From the cutoff seat, Jonathan Duhamel raised to 350. Liam O'Rourke was in the small blind and put in a reraise to 975. Play folded back to Duhamel, and he gave it up.
On the very next hand, Duhamel opened to 350 from the hijack seat. O'Rourke was on the button this time, and he reraised to 850. After the blinds folded, Duhamel also gave it up, and O'Rourke won the pot.
Ryan Riess has continued to control his table, and the following three hands are testament to that.
First, Riess raised to 350 from the button, and the player in the big blind called. The flop was checked by both players to see the land on the turn. After the first player bet 375, Riess raised to 900 and won the pot.
One hand later, Riess made it 350 to go again. This time, George Danzer called out of the big blind.
"You fold to a min-raise and now I make it more and you call?" joked Riess towards the German.
Danzer check-folded the flop to a bet of 400 and Riess grinned.
Then, for the third hand in a row, Riess opened to 350. This time, he quickly surrendered to a three-bet of 950 by the player on the button, but didn't seem bothered at all.
In the first of two hands, we noticed Shane Stark betting 625 on the flop. His opponent in the cutoff seat called, and then Stark checked the turn. After his opponent bet 850, Stark folded.
On the very next hand, Stark flat-called a raise to 300 on the button and also called a bet of 475 on the flop. His opponent was acting from the cutoff seat and checked to Stark on the turn. Stark checked behind.
On the river, however, Stark didn't check after his opponent did, but instead he bet 800. The other player folded, and Stark took the pot.
Jonathan Karamalikis was the initial preflop raiser and found two customers. Both of his opponents stuck around until the river of a board, and then the player in the big blind tossed out a 500-chip bet. Karamalikis was the only caller, but he mucked when shown the for trip aces.
With 450 in the middle on the flop, Ryan Riess checked to Mikel Habb. Habb bet 200, and Riess check-raised to 500. After a minute in the tank, Habb folded, and Riess won the pot to move to 7,000 in chips.
Back on July 14, the 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event final table was set. The players in this year's "November Nine" are set to resume play on November 10, and it is a globally diverse group of young players who will be battling it out for the $10 million top prize.
Sitting in second place with 32.775 million in chips heading into the final table, Norway's Felix Stephensen aims to not only win the greatest prize in all of poker, but he also hopes to be a great ambassador for the game.
"I really hope I can make poker a more accepted sport or profession in Norway, and I’d like to be a good ambassador for the sport," said Stephensen in an interview with PokerNews. "I’ve been doing this for a living for years, so people will see that it’s not all luck, it’s actually something you can be pretty good at and you’ll get results if you work hard."
Stephensen is originally from Osla, Norway, and is 24 years old. He's known as "FallAtyourFeet" in the online realm and is good friends with fellow Norwegian online pro Ola "no_Ola" Amundsgard. Like chip leader Jorryt van Hoof, Stephensen prefers playing pot-limit Omaha cash games online.
Jonathan Duhamel opened to 250 from early position before Liam O'Rourke reraised to 600 from the hijack seat. Play moved back over to Duhamel, and the 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event champion reraised all in for 2,300. O'Rourke quickly folded, and Duhamel won the pot.
