Justin Pechie has taken control here after the dinner break and is up to 1,600,000.

In this hand against Eugene Katchalov, Pechie raised in early position and Katchalov called from the big blind. The flop came down {7-Spades}{3-Spades}{a-Hearts} Katchalov checked, Pechie bet out, and Katchalov called. The turn came {8-Clubs} Katchalov again checked, Pechie bet out and Katchalov called. The river came {5-Spades} Katchalov checked, Pechie again bet and this time Katchalov angrily tossed his cards into the muck.

The very next hand, Pechie raised it up under the gun, Dale Eberle re-raised on the button, and Stephen Bass called in the big blind. Pechie called the raise and the three saw a {k-Spades}{10-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop. Bass checked, Pechie bet, Eberle raised, and both players called to see the {8-Diamonds} turn. Bass and Pechie checked to Eberle who bet and both players called. The river came {9-Clubs} and Bass bet out, Pechie raised, Eberle angrily folded, Bass re-raised, Pechie re-raised once more and Bass was all in. Both players showed {q-}{j-} and they chopped the pot with the straight. Eberle fell to only 180,000 after the hand

One hand later Eberle raised it up in the cutoff, Bass re-raised from the small blind, and Pechie re-raised again from the big blind. Both players called and they saw the flop of {7-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. Bass checked, Pechie bet, Eberle folded and Bass called to see the {2-Diamonds} on the turn. Again, Bass checked, Pechie bet, and Bass called. The river was the {4-Spades} and once again, Bass checked, Pechie bet, and Bass called. Pechie showed {q-}{q-} for a flopped set to take down the pot.

Pechie is up around 1,600,000 and after that last hand Bass is down to only 200,000. With some real short stacks at the table now, we are likely to lose some more players very soon.
