All the money went in preflop, with Tobias Dutweiler playing a 50,000 stack and he got it in versus big stack Anthony Spinella with the best of it.
Tobias Dutweiler:
Anthony Spinella:
The flop paired the ace for both players and there was a greater chance of a chop but Dutweiler was still a long way ahead. The turn gave three more cards for a chop but the was the worst news for the all-in player. He has to say goodbye just a few outside of the money.
There are just a handful of players who will finish outside of the money. Play has slowed considerably and the sound of "clock" being called has increased to a frequency not yet seen here today.
