Action Slows as Break Arrives
The tournament clock was ticking towards the break and while there have been no big pots to speak of that we have seen we do have a couple of small ones for you.
In the first it was Paul-Francois Tedeschi limping in from early position with Adrian Attenborough (middle position) and Daniel Dvoress (big blind) coming along for the ride to take the action three-way to a flop of 
.
Dvoress checked it over to Tedeschi, who led out for 4,500. Attenborough sat impassively for a few seconds before sliding out the call and Dvoress folded to take play heads-up to the 
turn.
This brought checks from both players and the river card was the 
. Tedeschi checked again and after 20-seconds of thinking it over Attenborough decided the right amount to bet was 27,000. That was enough to get it done and Tedeschi folded.
In the second David Peters raised up to 9,000 from the button and Michael Addamo defended from the big blind to take play heads-up to the 
flop.
Addamo checked it over to Peters, who c-bet another 9,000, which Addamo called to bring the action to the 
turn. Checks from both players brought play to the 
river, which Addamo now led for 42,000. Peters quickly mucked and that action brought us to the break.
