Hand #5: Soi Nguyen

Jonathan Duhamel has the button in Seat 4.

Soi Nguyen, the player pegged as "the amateur" by ESPN during its broadcasts, raises to 1,175,000 from middle position. Everyone else folds, allowing Nguyen to drag his first pot of the final table.

Hand #6: John Dolan

Michael Mizrachi has the button in Seat 5.

Action folds around to Joseph Cheong in late-middle position. He raises to 1.025 million. John Dolan makes the call from the hijack seat, the next spot over. Everyone else folds.

The flop comes down {J-Clubs}{8-Spades}{3-Spades} and Cheong checks. Dolan fires 1.525 million and that's good enough to get a fold from Cheong.

Hand #8: Jonathan Duhamel

John Racener has the button in Seat 7.

Jonathan Duhamel opens to 1.3 million from middle position. Soi Nguyen is in the big blind and is the only player to call the raise. He and Duhamel take a flop that comes {7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}. Nguyen checks to Duhamel, who leads out for 1.6 million. Nguyen quickly folds.

"Jonathan will get this pot," says MOC Jack Effel.

Hand #11: John Racener

Jason Senti has the button in Seat 1.

John Racener raises to 1.3 million, the first action he's taken today besides posting his blinds and folding. Filippo Candio is next to act and calls the raise in position. Everyone else folds.

The flop is {3-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{k-Clubs}. Racener, the pre-flop raiser, has first action. He pauses for just a few seconds before tossing 1.7 million into the pot. Candio, the excitable Italian, takes about ten seconds of thought before folding his hand.
