[user80015]

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Rachid Ben Cherif opened the pot to 40,000 only to have Jackie Glazier three-bet next to act in the hi-jack to 75,000. The action returned to Ben Cherif, and he made the call before checking the flop.

Glazier slid out a bet of 85,000 and Ben Cherif deliberated for close to two minutes before cutting out a check-raise of 255,000 to put Glazier into the think-tank.

After taking her time, Glazier precisely cut out a three-bet to 410,000 as the ESPN cameras made their way over to film the action that was going down on Table 442.

Ben Cherif checked his hole cards, paused for a few moments, then checked them once again before declaring he was all in. Glazier sighed and began tracing the hand back in her mind before eventually decided to fold to slip to just over 1 million as Ben Cherif climbs to over 2.2 million in chips.

Owen Flips a Chip, Folds

Shamus

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

After Dan Owen open-raised to 43,000, Danard Petit reraise-pushed all in for about 350,000 — the second time he's gone all in before the flop already today — and it folded back around to Owen.

Owen considered for about a minute, then took one yellow chip and flipped it as though it were a coin and the outcome would help him decide what to do. He chuckled when it landed, though, as both sides of all chips are printed identically.

He then folded, adding that whichever way the chip had landed, that was going to be his decision.
