Slow Pace

Through the first 31 hands, there hasn't been too much action, aside from Alex Kravchenko doubling up and the drunken railbird getting escorted out by security. As the time reaches 4 a.m. in Las Vegas, more people in the audience and media row are starting to yawn. The players have reached their 16th hour of play (minus breaks and dinner). Some of the final table players have been drinking coffee, Red Bull, or Mountain Dew to help stay awake.

Hand #32 - Steven Garfinkle has the button in seat 6, Jerry Yang raises from late position to 800,000, and Philip Hilm calls from the big blind. The flop comes {J-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, Hilm checks, Yang bets 1.5 million, Hilm thinks for about a minute before he moves all in, covering Yang.

Yang thinks for more than a minute before he folds, and Philip Hilm takes the pot.
