The river betting amounts are not for the faint hearted today as lots of pressure is being applied.
Govert Metaal and Ilya Bulychev made it to the river of a 
board where the latter checked to the former. There was around 13,000 in the pot and Metaal bet 31,075. His Russian opponent check-folded.
Two hands later, Metaal opened to 600 and Erik Seidel called from the small blind to see a 
flop. Metaal continued for 700 and Seidel check-called to see the 
turn. Both players checked to the 
river where Seidel check-called a 3,600 bet. Metaal opened 
and Seidel mucked.
In between these hands on a nearby table, Nacho Barbero was in a world of pain in a hand verus Martin Finger. Around 40,000 had made it into the middle by the time the board rested as 
. Finger moved all in for an effective 29,000 and Barbero took five minutes to fold.
