Just before the break a large pot emerged between Jack Salter and Victor Teng.
It started with Salter raising to 33,000 from middle position. Teng bumped it up to 77,000 from the button as the blinds got out of the way. Salter paused for a moment before four-betting to 179,000. It didn’t take Teng long to reach down for his chips before coming over the top for 336,000. Salter then slid his entire stack into the middle totalling over one million in chips which forced a fold from Teng almost instantly.
The six-bet shove see Salter rise to 1,590,000 in chips as Teng drops down to 1,315,000 in chips.
With players now combined on the unofficial final table, play has slowed dramatically as a simple raise and take being enough to take down the blinds and antes on most occasions.
Although the final table will be televised and played six-handed, the individual pay jumps begin at eighth place, and therefore the final nine have combined to play down to firstly eight and then the final table of six.
