Isaac Haxton has the button again on this one (they appeared not to have moved it, which was only noticed after the hand was being dealt).

Alec Torelli raised to 205,000 from the cutoff, and it folded to Justin Bonomo who called from the big blind.

The flop came {6-Hearts}

. Bonomo checked, and Torelli pushed out a bet of 285,000. Bonomo didn't hesitate, quietly announcing he was all in. Torelli grimaced, then folded.

Shamus

As the chip leader here with seven players remaining, it appears Greg Raymer won't be making the start of that Champions Invitational event, scheduled to begin within the next hour.

He has taken the opportunity during the break, however, to go over to the secondary feature table to be photographed along with the other WSOP Main Event champs.
