent. That player fired out 16,500, and it was back on Randall. He tanked for about 30 seconds before cutting out a stack of blue T5,000 chips, and putting in a raise to 62,000. His opponent quickly called, and Randall tabled for a full house. His opponent mucked, and Randall was all smiles as he raked in the massive pot.
