The final 20-minute break has just started.
2017 PokerStars Festival London
Alfie Adam opened the action and two short stacks moved all in behind him. Waheed Ashraf called the largest all in and Adam responded by moving all in over the top of him.
“Why did you do that?” Wadey wanted to know of Adam.
Another player objected to the talking during a multi-way pot but Ashraf pointed out that there was no more action. The floor was called and it was established that he could not talk in the pot even though three players were all in.
Ashraf threw his hand in and was aghast when he saw Adam turn over . He was up against the and of the at risk players.
The board ran out and Adam collected the pot busting two players.
“You want to be careful,” Wadey continued at Adam, “Someone else could have called you with my hand.”
“I had to protect my hand.” Adam explained.
That pot pushed Adam to around 135,000.

On the table of Kully Sidhu, a hand just took place that may cause some nightmares still. After some preflop action, Martin Schoettke and table neighbor Tristan Maclaren invested 8,000 on the flop. On the turn, Schoettke wanted to go all in but didn't say anything and pushed forward his stack in two movements.
The dealer stopped right there and said that only the first move counted as bet, which amounted to 15,000. Maclaren wanted to push all in, but didn't say anything either and splashed in 15,000 - exactly how much the call would be. The then came on the river and suddenly Schoettke checked, causing different reactions at the table. Maclaren pushed all in and Schoettke folded ... with 4,000 behind.
Maclaren showed to claim the pot and Schoettke busted soon after.

Pokerstars Team Pro Jake Cody has tweeted that the person who guess closest to how many chips he finishes with today will get 1% of his action and the top 12 closest will win a PokerStars hip flask.
There are a flood of guesses already with quite a few opting for zero. Shame on you!
