Prop Negotiating Cont.

Finally, Patrik Antonius has a taker for prop betting flops. Sam Trickett tried to negotiate down to $10k a pop, but Antonius said he wouldn't agree to anything less than $25k. Trickett agreed and took hearts and diamonds, leaving Antonius with spades and clubs. If a flop comes out with three of their suit, they get $25,000. Be warned, Sam. Antonius runs really well at these.

Hunger Strike

Tom Dwan and Sam Trickett are waiting to order food, and they're starting to get impatient. Sam said he's leaving if he doesn't get food soon, and Dwan said he will refuse to rebuy til he's eaten. "I'll sit here and grind a $1,700 stack. That's my penalty."

Back in Action

The televised part of the game is underway again. Currently we have:

Seat 1: Patrik Antonius
Seat 3: Tom Dwan
Seat 6: David Benyamine
Seat 8: David Oppenheim

Break Time

While the crew goes to dinner, Patrik Antonius, Phil Ivey, Tom Dwan, David Benyamine, and David Oppenheim are playing a variation of Omaha.

Actually, they got tired of that after a few hands and went to stretch their legs.

Action will resume at 9:00 local time.

More Line Up Tango

We're not exactly sure who is going where right now. Erik Cajelais left. It appears that despite Tom Dwan's attempt to get him to stay, Mike Matusow is racking up his chips. Patrik Antonius still has his stack on the table, but he's been gone for about 10 minutes.

The camera crews get a break soon, and the players are debating whether they will continue playing through the break.

Cajelais Unlucky Again

It just hasn't been Erik Cajelais' day. After some raising preflop, David Benyamine check-called a bet on the {k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop. There was around $75,000 in the middle when he checked again. Cajelais bet 45,000. And Benyamine calmly moved all in. Erik called quickly.

Cajelais: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}
Benyamine: {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}

Cajelais looked miserable as the dealer put down the {5-Diamonds} as the final nail in his coffin. Cajelais had around 90,000 left, all of which went to Benyamine. There is now an open seat in the game.
