Birds on the Rail

We haven't yet reached our "official" final table but a decent-sized rail has started to form over the last half-hour. A group of 2+2-ers has taken over one side, while about two dozen Russians and Germans are conversing in their native tongues on the other. Many of the Germans are wearing their national colors of red, yellow, and black and carrying German flags. A few bracelet winners are hovering around as well-- Scott Seiver (who offered to fetch Matt Marafioti a Red Bull for $500) and Alex Kravchenko, who has been stealthily camping out in media row in between bouts of pacing.

Stein Moves Jetten

Peter Jetten and Sam Stein had built a pot of close to 200,000 by the time the river arrived on a {8-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {J-Hearts} board. Jetten was leading the betting, and he fired out a healthy wager of 150,000, about a third of his remaining stack.

When Stein slid out a raise to 355,000 total, Jetten sunk in his chair, and he asked the dealer to pull in the call so he could see what he was facing. It was another 205,000 to him, and Jetten had just 340,000 in front of his spot. He mumbled to himself for several minutes, throwing out the occasional expletive as he toyed with the decision. Finally, he folded.

That leaves him with just those 340,000 chips, and Sam Stein is now sitting right at the million-chip mark.

Marafioti Gets Some Value

Matt Marafioti limped in from the small blind and Peter Jetten checked his option. Marafioti checked to Jetten on the {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} flop. He bet 30,000 and Marafioti called. Both players checked the {A-Clubs} on the turn. The river fell the {7-Hearts} and Marafioti checked a third time. Jetten tanked for about 60 seconds before settling on a 90,000 bet. Mariafioti called.

Marafioti showed {J-Clubs}{10-Spades} for the straight and Jetten mucked. Marafioti is up to 815,000.

Dinner Time!

Our final ten players have been sent off for their one-hour dinner break, so we're going to do the same.

We'll be back when play resumes at 8:45 p.m.

Marafioti Flops a Double Up

Tom Marchese opened the pot in late position, and a reraising war left Matt Marafioti all in for 337,000 in the small blind. And he was in bad shape:

Marchese: {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}
Marafioti: {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}

Marafioti was dominated, but things would improve in a hurry. The flop came {Q-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} to give him a big lead and leave him needing only to fade running cards to survive. The turn {7-Hearts} and river {9-Hearts} improved him even further, and Marafioti flushes his way to a big double up. That puts him at 694,000, knocking Marchese back down a peg to 873,000.

Dani Stern Doubles Through Konstantin Bucherl

Jacks are good!
Jacks are good!

Dani Stern opened for 45,000 and the action folded around to Konstantin Bucherl in the big blind. He three-bet to 130,000 and after a short tank, Stern declared a pot-sized reraise. Bucherl moved all-in and Stern called.

Stern {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}
Bucherl {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}

Stern flopped a set on the {J-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds} board and doubled up to 1,024,000. Bucherl is down to 1.3 million.
