Stephane Hansen, down to just 14,000, open-shoved, and Ganesh Bathmanathan flat-called. Over to Ian Frazer -- who reraised to 50,000, leaving himself just 17,000 behind.
Bathmanathan spent some time apparently undergoing some kind of internal struggle which seeped out of his mouth in the form of lots of words, before passing and showing Frazer , "Out of respect."
One player who seems to be bumping and grinding and getting involved in a lot of pots is 2007 bracelet winner David Stucke. Twice I've seen players defend thier big blind (Green and Rouz) against him and on both occasions they led out on the flop, only to fold to a two-bet from Stucke.
While the good folk of Table 1 had already wandered off on break, over on Table 2 there were fireworks.
David Stucke raised, only for William Martin to reraise. Stucke moved all in to cover him, Martin called, and they were on their backs.
Stucke:
Martin:
Board:
An unnamed but very loud gentleman in a suit, who has been railing Mr. Martin all day and for some reason insists on calling him "Ivey", went absolutely crazy with joy, while Martin wandered off to his break and left the dealers to colour up his new stack into larger-denomination chips for him.
Martin is all of a sudden way, way up there on 200,000, while Stucke is way, way down on 107,000.

, "Out of respect."
