They Call it the Dinner Break
29 minutes ago
It's 7:00 p.m. and that means it's time for our two-hour dinner break. Seven players remain and they'll need all the fuel they can get to make it through the day.
We've got the hands of note for you below and the updated counts for you on the right of your page. Check all that out and join us in two hours for more Main Event final table action!
Ivey Picking up Momentum
Phil Ivey just picked up a nice pot with what looked a lot like an out-of-position float.
Steven Begleiter opened from under the gun and got a call from Ivey in the big blind. The flop came down K
Q
J
and Ivey checked.
Begleiter fired and Ivey flat-called. The turn was the J
and both players checked. Ivey bet 2.5 million on the 3
turn and after some consideration Begleiter let it go. The crowd erupted in support of Ivey.
Beigleiter v. Buchman
Steven Begleiter got the action started with an opening raise to 1.25 million and Eric Buchman, next to act, pumped it up to 3.95 million. Begs made the call and the flop came 9
5
4
.
A check from Begleiter opened the door for a 3.2 million c-bet from Buchman. Begs sat with his hands folded in front of his mouth, motionless, before tossing his hand in the muck and conceding the pot.

The Times They Are 'A Changing
1 hour ago
Things are changing fast here at the 2009 Main Event final table.
Seven handed now, Darvin Moon has fallen out of the lead, Steven Begleiter has chipped up and while they are still short, no one seems willing to take on Phil Ivey or Joe Cada.
Check the action below:
Not So Full Moon
It appears Darvin Moon is about ready to implode.
After calling a Steven Begleiter reraise to 2.6 million pre flop, the two went heads up to a 4
3
2
flop. Moon checked, but when Begleiter fired another 5.35 million, he check-raised it up to 15 million total.
Begleiter promptly shoved and for some inexplicable reason, Moon did not make the call for another six million.
After the hand, Moon was suddenly out of the leader spot.
Eric Buchman is the chip boss now and thanks to the gift from Moon, Begleiter sits second in chips.
Cada Moves In
Joe Cada seems to like the three-bet shove and the three-bet shove seems to like Joe Cada.
He tried it once before, getting no callers, and after a short break in play and a 1.2 million chip raise from Eric Buchman, Cada three-bet shoved again.
Once again Buchman folded and Cada appears to be picking up some steam.
It's Ivey Time
After a seemingly tight Jeff Shulman opened from the button, Phil Ivey shoved the last of his stack in from the big blind.
Asked to put in another six million plus, Shulman thought for a few minutes as silence fell over the Penn & Teller Theatre crowd.
Shulman continued to tank for what seemed like an eternity, staring down at his chip stack and Ivey before eventually laying it down.
The next two hands were picked up by Ivey with pre flop raises and he appears to be climbing back in it.
