Secondary Table: Kawauti Doubles Through Tripodi
The slow pace at the secondary table continued during the last hands of Level 30, with players finally completing a third orbit as the first two hours of play wound to a close.
Hand #26: This hand saw Alexander Livingston raise to 250,000 from the button and win the blinds and antes.
Hand #27: Livingston open-raised again, this time to 255,000 from the cutoff seat, and again won the hand.
Hand #28: Carlos Mortensen raised to 250,000 from middle position, Marc McLaughlin called from the cutoff, then Bruno Kawauti three-bet to 750,000 from the button. The action was on Clement Tripodi in the small blind, who took his time counting out chips and then made another reraise to 1,425,000.
The others quickly folded back around to Kawauti who sat with his hand over his mouth for some time, then announced he was all in. The push was for 3,255,000, and Tripodi called right away. The pair tabled their cards, revealing a couple of big hands:

Kawauti's rail immediately began chanting in support of their man, with the 
flop not halting their enthusiasm despite giving Tripodi a pair of kings. The turn was the
