When the players return, they will be playing for the top prize of $693,444 and a coveted gold bracelet. Tomorrow's action kicks off squarely at 2:00pm local time, and we hope you'll join us then.

Before the flop, Dzianisau moves all in from early position for his remaining 112,000 chips. A couple seats over, Freeman makes the call, showing
