Crazy Action Before the Break at Both Tables
Level 22
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Mark Herm opened to 32,000 on the button, Mike Watson three-bet to 80,000 in the small blind and Joseph Alban four-bet shoved for roughly 660,000 from the big blind. Herm went into the tank for nearly five minutes before Alban called the clock. Herm eventually reraised all in with the bigger stack and Watson snap-called all in for 377,000.
Herm: 
Alban: 
Watson: 
All the players held pairs, but the best hands held up as the board ran out 
, Watson triples up, while Alban wins a side pot against Herm.
The hand from the other table will be posted shortly. Jared Jaffee scored a dramatic double up through Brandon Cantu.
