The Timex/Cody saga continued with Timex raising to 220,000 and Cody reraising to 490,000. Back to Timex, and he re-popped to 1.1 million. Cody announced all in. Timex announced call.
The pot - 8.63 million. Good lord.
Cody:
Timex McDonald:
Flop:
Cody walked off, unable to look.
Turn:
Cody, now with a few more outs, went back to the table.
River:
Cody closed his eyes and looked as though he was going to cry.
McDonald enjoys a full double up to 8.63 million and the chip lead. Cody is left with 1.115 million and a bunch of sadness.
It looked like we were going to have some serious action when a raise to 220,000 from Mike McDonald was met with a reraise to 490,000 from Jake Cody. Back around to McDonald, and he announced all in - but Cody swiftly passed, and McDonald took the pot without the hassle of a showdown.
Craig Bergeron moved all in, and Teodor Caraba called. A race!
Bergeron:
Caraba:
Board: Bink!
With that, Bergeron flipped his way up to 3.76 million. Caraba remains the chip leader, but it's rather closer between him and Jake Cody now than it was.
First into the pot from the small blind, Mike McDonald moved all in to put the pressure on Claudius Secara. In the big blind, he peeked down at and quickly made the call for his tournament life. He was ahead of McDonald's , but Timex was drawing live for the knockout.
Secara's plight would further improve, and his double up would come on a board running . He's up close to 1.2 million thanks to that double dip, while Timex slips back around 3 million.
First hand back, and blind on blind, Craig Bergeron announced all in. A moment of tension as Stephane Albertini thought about it, but he eventually passed and Bergeron took the pot.
The next hand, it folded around to Bergeron on the button - and again, he moved all in. Everyone folded once more, and he's up to 1.9 million or so.
