Early action has been nothing more than our heads-up opponents feeling each other out, playing small pots without reaching too deep into their stacks.

In a recent limped pot, the flop {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

, Sol Bergren led out with a 60,000 bet and Amer Sulaiman called.

Bergren checked when the {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

fell on the turn, allowing Sulaiman to fire a 130,000 bet. Bergren made the call.

Both players checked when the {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

fell on the river and at the showdown, Bergren tabled {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{6-Spades}

for a straight, but was bested by Sulaiman's {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{8-Clubs}

, good for a flush.

After the hand, Bergren and Sulaiman were seperated by just 100,000 in chips.
