Another tap of the table by Kamei prompted Peng to declare herself all in for 410,000 (245,000 effective), a move which forced a long tank by the Brazilian. Eventually, after about five minutes had elapsed, Brandon Cantu called for time to move the action along, and when 60 more seconds had come and gone, Kamei had still not made his decision.

Jared Jaffee raised to 25,000 on the button, Jeff Gross called from the small blind, and Mark Herm called from the big blind.
The flop fell and all three players checked to see the turn where Gross led out for 27,000. Herm folded and after a few moments so did Jaffee, giving Gross the pot.
Michael Coleman shoved on the the button for about 150,000 and found action from Mike Watson in the small blind. Watson led with against Coleman's and Coleman found no held from the board, ending his run in 10th place.
