Good Turnout

Despite the lack of action at this final table, there are a lot of fans here to watch. Most of them are here to look on as Allen Cunningham goes for another bracelet. Max Pescatori has a few Italian buddies here as well.

Hold Up for Holtkamp

donpeters

Hold'em -

Jonathan Depa raised to 42,000 and then Kyle Hegeman came over the top for 150,000 total. Lennart Holtkamp looked down and found something he liked as he called all in for 109,000. Depa folded.

Holtkamp: {Q-Hearts}

Hegeman:

The flop nailed another queen for Holtkamp, {A-Spades}

. The turn gave Hegeman some more outs with the {K-Clubs}

, and then the river was the {10-Hearts}

, but wasn't what Hegeman needed. Holtkamp's hand held up and he doubled through.

Depa Trouble

[user66118]

Hold'em -

Action folds around the table to the blinds. Max Pescatori completes the bet, and Jonathan Depa checks his option.

The two men see the flop come down {8-Spades}

. Both check.

The turn is the {4-Diamonds}

. Pescatori leads out with 20,000, and Depa follows suit, paying to see the river.

It brings the {3-Clubs}

. The Italian Pirate keeps the lead, betting out 35,000. Depa pauses for a minute before putting in a small raise to 75,000. Pescatori doesn't like it, but he makes the call. Depa shows {Q-Diamonds}

and takes down the pot with his two pair. He has chipped up to about 420,000 at the expense of Pescatori.

Slow, Slow, Slow

donpeters

We've yet to see a flop yet after the break. A raise or reraise seems to be enough to take down a pot preflop at this final table. The players are still taking their time to act on their hands and think everything through.
