There was a huge hand on table 58 just as level 8 was coming to a close and players were going on break.
There were 4 players in the hand on a flop of 
Benjamin-John Bauwens (bb) opened the action to 3,900 and Isham Yamani (utg) called. Then Pierre Pellerin (utg+1) raised to 8K. The action was on Ian Levine on the button – but he hadn’t noticed the raise and just put out 3,900. The dealer explained (and the floor was at the table supervising) that he could fold and leave the 3,900 there, or call. Ian elected to make the call. Action was back on Benjamin-John – and he chose to raise all-in for 38,050 chips.
The first to tank was Isham, who folded after some consideration. Pierre didn’t take long to make the call, cutting out the exact chips from his stack and pulling in the 8K he had raised with. The decision was now on Ian… who went in the tank… and after about a minute, reluctantly folded. The two remaining hands were flipped over.
Benjamin-John: 
Pierre: 
Pierre didn’t know it at the time, but he was drawing not just thin but dead, as Ian had folded the 
. The turn card was the 
– and it turns out that would have been an action card had Isham and Ian stayed in the hand – Isham had folded pocket 
and Ian was on the hearts draw (to the 
along with his ).
As it stands, the set of Nines held on the river 
and Benjamin-John stacked the chips before going on his break.
