The clock was ticking down to the 1-hour dinner break when Michael Goldfarb and Chris Bolek tangled up.

Bolek responded by putting Goldfarb all-in and he went deep in the tank. He tried to get a read off Bolek by telling him he had eight outs, never getting a reaction from his opponent.

As the clock ticked over into the dinner break, Goldfarb send “let’s gamble” and turned over for the open-ended straight draw versus Bolek’s .

The dinner-break gamble didn’t pay off when the river came to send Goldfarb out in 7th place for $2,401 while Bolek moved over 800,000.
