Level 8: 400/800 with a 100 ante
Entries: 305

The largest pot so far erupted on the last hand before the first break.

On a flop, the player in the small blind bet 3,000, and Patrick Eskandar raised to 6,000 a couple seats over. The small blind clicked it back to 9,000, and Eskander four-bet. “Sixteen thousand five hundred twenty-five,” he announced, then cut the requisite chips into the pot. The small blind called.
