With the exception of the elimination of Michael Michnik, today's final table has been moving at a rather slow pace. We're not seeing a lot of action past the flop with many hands not even getting that far. Of course, we expect that to change as blinds continue to increase.
It was a classic battle of the blinds when Scott Montgomery bumped it up to 100,000 from the small blind with Adam Richardson calling.
Both players checked through to the river, but with the board reading 
, Montgomery bet 125,000. Richards made the call and showed 
and Montgomery mucked.
Adam Richardson is on the climb this level. In addition to the pot he recently won against Scott Montgomery, he also picked up 85,000 plus blinds and antes after re-raising Mick Carlson's bet of 85,000 preflop. Richardson had made it 230,000 to go, which induced Carlson to fold.

Peter Dufek made a raise to 85,000 from middle position but was soon facing an all-in raise of 800,000 from Timothy Beeman on the button. Dufek made the call after thinking for a moment.
Beeman: 
Dufek: 
The flop missed Beeman altogether when it came 
, but he picked up a straight draw and some more outs with the 
on the turn. But the turn came 
and Dufek won the pot, sending Beeman to the cage to pick up his cheque.
The win pushed Dufek into second place with 1,850,000 chips.
Scott Montgomery has been shoving all in a number of times today and recently did so once more for a 300,000 chip pot.
Daniel Fuhs had raised to 125,000 from early position and got a call from John Dolan on the button. Mick Carlson got out of the way and Montgomery went all in for about 700,000. Fuhs thought for a minute or two and folded before Dolan followed suit.
Adam Richardson, Daniel Fuhs, Peter Dufek and Sebastian Roy have all made under the gun raises in the last four hands. In each case the raise has successfully taken down the blinds and antes. Who said position is important?
Peter Dufek opened the pot with a 125,000-chip raise on the button, and Sebastien Roy re-popped it to 260,000 in the small blind. Dufek called the additional 135,000 chips.
The flop ran out 
and Roy fired a 180,000-chip bet. Dufek re-popped it to 500,000 and took the pot.
Roy slipped to 1,280,000 and Dufek is now up to 1,960,000 chips.
This secondary feature table seems like a soccer stadium right now, the rail birds are singing and we are just missing the vuvuzelas noise.
Let's Go Dolan/Let's Go MickMack!
