Simon Deadman called in the big blind, and the hit the river.
Romero fired for 200,000 and Deadman, sat with 217,000, went into the tank.
Deadman sat thinking for a minute before he asked for a confirmation of the bet.
"You left me 17,000 to spin up if I lose, that's kind of you" joked Deadman.
Deadman's humor at the situation brought smiles to the faces of his tablemates except for Romero who remained deadly still.
Deadman thought for another 30 seconds before he checked his cards for the final time and folded.
Romero picked up the pot and moved over 1,300,000.

Shaun Deeb moved all in for 139,000 from the hijack, and Alan Goehring called on the button.
Shaun Deeb:
Alan Goehring:
Board:
Deeb hit a queen on the flop but also saw Goehring improve to a set. Deeb was half out of his seat when he picked up the up-and-down straight draw on the turn, but the defending champion departed when the river card was no use to him.
Day 2 entrant Deeb exits in 17th place for $28,618 but will be back in action in the $1,500 Closer tomorrow after he bagged the Day 1b chip lead.

The board already read and Lauren Roberts sat on the button as she was facing a bet of 80,000 from Ramin Hajiyev from early position in a pot of about double the size of that.
Roberts went for the raise as she put 200,000 in the middle and Hajiyev wanted confirmation of the bet size before he called.
The river completed the board and Hajiyev checked to Roberts who eventually checked behind. Hajiyev showed but that couldn't beat the that Roberts showed.
Roberts her neighbor, Gal Yifrach, commented on the nice flop and Roberts agreed to that.

Alan Goehring raised from the hijack to 35,000 and chip leader Anuj Agarwal called from the cutoff. Dong Chen sat in the small blind and he decided to move all in for his last 273,000. The others folded quickly until Agarwal was up again.
Agarwal took his time to think it through and apologized to the table for taking his time. He ended up making the call and they tabled their hands.
Dong Chen:
Anuj Agarwal:
Agarwal was happy to see that had two live cards but he couldn't hit any of them on the run out. Chen even managed to improve to an unnecessary straight to double up.

Close to two minutes ticked past before Yifrach made up his mind and gave in the to pressure from Gonsalves and folded.
"Show one?" asked tablemate Stefan Huber.
"Come on, it's for PokerNews," he added.
