After a few hands' worth of minor button-raiser-takes-it action, John Juanda min-raised his button and this time was faced with a reraise from David Vamplew to around a million. Juanda gave him a very intense stare, but it was very brief - he folded after just a few seconds, and Vamplew got another 400,000 of Juanda's chips.
David Vamplew minraised to 400,000 and John Juanda flat-called to see a 
flop. Juanda checked to Vamplew who fired 375,000 and it looked like Juanda was going to fold - but no! - he now virtually minraised to 800,000.
Vamplew made the call and the 
, a seemingly meaningless card came on the turn. Juanda now bet 1.55 million and Vamplew made the call.
Both checked the 
board river and Juanda declared "Seven-high," showing 
and Vamplew picked up the pot with 
. The match swings back to the Scot.
We're back from dinner, and right into some serious action.
First hand back Juanda had the button and raised to a minimum 400,000. But David Vamplew promptly re-popped to 1.1 million, and Juanda quickly and quietly folded.

David Vamplew min-raised, as he does almost every turn he gets with the button, and John Juanda called to see a 
flop. Juanda checked and Vamplew bet 340,000, around half the pot. To which Juanda responded by check-raising to 1 million.
Back to Vamplew who paused for a moment, before reraising to a little over 2 million - and an insta-fold later, Vamplew took the pot.
John Juanda raised to 325,000 preflop and David Vamplew made the call.
The flop of 
was checked by both players, before Vamplew fired out 415,000 on the 
turn. Juanda quickly called but then folded just as fast on the 
river when Vamplew fired in a 1.05 million bet.
Still, this battle is simmering nicely.
John Juanda made a raise to 325,000 from the button but David Vamplew stuck in a reraise to 875,000. Juanda eyed him up for a little while before just calling.
The flop came down 
and Vamplew bet out 910,000. Again, there was some suspicious eyeing from Juanda, before he called again.
The turn came down the 
and Vamplew stared fixedly at the board for a while. He checked. Juanda bet 1.85 million, around half the pot, and Vamplew folded.
Juanda now has a fairly convincing lead over Vamplew - roughly three to two.
