Mike Ellis shoved, and Billy Griner asked for a count, but eventually folded.
"Atta boy!" called over one of Ellis' railers. We happen to know that this particular railer's enthusiasm stems not from sheer altruism but the fact that he has a significant piece of Mr. Ellis in this event. We wish them both the best of luck.
Martin Jacobson opened the pot with a 145,000-chip raise and David Wilkinson re-popped it to 440,000 in the small blind. Jacobson folded.

Exits are like buses, and after our crazy half-hour bustathon, the action has slowed to a snail's pace. Players are occasionally getting involved, but we rarely see a flop and although the players are starting to look a little sleepy, they are so far giving us every indication that they're in here for the long haul.
It could be a while yet.
