, and James Romero bet 80,000 from the small blind.
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.

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.

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.

but that couldn't beat the ![]()
that Roberts showed.

Alan Goehring raised from the hijack to 35,000 and chip leader Anuj [Removed:550] 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 [Removed:550] was up again.
[Removed:550] 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.

, and Gal Yifrach checked from the big blind.
Markus Gonsalves bet from the hijack, and Yifach called before the
hit the turn.
Yifrach then check-called a 115,000 bet from Gonsalves and checked for the third time after the
peeled off on the river.
Gonsalves thought for a minute then cut a 300,000 bet from his stack and slid it into the middle.
Yifrach went into the tank with 320,000 behind, and both players remained silent.
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.
Ramin Hajiyev jokingly placed his hand over one of Gonsalves' cards and asked if he could show it.
Gonsalves obliged and Hajiyev flipped over the
for all to see.
