Right now, the average chip stack of 3.605 million is just over 60 big blinds deep. That means we could be here for a while.
Hats off to the Crown tournament staff for incorporating two dealers into action in order to speed things up. Two dealers working and two-hour levels with deep stacks should allow for some very creative play if these players choose to mix things up.
Hand #108: From the button, David Gorr raised to 200,000. Everyone folded.
Hand #109: Jeff Rossiter got a walk in the big blind.
Hand #110: James Keys raised from the button to 130,000, not mis-clicking this time. Everyone folded and he won the pot.
Hand #111: Jeff Rossiter raised to 140,000. Michael Ryan called from the big blind and the flop came down . Ryan led out for 200,000 and Rossiter folded.
Hand #112: Jeff Rossiter raised preflop for the second hand in a row. He made it 140,000 from under the gun. Everyone folded and he won the pot.
Hand #113: David Gorr raised to 130,000. He was under the gun and action folded to Jeff Rossiter in the big blind. He three-bet to 360,000 and won the pot.
Hand #114: Michael Ryan raised to 130,000 from under the gun to win the blinds and antes.
Hand #115: Action folded to David Gorr in the small blind and he raised to 130,000. Michael Ryan called from the big blind and would have position for the entire hand.
The flop came down and both players checked to see the fall on the turn. Both checked again and the fell on the river. Gorr checked and Ryan checked.
Gorr tabled the for a pair of twos. Ryan showed the for a pair of sevens. Sevens are greater than twos and Ryan won the pot.
Hand #107: James Keys opened to 240,000 from the cutoff.
"Was that a mis-click?" asked Jeff Rossiter referring to his 4-big blind open.
A laughing Keys stated yes, but it would be Michael Ryan who would be the most happiest at his mis-click as he moved all in for 1,375,000 from the big blind to force a fold from Keys.
