The LA Mike predicted that there would be some craziness ensuing once players returned with full bellies.  I hate to admit it, but Michael from Los Angeles was accurate with his prophecies.

Shortly after play resumed, there was some all-in mania between Tuan Lam (the quietest player at the table today) and--that's right, ladies and gents--Jerry Yang.  Yang check-raised a 1.5m bet from Lam on a J104 board.  The pot was unraised preflop, but that didn't stop Lam from shipping his 10m into the middle.  It was another 6m to Yang and he went into the tank before folding.

Just kidding. Of course he called! He was ahead with A10 but the KQ of Lam had plenty of outs with 13.  A Q fell on the river and Lam doubled up to where he started today at 20m.  Yang was "down" to 57.5m.

At 9:13 PM Jack Effel announced that play had reached 100 hands.
