Meanwhile, at the Secondary Feature Table...

...things have been a bit quieter of late than at the main feature table.

We watched several hands without a flop, with players taking turns raising and taking the blinds and antes. That sequence then changed to Scott Abrams in the blinds three-betting over late position raises — first from Steven Gee, then from Jesse Sylvia — and taking the pot both times. On the second instance, Abrams showed his {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} before collecting the chips.

The next hand finally brought us some community cards after Gee raised to 500,000 from the hijack seat and Jacob Balsiger called from the small blind. The flop came {5-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}. Balsiger checked, Gee bet 600,000, and Balsiger called. Both then checked the {10-Spades} river and {3-Spades} river. Balsiger showed {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}, and Gee mucked.
