Most pots have been fairly small so far. A lot of three bets to 325,000 after 110,000 opens, but no calls yet. Jason Wheeler picked up a pot where he raised pre flop and delayed c-bet against two players, but it didn't get any more exciting than that. Helppi just shoved for 1.3 million (26 big blinds) from the small blind after a button open, but McDonald didn't want to invest any more chips and folded. Small pots so far.
Action folded to Juha Helppi in the small blind and he asked how much Nick Petrangelo was playing. Petrangelo answered he had about 650,000 and Helppi pushed all in. Petrangelo looked at his cards and called instantly.

The board ran out 
and Petrangelo doubled his 630,000 stack.
