Hand #167 - Split Pot, Antoine Saout and Jeff Shulman

Joe Cada has the button. It folds all the way around the table to small blind Antoine Saout who limps into the pot. Jeff Shulman checks behind for a flop of {K-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {4-Hearts}. Both players check to the {5-Clubs} turn and check again to the {A-Diamonds} river. It checks again, with both players showing a {Q-?} in their hand to split the pot, a pair for fours with ace, king and queen kicker.

Hand #165 - Joe Cada

Steve Begleiter has the button. He opens to 1.5 million once everyone in front of him mucks their hands. Eric Buchman folds the small blind; Joe Cada does the complete opposite from the big blind when he raises all in. It's a huge raise, about 17 million, and Begleiter shows no interest in calling.

We're still seven handed over here and Jack Effel just reminded everyone that last year it took 169 hands to make it down to heads-up play. We're closing in on that number and the finish line is nowhere in site. It's gone from "it could be a long night" to "it's going to be a long night".

Hand #162 - Steve Begleiter

Jeff Shulman has the button. Under the gun, Steve Begleiter opens the pot to 1.5 million. Phil Ivey flat-calls for a significant portion of his remaining chips, and it's heads up the rest of the way.

Ivey checked the flop of {2-Clubs} {8-Spades} {10-Spades}, and Begleiter moved all in. Ivey folded in the blink of an eye.
