Nobody is able or willing to give us more information about what the issue is, but final-table play has been suspended. The tight-lipped producer would only admit a "technical glitch" of some manner.
After about 15-20 minutes of a back-room discussion, the floor staff and production team returned to the table and dismissed the players. We're on an impromptu break of unknown length, and that's really all the information we have right now.
The action has been paused for at least five minutes, probably closer to ten. We're not sure exactly what the issue is, and the players have begun to look around with a bit of impatient confusion as well.
We hope to be back playing cards soon; these delays are really mounting considering the already-late starting time.
Martin Schleich raised to 125,000 and then Eugene Katchalov three-bet to 300,000 in position. Action folded to Tomeu Gomila in the big blind and he announced a reraise. Gomila moved all in and both Schleich and Katchalov folded.
Eugene Katchalov check-called a bet on the flop from Tomeu Gomila before the landed on the turn. Katchalov checked again and Gomila fired 150,000. Katchalov called.
The river was the to pair the board and Katchalov checked. Gomila fired a much larger 800,000 and sent Katchalov into the tank. After a few minutes, he folded and Gomila won the pot.
Welcome to the game Dragan Kostic. He took a flop with Saar Wilf and Eugene Katchalov after the latter had raised to 110,00. It came and Katchalov ducked out of the way when Wilf bet 225,000.
Kostic called and then he picked up the betting reigns with a 350,000 bet on the turn. It did the job as Wilf folded.
Eugene Katchalov raised to 110,000 to open the pot from late position, and Raul Mestre three-bet to 275,000 from the blinds. Katchalov put in the fourth bet, sliding out what looked like 675,000. Mestre spent a while thinking it over, but he eventually surrendered his cards into the muck to let Katchalov take this one, recouping some of those losses from their last encounter.
Raul Mestre raised to 110,000 to start things off and then action folded to Saar Wilf on the button. He flat-called and then play moved over to Eugene Katchalov in the big blind. Katchalov three-bet to 360,000. Mestre made the call and then Wilf came along as well.
The flop fell and Katchalov bet 550,000. Mestre raised to 1.1 million and Wilf folded. Katchalov tanked for a couple of minutes and then gave it up, letting Mestre take this one down.
