That massive pot was the last hand before the players went on break. Play will continue in just a few minutes.
Sean Getzwiller came in for a raise to 110,000 and Dutch Boyd called in the small blind. Joe Kuether was in the big blind and he made a raise to 280,000. It was back to Getzwiller, who went into the tank for a while. After about three minutes of thinking, he announced raise and assembled a massive bet of 455,000 on top of Kuether's raise. Boyd got out of the way and it was back to Kuether. After about a minute, he went all in and was snap called by Getzwiller. It was fairly obvious what we were looking at, and when the cards were flipped, the preflop cooler was confirmed.
Kuether: 
Getzwiller: 
Not only did Getzwiller have the one hand that could beat Kuether, but he also had both of his suits, meaning Kuether would need a two-outer to win. The flop came out 
and Getzwiller was still out in front. He stayed there on the turn, the 
, and the river, the 
. Getzwiller scooped the massive pot and is now a huge chip leader as we go on break. Meanwhile, Kuether is down to three big blinds.

Ian Mack raised under the gun to 115,000 and action folded around to Joe Kuether in the cutoff. He has moved in a couple of times without getting called in the last hour or two and he just did so again by three-betting his stack of exactly 1.1 million. Mack went into the tank for nearly five minutes before deciding to make the call.
Mack: 
Kuether: 
The flop put Kuether in the lead when it came off 
, but he would have to sweat it out as two paint cards would hit the board. But the 
and were not what Mack was looking for and he sent about half of his stack over to the other side of the table.

James Mordue came in for a raise to 110,000 and action folded around to Jeff Fielder in the small blind. Fielder took about 30 seconds to count out his chips, then announced himself all in for 495,000. It folded back around to Mordue, who started to go in the tank. Mordue cut out the chips for a call and, on two different occassions, it looked like he was going to call, as he moved his chips slightly forward before pulling them back. Finally, after over three minutes of thinking, he let his hand go, giving the pot to Fielder.

James Mordue, the quietest player so far today, raised from the hijack to 110,000 before Kevin Calenzo three-bet on the button to 310,000. Mordue double-checked his hand and made the call.
The flop was 
and both players quickly checked. The turn was the and once again, both players decided to check. The 
river was checked down just as fast as the first two streets and Mordue flipped over 
. It proved to be good as Calenzo threw his cards to the muck.

Level 28
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
In the last six or seven hands, we have only seen one flop. With no single stack being extremely high or low, it looks like we may be at a deadlock at nine for some time.
Ian Mack raised it to 130,000 in the hijack seat and James Mordue called in the cutoff. Dutch Boyd also came along in the big blind and the three players saw a flop of 
. Boyd checked to Mack, who fired out 170,000. Mordue thought for just a few moments before shoving all in for 400,000 on top. Boyd quickly folded and, after about 20 seconds of thinking, Mack folded as well. That hand got Mordue back to over one million, while Mack remains the chip leader.

Level 28
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Action folded around to the button, Jeff Fielder, who raised to 110,000. Jeff Madsen folded his small blind moving the action to Sean Getzwiller in the big blind. He asked Fielder how much he started the hand with, which was just under one million, and then slid out 400,000 more chips to go along with his big blind.
After a few moments, Fielder said, "I know you're making a move, I just know it."
Getzwiller rolled his eyes, put his hoodie over his head and said, "Let me know when you fold," which got a laugh from the whole table. After another minute, Getzwiller goaded his opponent some more. "You're never calling, just fold already." Eventually, Fielder did fold as he exposed the while doing so.
