: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Dawid Smolka just hit the seven-figure mark after taking down a pot against Dmitry Vitkind.
Smolka opened the button to 6,500 and Vitkind called from the small blind to see a flop of 2♠5♦8♣. Vitkind check-called a bet of 13,000 from Smolka to see the 9♥ hit the turn, then folded when Smolka fired 55,000.
Xiaosheng Zheng, who won the Warm Up just a few days ago, is seated at the same table with a stack of around 600,000.
Elsewhere, Jordan Westmorland is still going along nicely and has around 800,000 to work with.
In the latest hand he played, Westmorland opened from early position to 7,000 and picked up a caller in the cutoff.
On a flop of 9♠8♥6♥. Westmorland's continuation-bet did the trick as his opponent quickly folded.
