Nick Petrangelo limped in and Iacopo Brandi moved all in for 53,000 from the cutoff to see all players behind fold. Petrangelo however made the call and they then waited for all other tables to finish their action.
Petrangelo:
Brandi:
Petrangelo said in table chat that he "feels the bad beat coming", but the board ran out instead to keep Brandi in the tournament.
The players have headed off on a 75-minute dinner break with the bubble yet to burst. They will return to hand-for-hand-play at approximately 8:30 p.m. local time just one spot off the money.
There was one flop on the table of Sean Winter, who immediately got back into the zone by ordering a massage upon restart, and another hand on the table of Vladimir Troyanovskiy. Mikita Badziakouski had raised from the hijack and fired one barrel on the flop before checking through the turn. Badziakouski then fired the river for 60,000 and that got Troyanovskiy to fold.
Mikita Badziakouski raised to 16,000 and Ezequiel Kleinman just flat-called out of the big blind. On the flop , Kleinman checked and then called a continuation bet worth 20,000 by Badziakouski. Both players proceeded to check down the turn and the river. Kleinman was first to show and his for ace-high won the pot.
Mukul Pahuja raised to 18,000 and Brian Yoon shoved from one seat over to enforce a quick fold.
In the same hand but on another table, Nick Petrangelo raised to 18,000 from the cutoff and Iacopo Brandi moved all in for 129,000 in the small blind. Petrangelo gave it some thought but also sent his cards into the muck.
With about 75,000 already in the pot, Team PokerStars Pro Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier fired out a 55,000-chip bet heads-up with fellow Frenchman Patrick Uzan.
The board read and after a good minute in the tank, Uzan came out calling.
ElkY showed finding a river flush and a ton of value, as Uzan mucked.
Przemyslaw Piotrowski opened the action with a raise to 18,000 from under the gun and Dan Smith called on the button. On the flop , Piotrowski checked and Smith bet 28,000 before the Pole then check-raised all in for 140,000. Smith asked the dealer to put in his betting chips and then quickly glanced over his remaining stack before folding.
The most bigger pots are played on the table of Vladimir Troyanovskiy. The first hand he had to give up against Mikita Badziakouski and then took revenge on a board before getting involved into another hand with Ezequiel Kleinman. The latter fired 50,000 on the river of a board out of the big blind. Troyanovskiy gave him the stare but found no information to commit any further chips and folded.
