Level 6
: 200/400, 0 ante
We arrived at the table when there was a full board showing

After a while, the player folded and the table pressured Tuhrim into "showing the bluff."
Tuhrim wasn't too eager to show his hand, but after his tablemate convinced him it was good for the game, he opened up 
.

Bertig Makes the Call
Level 6
: 200/400, 0 ante
The board read 
and action was checked to Brian Bertig who bet 7,000 into a pot around 8,600. The big blind opponent check-raised all in for 21,725 and Bertig thought for several moments before making the call.
His opponent tabled 
for one pair with a flush draw and Bertig showed 
for two pair with a straight draw. The river fell the and Bertig's two pair held on for the pot.

Tuhrim the Big Stack
Level 6
: 200/400, 0 ante
At this point, there are 270 players remaining in the tournament, which gives it an average stack of 17,300. In the silver section of the Brasilia room is a gentleman sitting with 110,000 in front of him on the table. Richard Tuhrim is the owner of the mountain of chips and is most likely the chipleader of the tournament at this point.
