From under the gun, Chris DeMaci raised to 110,000. Action didn't go far from there before someone else got involved. Jacob Toole reraised to 265,000 from the next seat. Everyone folded including DeMaci and Toole won the pot.
Joe Tehan rasied to 110,000 from the cutoff seat. Jason Mercier called from the big blind and for the second hand in a row a flop would be seen.
The flop came down 
and Mercier checked. The dealer almost burned and turned, but Tehan quickly stopped her and said that he hadn't acted yet. Tehan then fired 135,000 and Mercier folded.
Jason Mericer raised to 100,000 under the gun and Chris DeMaci reraised to 225,000 from the hijack. Action folded back to Mercier and he made the call. The first flop of the day came 
and both players checked.

Jason Mercier raised to 100,000, his standard open for a min-raise. Fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold and we still haven't seen a flop.
