The last few minutes have been very quiet because of this.
We'll keep you posted when the chips start moving.

Estes Takes the Chiplead

.
Tieman led for 54,000 and Estes called.
The turn was the 
and Tieman checked to Estes who bet 95,000. Tieman folded and Estes raked in the pot.

How Many Treys in the Deck?
On a 
flop, Cary Katz checked, and Joseph Elpayaa bet 8,000. Katz called, then bet 15,000 after the 
on the turn. Elpayaa's turn to call. The river was the 
, and Katz checked. Elpayaa bet a substantial 43,000, and Katz couldn't have called any faster. He turned up 
for trip treys, a pretty strong heads up hand. Unless your opponent has 
and flopped a boat, of course. Elpayaa scooped the pot with the case three, but he felt his opponent's pain. "That would make me want to shoot myself," he said. He's up to 520,000 while Katz is down to 380,000.
Silence and Sports
There are three very different demeanors at each of the tables. Stuart Rutter and Julien Nuijten are chatting amiably. At the moment they're discussing world cup teams in between hands. At the other end of the spectrum, Josh Tieman and Danny Estes are both staring in opposite directions. They haven't made eye contact, said a word, or cracked a smile since they started playing heads up. And somewhere in the middle, Joseph Elpayaa and Cary Katz are not too chatty, but they're not icy toward each other either. Though if I were Elpayaa, I'd be a little worried by the miniature skull Katz is using as a card protector.

Break Time for Everyone!
One table was on an "unscheduled" break, but now it's time for an official break.
Be back in a few.
Katz Stayin' Alive
Cary Katz doubled through Joe Elpayaa to stay alive on Table 369.
The two got it all-in preflop and the hands were opened:
Katz: 
Elpayaa: 
The board ran 
and Katz's jacks held, doubling him to 460,000 chips.
He know has a slight edge over Elpayaa who has 440,000 chips.
Pause in the Action
There is currently an "unscheduled break" at a table or two. We've been politely asked by the floor staff to step away. Sounds so much more intriguing than it is.
