We thought for sure a five-way flop meant there'd be plenty of post-flop action. John Dolan opened pre-flop to 750,000 and was called in order by Jonathan Duhamel, John Racener, Soi Nguyen and Joseph Cheong. Action checked to Duhamel on the flop, 
. His bet of 2,850,000 took down the pot.

It didn't take long to find a big pot after the break. John Racener opened to 950,000 pre-flop and was called in position by John Dolan. They took a paired flop of 
. Racener had to act first. He continued for 1,250,000 and was called by Dolan.
Both players checked the 
turn. When the river fell 
, Racener bet another 2.6 million. Dolan fired a raise to 6.75 million total into the pot. Racener pondered his decision for about two minutes before folding his hand.
Matt Affleck was just spotted in the arena amongst the spectators. It looked for a while like he would be in this room for a more important reason tonight, but a nasty beat at the hands of Jonathan Duhamel ended those hopes and relegated him to the bleachers.
He still looks pretty bummed out. And understandably so.
Micahel Mizrachi is trying to grind his way up the counts on this extended bubble. He opened a pot to 925,000 pre-flop from the button and was called only by big blind John Racener. Both players checked an eight-high flop, 
. When the turn came 
Racener led out for 1.1 million. Mizrachi called to the river, a 
, then bet 1.5 million after Racener checked. Mizrachi took the pot down without further resistance.
If play continues at the pace it's currently at, we should get all of about 15 hands in during this 2-hour level. Joseph Cheong opened the pot from early position to 950,000. John Dolan had the next action and three-bet to 2,575,000. That second raise cleared out everyone back to Cheong. He put in a four-bet to 5,950,000.
Dolan then went into the tank for more then six minutes. He finally moved all in, then took down the pot after a snap-fold from Cheong. Both players now have about 35 million.
For the second hand in a row John Dolan kept raising until his opponent cried, "Uncle." He opened for 1.0 million. Action passed to John Racener. He three-bet to 2.8 million, but Dolan didn't slow down. He put in a four-bet to 6.6 million and earned a quick fold from Racener.
Dolan now has close to 40 million in chips.
