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.

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.

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.

With Stephane Reusser pushing all in from the cutoff for a total of 23,400, the action ground to a halt on Said Englund on the button who, after meticulous thought, made the call. David Stucke also seemed interested in the small blind, but made a pained fold, and after JP Kelly had ducked out of the way in the big, the cards were revealed: Englund with ; Reusser .
But poker's a cruel, sadistic game, and none more so than when the money gets steep. On this occasion, it was Reusser who felt their wrath, the river of a board dealing the fatal low blow and sending him home.
