Action has slowed down since the players have returned from break. The last two hands had preflop raises but then they checked all the way down and the winning hand has been a pair or two.
Sam Stein opened under the gun with a raise to 85,000 only to have Christian Harder raise the pot to 295,000.
Stein deliberated for just over a minute before folding to see Harder scoop the pot.
Ben Lamb opened to 80,000 from under the gun and Sam Stein defended his big blind.
The board of 
was checked down to see Lamb fire out 115,000 on the river to force a near insta-muck from Stein.
Adam Junglen opened the button to 80,000 and both Christian Harder and Warren Fund defended their blinds to see a 
flop fall.
Junglen's 140,000-chip continuation-bet was enough to pick up the pot once Harder and Fund folded their cards.
