Just before the break, a big pot was brewing over on table 630 in what happened to be a four-bet pot preflop according to Ismael Bojang. The players involved were Tom Fuchs and Bjorn Gravlien, the latter of which was the four-bettor.
Fuchs called bets by Gravlien on the J♠4♣4♦ flop and 6♣ turn to create a pot of more than 30,000 to the 9♠ river. Gravlien then checked behind and was shown the J♣J♦ for jacks full of fours by Fuchs, as he shook his head in disgust.
