The remaining players seemed to be in no hurry to get their chips in the middle and it was becoming desperate for more than a few as the average stack dropped to 22 big blinds.

Mike Policastro thought he found the perfect spot to get some chips back.

Rogelio Padilla open-shoved for 375,000 from under the gun and the move made it around to Policastro in the small blind. He moved all in to get a fold from the big blind and Padilla was not happy to see the hands.

Policastro:

Padilla was halfway out of his seat when the dealer put out the flop. He sat back down after hitting the set and Policastro could not return the favor on the turn or . He was down to 240,000 and hit the payout desk on the next hand.

The pace slowed after the three-table redraw but they are heating back up. The biggest hand of the tournament so far saw Alfred Karlsson open to 50,000 from under the gun and Bryon Schenk three-bet to 76,000 from the cutoff.

The button and blinds released before Karlsson called to the flop. Karlsson checked, Schenk bet 80,000 and Karlsson called again.

It was a bigger bet of 325,000 from Schenk after Karlsson checked and he called after checking out Schenk’s stack. He had 417,000 behind and put them in the middle after Karlsson checked the river.

“I have a good hand,” Karlsson told Schenk.

After a few minutes, he tossed in a calling chip and Schenk tabled his hand.

“I only have three sevens,” Schenk said to get a laugh from the rest of the table. His was good and Karlsson mucked. Schenk moved into the lead while Karlsson was left with a short stack.

Bryon Schenk – 1,900,000 (79 bb)
