Daniel Skolovy opened with a raise to 16,000 from middle position, and it folded around to Daniel Negreanu in the big blind who reraised all in for 118,000 total.
Negreanu counted out his chips for Skolovy's benefit as the cameras gathered. "I got 118, bro," he said with a grin, then began to address the camera, saying something about Vancouver and referencing the riots that followed the recent conclusion of the NHL Game 7 final.
"If I lose this hand, I'm going to flip over this table," said Skolovy with a wide smile, and all laughed.
The conversation continued, with Negreanu spelling out the exact pot odds Skolovy had to call. Eventually he folded, and both players showed their hands -- for Skolovy, for Negreanu. And no riot ensued, except for the laughing kind.
Negreanu goes to the break with 146,000, while Skolovy has 430,000.

Joining Varkonyi on the rail this level were Jake Cody, Vanessa Rousso, Joe Serock, Shannon Shorr, Steve Gross, Dennis Philips, Warren Fund and Martin Hruby.
The field also keeps shrinking as tables are breaking quickly through the Orange section. The tournament clock reads 495 players remain. Two pay jumps have already been reached, each active player is now guaranteed $23,876.

Only one more level is scheduled to play tonight. Then players will bag and tag their chips before returning for Day 5 tomorrow.
