Chip Counts From The Secondary Feature Table

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Action has been slow and steady here at the secondary feature table. Pots are being taken down with mostly preflop action and players aren't taking many flops. Here's what the chips are looking like for this table at the moment:

Calling the Clock (To Run Faster)

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

"Come on clock… run f***in' faster!"

So said Shawn Sheikhan just now as he walked around near his table after having folded a hand. "I hear you," said Hassan Mechammil from the neighboring table, who had also stood up from his chair. "I'm tired," added Mechammil.

The clock right now is showing about 40 minutes to go in this last level of the night, with the number of players remaining presently sitting at 253.

Sheikhan and Mechammil likely aren't the only ones feeling fatigue at the end of a fourth long and intense day of poker, but with the stakes rising the further the tournament goes, the ability to concentrate and withstand tiredness becomes ever more important.

Makhija Makes the Fold

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Amit Makhija, who finished 47th in the 2012 Main Event, opened to 25,000 from the hijack seat. Nicolas Le Floch three-bet to 72,000 out of the big blind, Makhija tank-called, and Le Floch led out for 67,000 on a flop of {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}{9-Hearts}. Makhija called.

The turn was the {3-Clubs}, Le Floch tossed out another 175,000, and Makhija called.

A repeat nine - the {9-Spades} - completed the board, and Le Floch emptied the chamber moving all in for 416,000. Makhija took a sip of his beer, and Le Floch toasted him from across the table with his own beer bottle.

"You show if I fold?" Makhija asked Le Floch, who buried his head in the rail.

A minute or so passed.

"You show if I fold?" Makhija repeated.

Le Floch refused to respond, but when Makhija finally folded, Le Floch showed {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} for a full house.

"I'm more interested in his hand," Bryan Pellegrino said afterwards, pointing to Makhija. "Sick fold anyway."

Merson and De Queiroz Chop It Up

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Steve Gee raised to 37,000 under the gun and was called by Evandro Vitoy de Queiroz on the button and Greg Merson in the big blind.

The flop fell {8-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts} and action checked to de Queiroz who bet 37,000. Only Merson called to see the {5-Spades} turn and both checked. The {8-Spades} river completed the board and Merson bet 50,000. A call from de Queiroz revealed pocket nines for both. Merson tabled {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, while de Queiroz showed {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}.

Seaver Kyaw Doubles With Improbable Ace on the River

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

We heard a loud roar from one of the feature tables, so we ran over to discover that Seaver Kyaw had won a pot worth nearly 2 million. And the way he did it was nothing short of amazing.

Kyaw was all in for 964,000 preflop with {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} against Nikolai Sears, who had {K-}{K-}. The flop came down {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{7-Spades}, giving Sears top set, although you'd never know it because we didn't hear a peep from the table. The turn was the {10-Spades}, and Kyaw picked up outs to a straight. The river: the {A-Hearts}, and Kyaw shot out of his seat and over to his rail, who joined in with his loud celebration. After the stacks were counted down, Sears was left shaking his head with just 555,000 to work with, and Kyaw was sitting on nearly 2 million.

Queens for Malherbe

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Jean-Yves Malherbe opened with a raise only to be three-bet by Martin Tonnesen. The action returned to Malherbe and he moved all in for 403,000 with Tonnesen making the call.

Malherbe: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}
Tonnesen: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

With Malherbe at risk, the flop fell {6-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{8-Clubs} to give Tonnesen a further four outs, but when the turn and river landed the {4-Clubs} and {J-Hearts}, Malherbe doubled through to roughly 825,000 in chips.

Ace-Jack Works for Lange

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Bevery Lange opened with a raise to 24,000 from early position, then watched as four players called her, including Hoa Luong playing from the big blind.

The flop came {8-Spades}{3-Hearts}{A-Clubs}, and when checked to Lange pushed out a bet of 50,000, causing all to fold except for Luong. The turn was the {5-Spades}. Luong checked, and Lange bet 60,000 this time. Luong thought a half-minute, the called.

Both then checked the {3-Spades} river. "I have an eight," said Luong, at which Lange tabled her {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades} and the dealer pushed the pot her way.

"I hate that hand," said Lange afterwards, despite earning a boost to her stack with it.
