One of the most experienced players remaining in the field, Ari Engel, has just eliminated Thomas Cemm and joined the chip-leaders deep in the partypoker Million North America.
Thomas opened from the cutoff, and was met with a 3bet to 6,600,000 from Ari in the big blind. He replied with a 4bet to 25,300,000, leaving himself with less than 5,000,000 behind. Ari made the call, and then moved all-in once the flop was dealt.
