From the Rail...

Play has been extremely quiet at this final table. With the exception of the double-bustout hand, we've struggled to see any significant action for the best part of three hours. Most players are playing pretty snug and aren't under any real pressure from the blinds as of yet. The crowd has thinned out a little since we started at the ESPN feature table, with most eagerly anticipating a little more action.

Some notable observers include 2008 WSOP Main Event runner up Ivan Demidov, who has been closely railing girlfriend Lika Gerasimova for the best part of two days. John Caldwell and Joe Sebok have also been spotted chatting together in the audience. Both are sweating the process of Brian Lemke, who is the cousin of their late, close friend, Justin Shronk.
