Niall Farrell opened to 35,000 from middle position and James Chen reraised to about 508,000 from the small blind. Oleksii Khoroshenin (with about 160,000 in the big blind) folded, and Farrell tanked for a little while before he reraised all in for about 700,000.
"I have to call," said Chen. "I didn't see your open."

Igor Kurganov opened under the gun for 47,000 and action folded to Larry Greenberg in the small blind. Greenberg pushed for 304,000 total and Rainer Kempe in the big blind went into the tank. The German contemplated his options for a bit before he let it go. Kurganov called instantly.

Jonathan Jaffe, a part-time dolphin trainer and poker pro, shoved his last 163,000 to the middle from middle position. His neighbor Mustapha Kanit called from the hijack. The cutoff, button, and both blinds all folded.
We found Stefan Schillhabel in the tank and on the button with the board reading . Byron Kaverman had put a bet of 350,000 into the pot, which contained over 800,000 chips already. Haralabos Voulgaris called for a clock, and the tournament supervisor made his way over. Voulgaris said it had been over three minutes, so the 40-second clock was put on Schillhabel.
