Barely recognizable through his mountain of chips, Filippo Candido dipped into his ocean to make an under-the-gun raise to 6,200. Sammy Farha called a few seats down, but Christian Harder was less hospitable and casually announced all -n from the big blind. Candido called; Farha folded.
With 
versus

board ultimately doubled him up. As a result, the Harder has around 190,000, and avoided that awkward moment where you have to halt a massage prematurely.

A gentleman in mid position opened for 6,000 only for Johnny Lodden to make it 15,500 from the cutoff. Back to the initial raiser, who made it 37,500, and then back to Lodden, who called.
This makes it all sound very snappy, but in reality the preflop action was punctuated by long periods of tankage on both sides, and was conducted in absolute silence - some classic Scandie poker from Lodden and his opponent.
They saw a flop which they both checked. The initial raiser checked again and Lodden spoke for the first time. "You know how much you have?" he asked. About 80,000, was the answer. Lodden bet 28,000, and it was enough to end the hand.
Lodden was up to 660,000 after that.

. That full house left the first all-in player drawing dead to running sixes. The second had only one additional out, the case ace. The turn and river knocked both players out of the tournament.
"Sorry guys," said Bucaric as the pot was pushed to him.
A floor standing at the table replied, "You ain't sorry. Don't lie, or give the chips back." Bucaric just stacked them up.

Shulman made the call leading to a 
flop which went check, check, before the reigning WSOPE Champion took it down on the
