Jacob Balsiger opened for 400,000 from the button, then Jeremy Ausmus reraised to 1.075 million from the small blind, causing Russell Thomas to step aside. Balsiger then made it 2 million to go, and after waiting a half-minute Ausmus announced he was all in for roughly 11.5 million.

Balsiger didn't respond right away, but after waiting just a short while let his hand go.
