Since the re-draw, play has been underway for roughly 20 minutes, and currently it has been the slowest 20 minutes of the whole tournament.
There have been a few shoves here and there and the occasional flop, but players seem to be content to just settle in to their new table and hope to navigate up the pay jumps that now chance every three spots before reaching the final table.
Jeffrey Johnston limped in from middle position only to have Heath Mendelsohn three-bet to 62,000 from the cutoff. With the action on Mike Watson on the button he cold four-bet to 116,000 as the action passed back to Johnston.
Johnston paused for a few moments before making it 266,000 to force Mendelsohn out of the pot as Watson pushed all in for 678,000 and Johnston called.
Johnston:
Watson:
With Watson looking at a 1.4 million-chip pot, the board ensured he claimed the chip lead as Johnston was left crippled with less than a big blind.
