According to the table, Roman Voitovs tanked for "ten minutes" as the money bubble was approaching. It wasn't that he didn't have a decision, it was that he didn't want to bubble with pocket aces.
He ended up getting all in and at risk on the flop against an open-ended straight draw. He held and was very relieved. Once the hand played out, the table agreed that it was understandable why he waited so long.
While he was scooping in the pot, the floor announced that hand-for-hand play has officially begun.
Evandro Guimaraes raised to 12,000 and Joris Ruijs three-bet to 31,000 from two seats over, which Guimaraes called. The flop came and Guimaraes checked, Ruijs bet and won the pot.
One hand later, Guimaraes made it 13,000 to go and Ruijs three-bet again, this time to 36,000. Guimaraes called and the duo checked the flop and the turn. There was no betting action on the river either and Guimaraes flashed his cards, then mucked when Ruijs turned over his for a pair of queens.
The field has been reduced to the last 1,086 players and the dealers have been instructed to finish their current hand. Once that is taken care of, the tournament will be played hand-for-hand on the money bubble with two spots away from a $15,000 min-cash and the end of Day 3.
According to the rail, Laurence Grondin was down to her last 50,000 with just 20 players to go before the money and picked up pocket aces to double up. Shortly after, she found them again!
Grondin got up to 210,000 at one point, and she now sits with 185,000 just a few spots from the money.
From middle position, Marvin Rettenmaier opened to 15,000. The cutoff three-bet to 40,000 and Rettenmaier called. Rettenmaier check-called a continuation bet on and check-called 80,000 on the turn as well. The river completed the board and Rettenmaier checked a third time. His opponent bet a hefty 270,000 and Rettenmaier let it go after some minutes in the tank.
The money bubble is looming, and while many people are taking their time to make decisions, some are still playing pots with the hopes of accumulating as many chips as possible.
The latter was true for Peter Jetten and Christoph Vogelsang in the small and big blinds, respectively. With about 110,000 in the pot already, on a board reading , Jetten checked and Vogelsang took about a minute before betting 35,000. Jetten stared Vogelsang down for a short while before deciding to call.
The river was the and Jetten checked again. Vogelsang tanked for another minute or so and decided to check back. Jetten tabled for two pair, jacks and sixes. Vogelsang then showed for two pair, aces and tens, and scooped up the pot.
After Matthew Moss opened to 14,000 in early position, a player in middle position went all in for 77,000. It folded to 2015 November Niner Tom Cannuli on the button and he called. The blinds folded and so did Moss.
