The players are now taking their second break of the day.
2013 World Series of Poker
Most of the action occurred preflop on this hand and it began when Sandeep Pulusani opened to 43,000 from under the gun. Nam Le reraised to 106,000 from middle position and then it folded around to Martin Hanowski, the small blind, who 4-bet to 200,000. Pulusani folded and Le calculatingly counted out his chips for a 5-bet to 330,000. It appeared that Hanowski was contemplating his options and chose just to call.
The flop came and Le was first to act. He made it 200,000, leaving only 151,000 behind. Hanowski went into a 4-minute tank. He eventually decided to fold and even that took 20 seconds as he obviously didn't want to let go of his hand.

Mike Teltscher raised to 40,000 from under the gun +1, and action folded to Michael Rocco in the small blind. He three bet it to 110,000, and Martin Hanowski was in the big blind. He got a count on Teltscher's stack, and after a minute or so of tanking, he four bet to 210,000. Teltscher frustratingly folded his hand, and Rocco rechecked his hole cards, and wasted little time in five betting to 475,000. Hanowski starred at Rocco for a few moments before moving all in. Rocco rechecked his hole cards and folded after about three seconds.
