Multi-way action is the story of the day so far at the featured table, and we join another five-handed pot just about to get going. Michael Jansen had raised to 40,000 to kick it off, and he found four callers on down the line.

The flop came out {3-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {9-Hearts}, and each of the five men tapped the felt in turn. Forth street brought the {8-Spades}. Miika Puumalainen was first to act from the small blind, and he led out with a bet of 140,000. Scott Sitron and Jansen folded, while both Clayton Newman and Tom Schneider put in the call.

The river came the {5-Spades}. Puulmainen checked this time, and Clayton Newman moved all in for close to 500,000. Schneider would think for a good while before releasing his hand. Puumalainen followed with a fold as well, sending the pot over to Newman.

Clayton's been easily the most active player at the main table so far, and he's been rewarded with a huge boost to his chip count. His 244,000-chip starting stack has multiplied into just about 1,300,000 now.
