A player in middle position bet out and made it 900, Kenneth Griffin in the hijack made the call as well as the player on the button.

We caught up with the action on an flop where an early position player bet 600 and chip leader Bob Safai raised to 2,200 on the button. The original bettor made the call and then check-called a bet of 5,000 from Safai on the turn. When the hit the river, the player checked again and Safai quickly slid out a bet of 21,000. The player thought for a little bit before he called for what was most of his stack.
Safai turned over for two pair, aces and fours, but his opponent revealed for top-two to nearly double up. Safai rapidly counted out what he had left and then jokingly hid his stack when we were trying to take a look before he lifted his hands so we could peek. Although he still has the biggest stack among the notables we’ve tracked, Safai has certainly taken a hit from his peak.
We've only been back from dinner for ten minutes now and Maxim Lykov has already turned up the aggression. After taking down a pot preflop with a raise, he opened the next pot for 700 from the cutoff. The player on the button raised to 2,235 in a "not this time" manner. When action came back around to Lykov, he four-bet to 6,750 and the player on the button shook his head and mucked his cards. Lykov grabbed another pot bringing him up to 77,000.

Bob Safai at table 330 has about 175,000 chips which is good for the chip lead at this point. We'll definitely keep an eye on him here for these last two levels of the night
With the board reading and around 20,000 already in the pot, Perry Friedman checked to his opponent who moved all in for 12,225. Friedman tanked for a while before he made the call. Unfortunately, he was shown the bad news as his opponent turned over for the mortal nuts with quads. Not the best thing to head off to dinner to for Friedman.
