Wrong Tournament, Buddy
Four tables have been moved up to Studio 3, where the final table of the $100k challenge is taking place. We think that they think it'll add a little atmosphere to the room and cut the tension with so much money at stake.
Annette Obrestad, Mel Juda and Sam Capra's tables are three that have moved. Capra has Yin Li and Jean-Paul Helderman for company and the latter of these two just risked his whole stack against the former.
Li raised from the button only to face a Helderman three-bet to 1,300 from the small blind. His response was to four-bet to 4,500. Helderman really wanted the pot though and shoved for another 30,000 to force a fold from Li.
A few minutes later, Li was looking at the players taking their seats for the restart of the $100k challenge and, thinking it was a Main Event Day 1b table, he said how he thought it was very unlucky that Joe Hachem and Tony G had been drawn together. Capra laughed and pointed out Nam Le, Sam Trickett and Sorel Mizzi, before making Li aware of his mistake.
