Peter Tobias moved all in for 107,000 from early position and only put a few chips forward. The dealer threw the all in button in front of that and the action folded to Stanislas Le Marchand in the small blind. The Frenchman didn't hear the announcement - or noticed - the all in and put forward three T1000 chips to just limp, expecting to play in a battle of the blinds.
The floorman was called and it was ruled that Le Marchand had to call off the all in.
The action folded to Justin Pechie in the small blind and he moved all in for 54,000. Stanislas Le Marchand was the big blind, and after 10 seconds or so of thinking about what to do, called.
Le Marchand:
Pechie:
Neither player improved on the flop, but both hit the turn, Le Marchand pairing his eight and Pechie picking up a diamond flush draw. The landed on the river and with that, Pechie was eliminated.
The players at Table 439 have obviously decided to attempt to go big or go home since returning from dinner break and have been pushing all in with great frequency.
First, Peter Tobias moved all in from the cutoff and picked up the blinds and antes. The result was the same for Will Givens, who pushed all in from the button on the next hand, a bet that went uncalled.
William Spencer Horan was already all in preflop without getting called. This time, Loren Klein raised to 12,000 from early position and Horan was all in for 61,000. Klein thought about it for a good minute and then called.
Horan:
Klein:
The board ran out and Klein took the pot on the river with a pair of jacks.
