Play has slowed down as we approach the direct bubble, with not many players playing hands. One of the players playing hands at table 666 has been Lou Garza.
In this hand, he opened for a raise to 150,000 in early position. Shaun Deeb was the only caller in the big blind.
The flop came 10♣8♠3♣, and both players checked. The turn was the J♠, and Deeb led out for 390,000. Garza made the call.
The 4♦ fell on the river, and now Deeb bet 975,000. Garza folded, and Deeb scooped the pot.
In the next hand, Garza opened for 210,000. That was met with a three-bet by Bryce Yockey immediately to his left. Garza decided to give it up, and Yockey took the pot without seeing a flop.

Tomas Ribeiro limped in from an early position and everyone folded to Nick Schulman, who checked his option from the big blind. Schulman checked the A♣8♠5♥ flop and then folded when Ribeiro bet 105,000.
Soon after that, Sean Rafael bet the 10♠5♥2♦ flop and was called by Christopher Frank. The 4♦ turn saw Rafael increase the sizing to 400,000 and Frank folded.
While that hand had played out, Aaron Katz came over and mentioned that every single hand on their table was very slow. The discussion carried over to this table as well and Ribeiro asked for a floor, who acknowledged the slower pace of play but was not going to go hand-for-hand yet with 22 players left and 19 spots paid.

Lautaro Guerra began the hand with a raise to 210,000 from early position. The table folded around to Nik Airball in the big blind, who came along with a call.
Airball checked the 9♠2♦9♥ flop before Guerra fired 125,000. Airball responded with a raise to 300,000. Guerra gave it some thought before he called to take the two to a turn.
The J♦ led to Airball firing 425,000. Guerra called the bet to head to the river.
Airball checked the A♦ river. Guerra put together some chips before pushing out 800,000. Airball played three time banks while he was in the tank before he eventually yielded with a fold as Guerra continued to build a formidable stack with 22 players left.

Arthur Morris limped the hijack and Christopher Frank did so in the cutoff. Nick Schulman called in the small blind and Sean Rafael then raised to 300,000 in the big blind.
"Five point three you started with?" Morris asked Rafael, who quickly counted and then nodded. Morris called only for Frank to then raise the pot to 1,260,000 for essentially half of his stack. Schulman and Rafael quickly folded before Morris conceded the pot, too, exposing the K♦K♥.
"I had aces, really," Frank said and flashed the A♣A♥.
Shortly after, Rafael had a battle of the blinds with Tomas Ribeiro and they both invested 120,000 on the Q♦J♥5♦8♥ turn. Rafael then bet the 3♠ river for 600,000 and Ribeiro used four time banks before he called. There was no showdown, as Rafael tossed his cards into the muck.

The action checked to Foxen on the 9♣2♥Q♠ flop, and he bet 95,000. Only Katz called.
The 3♠ turn and 5♦ river checked through, and Katz turned over the winner with Q♦10♠8♠2♦ for two pair.

The hand began with several calls by Tomas Ribeiro in the cutoff, Arthur Morris on the button, Christopher Frank in the small blind, and Andjelko Andrejevic checked his option in the big blind.
All four players checked the J♠Q♦8♥ flop.
Morris and Frank checked the 3♣ turn before Andrejevic chose to bet 175,000. Ribeiro called, while Morris and Frank folded.
The K♣ river was met with a check from Andrejevic. Ribeiro opted to bet 325,000, which was enough to garner a fold from Andrejevic.
