Under the gun Keith Ferrera raised to 29,000 and Lisa Parsons called. From the button Stephane Hornet moved in for his last 121,000 and Ferrera came over the top and moved all in himself. Parsons got out of the way, though she might've wished she'd called when she saw Ferrera held {A-Hearts}

to Hornet's {A-Clubs}

.

The

board meant that neither Ferrera's nor Hornet's kickers played and so they took back their chips and divvied up the blinds, antes and the chips Parsons put into the pot.

and made the easy call, folding the early-position raiser. Mills showed {8-Clubs}

A short-stacked Charles Dolan decided he couldn't wait any longer. He picked his spot and got the last of his chips in before the flop holding {A-Diamonds}

. Joe Bishop looked him up and tabled {K-Clubs}

.

Dolan went into the flop with a sizable advantage but that edge was quickly negated when the flop came {A-Spades}

. Bishop flopped Broadway and left Dolan drawing to runner-runner for the win or a {Q-?}

to split the pot.

Neither came when the turn and river fell the {5-Diamonds}

and

respectively. Dolan hit the rail and Bishop cruised to just under the 1,000,000 chip mark

Shamus

We are seeing lots of players with dozens of stacks of yellow or orange chips before them. During the break, the tournament director announced an offer to color up chips for anyone with too many in front of them.

"It'll give you room to accumulate more," he added.

Hellmuth Awarded Designated Pacing Area

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

[user25067]

During the breaks of every WSOP event, including the Main Event, the players are required to leave the tournament area and remain outside the Amazon Room until five minutes before play recommences. During this particular break, Phil Hellmuth requested that he be allowed to remain in the room in order to "pace." Apparently, he's still fuming about that hand where his {6-?}

went down to Brandon Cantu's {J-Clubs}

.

Hellmuth was not permitted to remain in the Amazon Room, but he was shown into the back hallway, where he's pacing his tilt away.
