Dinner Break

I don't know if these guys can beat Yang. They're gonna need some cards to do it, that's for sure. I like how Yang's been playing since the initial maniacal run, which we will likely eventually learn was card-fueled.

The "pros" didn't like his call with KQ against Kravchenko's pocket threes; I didn't mind it.

All things being equal, Yang is probably the favorite at this point.

The dinner break came just in time for a fading Lam, who needs to get some energy. If he can get a double up, he'll have a shot. Lam has obviously been card-dead and probably was in danger of tilting. With some food in his stomach, some words of advice and inspiration from his crew, and some better cards, he might come out storming after dinner.

Rahme is playing well.

I looked at Kravchenko's profile and it's not quite as distinguished as I thought it might be. His biggest career cash before this in hold 'em is for $23k. There's no reason to think he's a genius or anything.

Predicted finishes:

4 Kravchenko
3 Yang
2 Rahme
1 Lam
