Play Resumes

The seven have returned to the table to pick up the action, and the cards are back in the air. One hour remains in the current level.

Ivey is munching on an apple and looking rather ho-hum at the moment.

Break Time

Steve Begleiter - 16,225,000
Eric Buchman - 55,575,000

The last big hand with Eric Buchman and Joe Cada livened up the crowd a little bit. Cada's group of supporters began chanting, "Cada! Cada! Cada!" and have seemed to awaken a bit.

Hand #171 - Split Pot, Joe Cada and Eric Buchman

Phil Ivey has the button. Joe Cada opens the pot from under the gun for 1.5 million. Darvin Moon, almost comatose for the last hour, calls in position before action passes to big blind Eric Buchman. He moves all in; Cada quickly moves all in as well! Once Moon flips his cards into the muck we get a look at the hands.

Buchman: {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs}
Cada: {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts}

Well that's not very exciting, even less so when the flop comes {J-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}. Things get much, much, MUCH more exciting with the {Q-Clubs} turn. Some people believe that clubs always get there. Could that be the case here?

No. {J-Hearts} on the river. Chop it up, much to Cada's relief.

Hand #169 - Jeff Shulman

Jeff Shulman has the button. Joe Cada is second to speak and opens to 1.5 million after a fold from Eric Buchman. That raise causes Antoine Saout to pitch his cards into the muck. Shulman then re-raises to 4.5 million. Darvin Moon and Phil Ivey fold from the blinds and the young Cada is once again forced to consider a decision. This time around he opts to fold.

There were 169 hands played at last year's final table before Ivan Demidov and Peter Eastgate were the last two standing. Looks like we're going to shatter that mark tonight.

Hand #168 - Phil Ivey

Antoine Saout has the button. For the second time in three orbits, Ivey open-shoves all in from under the gun. Just like the last time, nobody is interested in doubling him up as everyone folds rather quickly.
