In a sequence of seven hands in a row, none of them progressed beyond the flop.

In the first hand, Michael Liang raised to 2,600,000 from the button and Duc Nguyen called in the small blind. The flop came A♣2♥J♦. Liang continued for 2,000,000 and Nguyen folded.

Following a walk for Manoj Batavia, Rajesh Mehta jammed two consecutive times, from the button and from the cutoff and both times it got through.
