First, there are now three 1M+ chip stacks. Dan Daconti (~1.1M) and Vinny Longo (~1M) are seated right next to each other with Longo having position. Jerry Johnson has also moved up to ~1M and is still at the top of the field after a full level of play since the break.
Chris Csik just put his tournament life on the line very close to the bubble and was rewarded with an ~600k pot.
Wu Zhou opened the pot from under the gun and was called by Csik in middle position. The flop came K♣Q♣10♦ and after a bet from Zhou, Csik moved all-in for ~260k. Zhou made the call to put him at risk.
Csik J♣9♣ vs Zhou A♣7♣
Turn: 9♦
River: 10♥
Csik flopped a huge hand and blocked quite a few of Zhou’s outs and was able to hold and survive on the bubble. It was a big recovery from being outplayed by Greg Fishberg a few hands before. Fishberg 3-bet a pre-flop open from Csik and got the fold taking down an ~4.5 big blind pot and improving his stack to ~450k.
After the hand, Zhou is down to ~200k.
