Barely a Flop to Be Seen

Level 37 : 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Matthew Jewett raised to 2,100,000 from the cutoff and Jordan Meltzer called out of the big blind. The flop came {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{k-Spades}, and Meltzer check-folded to a bet of 1,400,000.

Action has slowed considerably since the final table began, with nearly every pot going uncontested with a pre-flop raise or walk.
