. Galen Hall was on the button and went for the reraise to take down the pot with the 
. He made it 735,000 to go, picking up on the play of the other two.
Mike Sowers was in the small blind and picked up on everything that was going on. He took his entire stack holding the 
and shipped it into the middle, moving all in for 3.4 million. Max Weinberg shipped it in from the big blind after waking up to the

This is some amazing poker being played by all of these young players.
