The first hand was taken by Devilfish, with a simple preflop raise.
The second was taken by Seidel in similar fashion.
The third hand, Leif Force raised in position and Dan Shak called from the small blind. Force took it down without a fuss on the flop.
Fourth hand, and Devilfish raised from the button, only for chip leader Dan Shak to reraise in the big blind. Devilfish thought about it for a long time, but ultimately decided to pass.
There's a final table behind us, which would seemingly be $1,500 no-limit hold'em. The chants coming from the spectators over there are way better than the chants from the spectators here, which are non-existent. Our spectators really need to pick it up unless they're ok with being out-chanted and out-spectated.
They made some introductions. One of these players' poker ambitions is to meet Erick Lindgren, which seems like not such an ambitious ambition. But whatever! Cards are in the air. 12 minutes are left in this level.
There are no fewer than 13 bracelets at this final table - Seidel eight, Green three, Ulliott and Hollink one each - and almost all the spectator seats have already been filled, in spite of the players not actually being here yet.
Dan Shak didn't realize what he was starting when he opened for pot (70,000) pre-flop. Chris Bell was next to act and re-potted to 240,000, which put him more or less all in. Jeremy Harkin, in the small blind, then moved his whole stack into the middle as well. Perry Green (the big blind) and Shak quickly folded, leaving Bell all in alone against Harkiin. Bell showed against Harkin's . Bell flopped a pair, ; Harkin turned a bigger pair with the , and then Bell rivered a Broadway straight with the to take down the pot. He's up to about 560,000 while Harkin has fallen to about 250,000.
