From middle position, Irishman Patrick Clarke made it 65,000 to go. Action folded to Mikhail Petrov in the small blind and he shoved all in for 568,000. The big blind folded, and Clarke tanked for a bit before doing the same.
No big pots just yet, it's been mostly raise and take it so far. No casualties, no big action.
