From the button, Minh Ly raised to 75,000. Ben Lamb called from the small blind and Scott Seiver also called from the big blind. With three players in action, the dealer slid the 
flop across the middle of the felt with one swift motion. Lamb checked over to Seiver and he too checked to the preflop raiser. Ly also checked.
The turn was the 
and paired the board. With two ladies in the middle, Lamb fired 130,000 into the middle. Seiver mucked, but Ly made the call to see fifth street.
The river completed the board with the

The decision has been made to play at least one more full level and then make a decision at the end of that level on whether or not to continue play. Get the coffee brewing folks.

The structure sheet says "... play down to the final table." before the day ends. There have been some mumblings going around that the television production crew would like tonight to end before that final table is reached seeing as this is taking quite some time. We're unsure how the players feel about that, but we'll soon find out if it comes to that point.
Right now, we haven't heard any changes to the schedule so it looks like we'll be here until just eight players are left. We'll let you know if we hear any changes. If we happen to stop early, tomorrow could be a very, very, very long day on the felt.
