There haven't been all-in bets or raises called at the secondary feature table until just now. Scott Clements opened for 305,000 pre-flop, then decided to go for the kill when John Dolan moved in for about 1.5 million total. Clements showed suited connectors, , undoubtedly an uncomfortable hand for Dolan's . But it was Dolan who flopped huge, .
"How about a on the turn?" asked a Dutch colleague next to me. Well, we didn't get that EXACT turn card, but the turn did come to improve Clements to a straight.

Hasan Habib limped in from middle position, and that put a significant chunk of his remaining stack into the pot. Duy Le was in the big blind, and he took the free flop, heads up with Habib.
The dealer spread out , and a minimum bet of 120,000 was enough for Habib to win the pot and chip his way back up over 1 million. We have him at about 1.210 million now.
Michael Mizrachi wasn't able to hold onto his newfound 1.0 million in chips for very long. He opened a pot to 300,00 from the hijack position, then called when button player Michiel Sijpkens re-raised to 840,00.
Mizrachi took a somewhat non-standard line by leading into Sijpkens for 700,000 on an ace-high flop, . Sijpkens called that bet. Both players then checked the turn. The dealer burned and turned the on the river. Mizrachi checked it to Sijpkens, who made a healthy bet of 1.2 million. Mizrachi tanked for more than a minute before finally surrendering his cards.
One lone spectator clapped for Sijpkens as he pulled in the pot to climb to 8.8 million in chips.
David Baker raised to 260,000 from early-middle position. Joseph Cheong called from the cutoff and Matthew Jarvis called from the big blind. The flop came down and action checked to Baker. He fired 560,000 and won the pot.
Soi Nguyen raised before the flop, and he found calls from Duy Le and Patrick Eskandar, the latter coming along from the big blind.
We went three ways to a flop of . Eskandar checked to the raiser, and Nguyen continued out with 450,000 chips. Le called, and Eskandar wasn't going anywhere. He proceeded to check-raise all in for just over 2 million, and that got him two folds and earned him the pot right there.
