There will be a hard stop at 6.20 p.m. local time for a 20-minute break and the 90-minute dinner break will then take place as of 7.30 p.m. local time.
The board read with almost 300,000 in the middle already.
Preben Stokkan and Greg Himmelbrand both had their hole cards exposed in front of them. Himmelbrand had in front of him and Stokkan had shown . Himmelbrand's stack was being counted out and determined to be 362,000 for Stokkan to pay up.
There was already 600,000 chips in the main pot already with Nick Blackburn all in. Two other players, Aaron Vanblarcum and Vitalijs Zavorotnijs had both put in 200,000 each to a side pot with action on a river.
Both players checked. Zavorotnijs showed and with Vanblarcum showing and Blackburn showing , Blackburn was sent to the rail and Zavorotnijs moved up level with Vanblarcum.
A player in middle position raised to 25,000, Chris Hunichen three-bet to 88,000 from the next seat over, David Guay four-bet to 240,000 from the small blind, the initial raiser folded and Hunichen called.
They checked to the turn of a board where Guay bet 330,000. Hunichen called.
The river was the , Guay shoved for 664,000 and Hunichen went into the tank for a while.
"So sick," said Hunichen. "Feels like you have queens."
Eventually, Guay called the clock and Hunichen called as time was expiring.
Guay tabled for a set of tens, besting Hunichen's to win what is the biggest pot of the Main Event to this point.
Adam Duong raised to 27,000 from the hijack and was called by Daniel Kirsch on the cutoff as well as the player in the big blind. The flop came and the big blind checked to Duong, who fired a continuation-bet of 67,000.
Kirsch called, or so he thought. In actuality, he put out around 107,000 and the floor was called. The ruling was such that since he had put out a bet in excess of 150 percent of the original bet, he was required to make a minimum raise of 134,000. The big blind got out of the way and Duong quickly moved all in effectively for Kirsch's total remaining stack of around 450,000.
Kirsch thought for a bit and ultimately committed the remainder of his chips
Adam Duong:
Daniel Kirsch:
Kirsch was down to two cards in his tournament life. That total was halved when the turn fell. The river came , keeping him alive via a four outer as he now finds himself with a stack of around one million in play.
