Randy Dorfman and Jelassi Ramzi seem to have forgotten their little spat earlier and are now on more amicable speaking terms. This hasn't stopped them playing aggressive poker against each other. Both players just got it in on the flop and the result was a split pot.

Dmitry Motorov was chip leader, but after just doubling up November Nine finalist Eoghan O'Dea he's now back in the pack. Our colleagues witnessed the hand and told us everything that just went down.
David Williams limped after which O'Dea raised to 3,600. Motorov decided to make a pot sized re-raise to 13,500 which got everyone but O'Dea to fold. The flop brought out
