Hand #231 - Saout Takes It on the River

Joe Cada has the button. Action folds to small blind Antoine Saout, who mixes things up with a raise to 1.775 million. Jeff Shulman decides he wants to see a flop.

Both players check the {3-Spades} {k-Spades} {9-Clubs} flop. The turn is the {6-Hearts}. Saout checks a a second time, but not Shulman. He bets 2.0 million. Saout tanks for about a minute and then calls to the {4-Hearts} river, our first non-all-in river in what seems like an eternity. Saout reaches for chips and bets 2.975 million. Shulman folds.

Hand #230 - Darvin Moon

Eric Buchman has the button. Darvin Moon is the preflop aggressor with a raise to 2 million. To the aggressor go the chips, and Moon earns a few more.

It's tough to find creative ways to say raise-fold over and over agin this deep into the night.

Going and Going and Going and Going

For those of you still following our coverage, we thank you. We know it's been long (13 hours, 30 minutes to be exact), but the players are still trekking along in hopes of making it to the end of the night where only two remain.

As you can see from the updates, the tournament has slowed down greatly. We haven't seen a flop in who knows how long and we're not sure the next time we will. The players themselves look shot and don't really seem to be interested in playing poker anymore. Well, everyone but Joe Cada. Cada's youth seems to be the overhwelming factor as he takes advantage of the older and more tired players still left to do battle.

The old adage is to quit playing when you're too tired to play your A-game, but what happens when you can't quit?

Eric Buchman has the button. He opens to 2.0 million. For the second hand in a row, Joe Cada three-bets. This time he makes it 6.0 million. Once again he encounters no further resistance from Buchman.

Hand #224 - Joe Cada

Darvin Moon has the button. The table folds to the blinds, and Eric Buchman makes it 2 million from the small blind. Joe Cada thinks it over for a minute or two before sticking in a three-bet to 5,800,000 total. Buchman gets the message and lets him take the pot.
