Unfortunately, we didn't catch the action on this hand but with about 170,000 in the pot and the board reading 
an opponent in the big blind checked. Dietrich Fast was on the button and fired out a bet of 115,000. The big blind tanked for what seemed like five minutes or possibly more... he apologized to the table a couple of times who all responded, "take your time". Fast didn't seem to have any care to call a clock and after the long deliberation, he folded.

Chris Ferguson opened from under the gun and picked up calls from Roman Korenev in the small blind and big blind Jimmy Guerrero.
The flop was 
and a check from Korenev saw Guerrero take the betting lead for a modest 17,000. Ferguson called and Korenev folded.
The turn was the 
and a check from Guerrero saw Ferguson bet 50,000. This seemed to amuse and torture Guerrero in equal measure and he seemed unsure what to do next.
In the end though he folded and Ferguson’s rebuilding continues.

Roman Korenev has been quietly and aggressively amassing an empire on one of the end tables. The Russian pro has passed Matt Berkey for the chip lead and is just under the one million chip mark.
Korenev has a plethora of final table finishes amounting over $1.5 million in live recorded earnings. He has yet to win a recorded live event but with four major tournament final tables already reached this year and ten over the 2016 campaign, it is just a matter of time until he breaks through. Keep an eye on him as the event progresses.
