"Is It On Me?"

Level 17 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Andreas Eiler open-shoved for around 290,000 from middle position, and the action folded to George Abdallah in the big blind.

"Is it on me?" Abdallah asked the dealer, who nodded. "I call."

He showed {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}, which dominated Eiler's {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}, and the board ran out {6-Clubs}{10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{5-Diamonds}. Eiler was eliminated, while Abdallah now has 775,000 chips.

Zugwat Doubles on Last Hand Before Dinner

Level 16 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Steven Silverman
Steven Silverman

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: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Silverman: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

"Same hand," Chae said, motioning towards Mo's hand.

Silverman held as the board rolled out {j-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}, doubling to 838,000 chips.

Time for the Dinner Break

Level 16 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

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:

Fardad Spikes the River to Double Through Steven

Level 16 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

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: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Steven: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

Steven was primed to extend his chip lead quite considerably, and that seemed likely through the {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop and {6-Spades} turn. Fardad needed an eight or a spade on the river to stay alive, and wouldn't you know it, the {8-Hearts} peeled off and Steven took a hit prior to leaving for dinner.

Christian Harder Eliminated By Anthony Gregg

Level 16 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

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: {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}
Harder: {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}

The board ran out {9-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, bringing no help to Harder and ending his tournament. Gregg, meanwhile, is up to about 1.2 million.

Finger Wins Biggest Pot of the Tournament Thus Far to Eliminate Makhija & Lamb

Level 16 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Martin Finger on Day 1.
Martin Finger on Day 1.

A monster pot just went down at Table 452 that resulted in Amit Makhija and Ben Lamb hitting the rail. Not only that, it established a clear chip leader in Germany's Martin Finger, who won his first bracelet a couple weeks back.

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: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Lamb: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Makhija: {q-}{q-}

Makhija got it in with the best hand, while Lamb was in the lead for the side pot. Unfortunately for them both, the {k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop delivered Finger a king and the lead. Neither the {5-Diamonds} turn nor {7-Spades} 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.

King-High Good for Finger

Level 16 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Martin Finger raised to 50,000 out of the small blind, Andrew Robl defended his big blind, and the flop fell {10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. Both players checked.

The turn was the {j-Hearts}, Finger led out for 35,000, and Robl stared Finger down before making the call.

The {6-Diamonds} completed the board, Finger opted to check, and Robl tossed out 60,000. Finger called.

Robl tabled {9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for effectively nine-high, which Finger had beat with {k-Hearts}{4-Spades} for effectively king-high.
