David Sands raised to 57,000 and Shannon Shorr reraised to 139,000. Sands moved all in and Shorr instantly called, tabling 1010.

Sands showed AK and the two players were off to the races for a pot worth over 1 million. The board fell 1086K2 and Shorr doubled up.

Action folded around to Gabe Patgorski on the button and he raised enough to put both Brandon Adams and Bernard Lee all in.

Lee made the call and showed AJ, which was ahead of Patgorski’s K8. The board fell 103342 and Lee doubled up to around 400,000 in chips.

Shannon Shorr raised to 50,000 and was called by both blinds in Gabe Patgorski and Brandon Adams. The flop came down A94 and everyone checked.

The turn was the J and Patgorski bet 27,000. Adams then moved all in for 111,000 and Shorr made the call. Pagorski folded and Shorr showed A2, which was temporarily behind Adams and his A5.

The river was the 8 and the players chopped up the pot.

David Sands raised to 47,000 and Jim Anderson moved all in behind him for 343,000. Shannon Shorr then moved all in to isolate and Sands mucked his hand.

Shorr showed QQ, but was well behind to Anderson’s AA. The board fell K10578 and Anderson doubled up to about 700,000. Shorr is now down to roughly 425,000.

The players have returned from the break to increased blinds of 10,000-20,000 with a 3,000 ante.

The end of the level came and tournament director/announcer Charlie Ciresi announced a 15-minute break. Then the production staff said there wasn’t a break. Then Ciresi overruled and said that they were still going to follow the initial structure, sending the players on their break.

See you in 15 minutes.

We’re going to do our best to bring you as much of the action as possible, but be advised that we don’t have access to the final table because it is being filmed for the Versus channel.

The tournament director is announcing the action but isn’t providing specifics. For that reason, we may have to sum up the action for some of the hands.
