Following a raise to 900, Steven Gee moved all in from the button for his last 4,900 with his opponent making the call.

The board ran out to end Gee's tournament just a few orbits shy of dinner break.
Unfortunately for Gee, a deep run will not be repeated this year after finishing 9th in 2012 and 24th in 2013 - one of the best back-to-back Main Event runs since Dan Harrington (2003 and 2004) and Greg Raymer (2004 and 2005).
A player in middle position raised to 900, the player in the hijack seat called, and then action folded to John Monnette in the big blind. Monnette reraised to 2,650, and only the player in the hijack seat called.
On the flop, Monnette bet 2,775. His opponent raised to 7,000, and Monnette folded.
Max Altergott is quietly building up his stack and a couple of players have realized there is more to him than meets the eye, one labeling him a shark.
He was asked if he had won any tournaments and responded, “The hundred kay in Monte Carlo.” Referring to his 2013 Super High Roller win of $ 2,289,970 at the EPT Grand Final.
“You’re twenty three years old? That is so sick.” his inquisitor stated.
Johnny Chan just picked off a nice bluff to boost his stack up to 48,000. Three players, including Matthew Ashton, limped before Chan made it 2,200 from the button. The small blind folded and from the big blind it was Shang Dai who made the call.
The limpets all folded and the flop came down .
Both players checked and the turn was the . Dai lead out for 1,525 and Chan made the call. On the river the popped up and Dai lead out for another 3,075. Chan went into the tank for about a minute while he played with his chips before finally tossing in the call.
On the flop, Chamath Palihapitiya bet 1,000 and was called by his lone opponent to see the land on the turn. Palihapitiya bet 1,300, and his opponent called.
The river was the , and Palihapitiya checked. His opponent bet 3,000, and Palihapitiya folded with a shake of his head.
Matthew Ashton has been moved to one of the secondary feature tables here in the Amazon Room and seems to be doing well for himself judging by the 64,000 chips in his stack.
We can't say the same for the colorful duo of Sean Jazayeri and Albert Sapiano who both seem to have busted out since the break.
Chris Moneymaker raised to 650 from the button and only the small blind called to see a flop fall.
Moneymaker continued for 625 and the small blind called before he checked the on the turn. Moneymaker bet out 1,100 and the small blind opted for a check-raise on this occasion, making it 3,000 to go.
Moneymaker shot him a look, shrugged his shoulders and then folded while slipping to 46,475 in chips.
One player here is enjoying at least his second beer of the tournament with admirable disregard for the stakes at play. His remaining 11,300 stack is scattered haphazardly in front of him but he doesn’t seem too troubled. He still had a smile on his face and was telling Salman Behbehani, "San Diego is the greatest !#@*ing city in the world.”
