Under the gun Jeff Williams raised to 60,000 and Peter Gould called. It was folded around and the two saw a {A-Diamonds}

flop. Williams bet 100,000 and Gould raised to 262,000. Williams took a long time contemplating his move before announcing he was all in for 730,000. And Gould laid it down.

Although the tempo here earlier was on-par for a very quick evening, things have all but screeched to a halt here at the ESPN Final Table. With things slowing down, the crowd has responded by becoming louder, as well as more anxious.

Anytime there is a big raise, or a reraise, you can hear the collective crowd hold their breathes in hope that some all-in action may be coming our way.

However, we've only had one all-in within this level, and it's been suggested that with blinds so small compared to chip stacks, that we may in fact be here for awhile.

How much more restless will the crowd get while waiting for big hands and big action? Only time will tell...

Hand #64--Jeff Williams

[user37786]

I sound like a broken record--Jeff Williams raised to 55,000 and took down the pot. Again.

Hand #65-- Michael Banducci

[user37786]

Peter Gould raised to 63,000 and Michael Banducci raised an addition 120,000 from the big blind. Gould thought about it, thought about it, thought about it...and folded.
