On a limped flop of 
flop, both players checked leading to a turn of 
where Aadam Daya bet 300,000. Deepak Bhatti flat called. The river came the 
, triggering another bet from Daya, this time to the tune of 600,000. Again, Bhatti made the call, but was chagrined to see his foe turn over 
for turned trips.
The play has tightened up even further, as evidenced by a rather surprising hand.
Aadam Daya limped in on the button, and Deepak Bhatti checked his option. OK.
They then procceded to check down the 
flop and the turn as well. Bhatti checked again on the 
turn but this time Daya bet a trifling slightly-more-than-minimum 250,000. Bhatti flatted, and they turned their cards over.
Daya: 
for tens and sevens
Bhatti: 
for aces and tens
Even TD Nikki sounded surprised as she announced it. This could take a little while yet.
Of the two, Aadam Daya has been by far the more aggressive player - Deepak Bhatti seems to be a big fan of limping in on the button and seeing how things go after that - and Daya has managed to extend his chip lead to almost 10 million.
On the rare occasion of a Bhatti raise from the button, Daya called the 500,000 total bet and they saw a dangerous-looking 
flop. Both players checked.
Daya checked the turn as well and then called the 600,000 bet from Bhatti; they moved on to a river, on which they reverted to checking.
So, all action over, Daya flipped 
for two pair. Whatever Bhatti had, he couldn't beat it. His hand went into the muck, and the pot went to Daya.
From a viewer's perspective, the action is painfully slow, most pots ending preflop, and if they do reach a board, being checked down to the end. Of course, all it takes is big hand versus big hand for the tide to turn, so the action could pick up at any moment.
Deepak Bhatti limped in on the button and Aadam Daya checked his option to see an 
flop which both players checked. Daya checked the 
turn as well, and then called the 200,000 bet from Bhatti, so they got to see a river as well.
The river came down the 
and Daya checked once again, and this time called a 400,000 bet from Bhatti. When the cards were turned over, both players had two pair.
Bhatti: 
Daya: 
It was a chop, and play continues.
Level: 32
Blinds: 100,000/200,000
Ante: 30,000
While our final two were getting down to business, Faraz Jaka strolled by to rail.
"Two brown people at the final table, I love it!" he called over, to chuckles all round. He looked over to your blogger. "Oh no, I see her writing stuff down, that's not good."
Jaka came a moment later with Ravi Raghavan in tow.
"He doesn't believe it either!" Jaka called over cheerfully.
Aadam Daya limped the button and Deepak Bhatti checked.
The 
board was checked down, Daya taking it with versus 
.
It's first blood to Deepak Bhatti who won the opening pot with a bet of 250,000 on the turn of a 
board. The following hand, he raised Aadam Daya's open of 400,000 to 1,900,000, to take down his second consecutive pot.
