Level: 28
Blinds: 50,000/100,000
Ante: 100,000
Andrew Moreno opened to 200,000 from the cutoff and received a single call from Ankush Mandavia out of the big blind.
Mandavia checked to the preflop raiser on the flop and Moreno continued for 125,000. After some thought, Mandavia raised to 300,000 which was enough to get Moreno to release his hand and send the small pot Mandavia's way.

With pay jump considerations on the participants' minds, play has slowed to a snail's pace since the break.
The 2022 PokerNews Cup at Golden Nugget has been a rousing success, easily surpassing the $1 million guarantee, and there's one hand that will probably be talked about for quite some time.
During Monday's Day 2 session in the $1,100 buy-in no-limit hold'em tournament, an odd flop appeared at one of the tables on the very first hand. The flop came out , , and Joker. Yes, a Joker was somehow left in the deck, and one player seated at another table captured the hand on video, which was then posted on the PokerNews YouTube channel.
With nearly a million chips in the pot on a board, Diego Sanchez checked in the big blind and Mohammad Siddiqui bet 475,000 in early position. Sanchez thought about it and called.
The completed the board and Sanchez checked. Siddiqui then slid out a bet of 1,000,000 to send Sanchez deep into the tank. Sanchez contemplated for several minutes while alternating looking at the board and his opponent.
"If I fold, you show?" Sanchez asked, but his question was met with silence.
Eventually, a player at the table called the clock, and Sanchez sent his cards into the muck before the tournament director started the clock procedure.
"You don't wanna see it," warned Siddiqui, before he was urged again to show by Sanchez. "You don't wanna see it, I'm telling you," he continued, before flipping over his .
"I'm done bluffing, guys," Siddiqui told the table as he collected the chips. "...until the next one."

Terence Reid put most of his chips into the middle from the cutoff, leaving himself just 50,000 behind. Albert Nguyen raised enough to force Reid all in from the small blind and Reid called to put himself at risk.
Terence Reid:
Albert Nguyen:
Reid was flipping for his tournament life but pulled way out in front on the flop. The turn changed little, with Reid needing to dodge aces and the last queen in the deck. He did just that on the river, earning himself a full double up.

Before the blinds went up, Diego Sanchez opened to 200,000 from early position and was called by Daniel Smiljkovic on the button. Terence Reid moved all in from the small blind and Sanchez made the call while Smiljkovic folded.
Terence Reid:
Diego Sanchez:
Reid was on the wrong end of a horrific cooler, being about as crushed as one can be preflop. The flop did give him a faint glimmer of hope but it came to nothing after the turn and river failed to change anything. Reid collects $40,068 for his efforts.

Ankush Mandavia:
Kashihara found himself on the right side of a cooler, and he locked up the double on the turn as the dealer ran out the board.
