Danchev and Herm Butt Heads

After being crippled by Eugene Katchalov, Takashi Ogura hit the rail in 29th place. That means we are now on the stone bubble, but before hand-for-hand play officially began, Dimitar Danchev and Mark Herm got involved in a massive pot.

We reached the table on the river of a board. Danchev checked, Herm fired out 27,500, and Danchev potted it, moving all in for 113,000. Herm tanked for well over five minutes, standing up, sitting down, standing up, sitting down, standing up, and then finally sitting down once more. He sipped on his Red Bull and stared at the 2013 PCA Main Event winner, who sat silently with one hand on his cheek.
