Balsiger and Thomas Battle
We just had a big, tense hand happen over at the secondary feature table, the last one before the dinner break.
Jacob Balsiger opened for 400,000 from the hijack seat, then Russell Thomas reraised from the button for 1,050,000. Both blinds folded, and Balsiger sat peering across the table, his eyes moving up and down from Thomas to his stack. Finally he made the call.
The flop came monotone — — and Balsiger quickly checked. Thomas didn't wait too long before betting 1.2 million, and Balsiger thought a short while before carving out the chips to call.
The turn was the , putting a fourth spade on the board. Balsiger checked again, and after about a half-minute pause Thomas bet 1.6 million. Balsiger sat motionless for two minutes, then raised to 3.2 million. A minute more passed, and Thomas called.
The river brought the . Balsiger didn't wait too long before pushing out stacks of lavender chips for a bet of 3 million. After thinking a short while longer, Thomas pushed his cards to the dealer.

Koroknai Three-Bet Jams Twice, Doubles Once
Marc Ladouceur raised to 410,000 on the button, and Andras Koroknai moved all in from the big blind. Ladouceur mucked, and Koroknai took down the pot.
On the very next hand, Greg Merson opened to 420,000 from under the gun, and the action folded to Koroknai, who moved all in for 4.325 million from the small blind. Elisabeth Hille folded from the big blind, and Merson snapped it off.
Merson:
Koroknai:
The 
flop was no help for Merson, and neither was the 
on the turn. Koroknai dodged Merson's six outs when the completed the board, doubling to 9.91 million.
Merson is still very healthy with 16.935 million.

Straight Over Straight Allows Merson to Double Big
Greg Merson raised to 400,000 from middle position only to have Wilfried Harig three-bet to 960,000 from the button. The blinds both got out of the way and Merson made the call.
Both players proceeded to check the flop, bringing about the turn. Merson led out for 1.05 million, Harig called, and the peeled off on the river. Merson took a moment before announcing that he was all in for 8.385 million, and Harig snap-called.
Merson slapped down for the nuts, and his cheering section erupted; meanwhile, a shell-shocked Harig revealed for the inferior nine-high straight.
