Peter Eichhardt open-shoved from the button for 5,000,000 on the nose and it folded to chip leader Steven Bennett in the big blind. He thought for a few minutes and called to put Eichhardt at risk.

Bennett: 2s2h
Eichhardt: 8d8h

“Oh,” Bennett said. “I had too many chips.”

Eichhardt was ahead with the bigger pair and pulled a double up on the Jd9d3dQh6c board.

Very little action over most of Level 35 with everyone waiting for Nicholas Mahabee to make a move. But he’s in no hurry either.

Mahabee caught a small double up and chopped two pots with Jack Shea, but it’s been small ball the rest of the time. There was one big, three-bet pot that had 5,000,000 in the middle preflop between Shea and Peter Eichhardt but it was checked down.
