Jason Mo raised to 44,000 in early position, Hyoung Chae called on his direct left, and Steven "Zugwat" Silverman moved all in for 375,000 near the button. The action folded back to Mo, who re-shoved having both players covered, and Chae went deep into the tank.
While he was tanking, several players were walking out of the area to goto break, and Chae stopped Andrew Lichtenberger. He showed Lichtenberger his hand, but Lichtenberger knew he couldn't say anything, so he just laughed. Chae laughed as well, then folded his hand.
Mo:
Silverman:
"Same hand," Chae said, motioning towards Mo's hand.
Silverman held as the board rolled out , doubling to 838,000 chips.
It's time for the 75-minute dinner break here in Event #47: $111,111 One Drop High Rollers No-Limit Hold'em. We'll have full counts for you shortly. Here's a look at the highlights from the past two hours of play:
In the last hand before the dinner break, Steve Gross opened for 40,000 from early position only to have Farshad Fardad three-bet to 115,000. Chip leader Brandon Steven then four-bet to 267,000 from the big blind, Gross folded and Fardad moved all in for 910,000. Steven Made a quick call and was in a dominant spot.
Fardad:
Steven:
Steven was primed to extend his chip lead quite considerably, and that seemed likely through the flop and turn. Fardad needed an eight or a spade on the river to stay alive, and wouldn't you know it, the peeled off and Steven took a hit prior to leaving for dinner.
Anthony Gregg raised to 40,000 from early position and Christian Harder three-bet shoved for 340,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Gregg who called.
Gregg:
Harder:
The board ran out , bringing no help to Harder and ending his tournament. Gregg, meanwhile, is up to about 1.2 million.
We're not sure of the preflop action, but we do know that Makhija, who had about 340,000, ended up all in while Lamb and Finger created a sizable side pot. After the stacks were counted, Lamb ended up all in for 1.1 million while Finger had him covered by less than 100,000.
Finger:
Lamb:
Makhija:
Makhija got it in with the best hand, while Lamb was in the lead for the side pot. Unfortunately for them both, the flop delivered Finger a king and the lead. Neither the turn nor river changed a thing and Finger scored the double elimination.
Meanwhile, Fabian Quoss was eliminated from the feature table by Gus Hansen in unknown action.
