Fun preflop chatter between Alex James and Mihai Manole, as the latter contemplated whether to risk his tournament life on an all-in call of a three-bet.
"I've played two hands all day and you raise me?" Manole said.
"Your raise signifies strength," James responded. "My coming over the top signifies more strength."
"I want to play, but I might lose," Manole said.
"Sometimes, you just gotta put it in," James said. "You should listen to your heart."
Apparently, his heart said fold.

Three players - Alex James in the small blind, Dennys Ramos in big and Tsz Chau on the button - checked a 5♠Q♦2♥ flop with a pot of around 300,000.
James led with 80,000 when the turn 10♣ came. This was enough to make Ramos fold but Chau stayed on. The river 5♦ saw another 180,000 come from James' stack. Chau called once again.
James turned over K♠J♥ for a bluff. Chau showed A♥10♦ for a turned pair.

On a board of 3♦8♣A♦6♠ and a pot of around 500,000, Alex James bet 200,000 in middle position and got called by Dennys Ramos in cutoff.
The river 2♥ prompted James to fire out 300,000 which made Ramos think for a few seconds before making a one-chip call.
Ramos mucked his hand when James tabled 8♥8♦ for a set on the flop.
As James scooped the pot, he went, "Dennys, I forgot to tell you. I own a tour bus company and I will take you to every street," evoking chuckles all around the table.

Three ways to a flop of 10♠3♥10♦ and Santiago Garza started with a check, Cagdas Ersoy followed suit.
Benjamin Williams pushed out a bet of 60,000 and Garza raised to 165,000. Only Williams called.
The turn brought the 9♥ and Williams checked. Garza bet 275,000 and Williams made a pained fold.
"I folded a monster... will you tell me if I tell you?"
Garza agreed.
"I folded jacks..."
"I had a ten."
"Yeah... I couldn't think of any bluffs. Maybe king-jack of hearts..."
Cagdas Ersoy was seen exiting the tournament area shortly after this hand.

In the third hand after the redraw to three tables, Nicholas Marchington made a four-bet raise from the button to 700,000 chips. Anatoly Nikitin barely hesitated in moving all in with more than 3 million chips.
Marchington quickly folded, taking a huge hit before the players left for a one-hour dinner break.
