Machado Leads On Dinner; Pedersen Joins the Big Stacks
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Manuel Machado had won a big pot to leave Ryan Sang short and may become the first player with an eight-figure stack.
Not far behind is Denmark's Mathias Pedersen, who just emptied the clip against Yuan Yu in the last hand before the dinner break.
Yu opened to 80,000 from under the gun and Pedersen three-bet to 210,000 from two seats over for Yu to call.
Following the Q♦5♠5♣ flop, Yu check-called for 150,000 and did so again for 450,000 on the 2♦ turn. The 7♦ river completed the board and Yu checked the third street in a row with less than pot size behind. Pedersen moved all-in and Yu tank-folded.
