: 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante
The floor asked if they might wanten to shorten the break, but Ismail Erkenov preferred the 20- instead of 15-minute break, and so we're back in twenty minutes.

Ihar Soika opened to 240,000 from the under the gun position, the minimum raise. Action folded to Benjamin Pollak in the big blind. He announced all in, and before we could count, Soika had made the call.

on the river was there just to put some salt in the Frenchman's wound.
