Hand #10: Small blind Benjamin Underwood open shipped his stack preflop (setting Daniele D'Angelo in); no call.

Hand #11: Underwood opened his button, too, this time for 1,300,000, but folded to a shove from Ori Hasson, who helpfully, quietly, self-counted down before doing so (13,000,000)

Hand #12: Underwood took a pot down with the same raise from the cutoff.

Hand #13: Hasson opened on the button to 1,200,000 but folded to another jam from Joao Valli, who's picked up several million chips so far on the final table with this maneuver.

Hand #14: Amir Lehavot received a walk.

Hand #15: Hasson opened for 1,200,000 in the hijack, called by big blind Nick Blackburn. On the flop, Blackburn checked - as he was to do on all subsequent streets - and Hasson bet 1,450,000. Hasson called, as he did on the turn when Hasson bet 2,250,000. The pairing on the river slowed Hasson's roll, and he checked behind, mucking when Blackburn showed with what can only be described as his characteristic victory squawk, adding, "Hillbilly wins another one. It's crazy!"

Level 37 : 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Play has tightened up now that the feature table is within sight (the plan is to relocate to the Main Stage after the Pot-Limit Omaha Championship wraps).

Hand #1: Joao Valli moved all in for 6,600,000, uncalled.

Hand #2: Santiago Soriano opened his button to 1,300,000 and picked up the blinds and ante (now worth 1,500,000).

Hand #3: It folded to small blind Daniele D'Angelo who moved in for around 10,000,000; no call from big blind Ori Hasson.

Hand #4: Another fold to the blinds, and Hasson limped, but folded to Valli's raise to 1,700,000.

Hand #5: Valli took another stab preflop with a shove (also from the small blind, no one in position seemingly keen to get involved early doors), but was again uncalled.
