Denis Murphy raised to 115,000 under the gun, and David Cai called in the big blind.
Flop: 
- Cai checked, and Murphy checked behind.
Turn: 
- Let's not overlook the meaning of this beautiful , the first turn card we've seen in a hand that wasn't all in preflop. Despite the weight of this moment, both players checked again.
River: 
- Cai checked, and Murphy bet 100,000. That was all it took to get a fold from Cai. So we still haven't gotten to a post-flop showdown yet.
Blake Kelso was down to 630,000 when he moved all in under the gun. JD McNamara reshipped from middle position and successfully isolated Kelso.
Showdown
Kelso: 
McNamara: 
The 
flop earned a murmur from the crowd as it brought Kelso an open-ended straight draw. The 
on the turn gave Kelso a few more outs as he'd double up with an ace as well as a king, jack, or eight. But the river was the 
instead, eliminating Kelso in sixth place.

Jeff Tebben raised to 175,000 from the button, and Kiet Tran bumped it to 425,000 in the big blind. Tebben applied max pressure, moving all in for another 1,565,000. Tran usually thinks for a minute about every decision, and the tank-fold is definitely the only kind of fold in his arsenal. But this was a new level. It took Tran more than four minutes to fold.
Tebben is up to 2.4 million while Tran moved a little closer to the pack with 2.8 million.
Denis Murphy raised from the small blind, and Jeff Tebben folded his big. Murphy showed 
with a sigh.
Finally, three hours into the day, we've gone to showdown in a hand that wasn't all in preflop. David Cai limped his small blind, and Denis Murphy checked his option. The flop came 
, and both players checked. After the on the turn paired the board, Cai checked, Tebben bet 100,000, and Tebben called. The river brought the 
, and Cai checked. Murphy checked behind and showed 
for tens and deuces. His pair was enough to win the pot, taking him to 1.7 million. Cai is the short stack now with 950,000.
Denis Murphy raised to 160,000 from the small blind, and Jeff Tebben defended his big blind. The flop fell 
, and Murphy bet out 215,000. That was enough for Tebben to fold.
Kiet Tran is really taking his time this afternoon, and his slow thought process is starting to get to some of the players. JD McNamara complained to the TD that Tran takes a full minute for every decision. The TD replied, "There's a lot of money at stake here, so it seems pretty reasonable to be able to think about it."
Guess there won't be any clock calling by the tournament staff at this final table, but we could see a call or two soon from JD.
