Orpen Kisacikoglu made it 1500 preflop and was called only by Georgios Vrakas. They went heads-up to a flop, as Kisacikoglu continued for 2,000. Again, he was called.
The turn of got two checks, before the river of preempted a bet of 3,500 from Georgios Vrakas, which was called. Vrajkas showed and took the pod as Kisacikoglu shook his head in dismay.
We joined the action in the latest hand at what once was 'Show One' table (players have abandoned that concept quite early on) with Steve O'Dwyer and Jonathan Jaffe deep into a hand.
With a board showing , O'Dwyer had made a bet of 8,000 into a pot of just over that amount. Jaffe weighed it up, but elected to fold, and tried to resurrect the 'show one' rule one last time. O'Dwyer, smiling from ear to ear, turned over both cards instead - .
"Bill Perkins was telling me that I'm a nit yesterday." O'Dwyer said, to a predictable reaction from the table.
At a five-handed table, Justin Bonomo raised to 1,000 under the gun and Steve O'Dwyer three-bet to 3,000 from the small blind. Bonomo called the reraise to see the flop, and O'Dwyer checked. Bonomo took the opportunity to bet 3,000 and that's all it took to get O'Dwyer to lay down his hand.

Players at the table featuring Justin Bonomo, Charlie Carrel and Jonathan Jaffe are playing 'Show One', meaning that the winner of each hand has to show one card to the table on completion of the card. It's completely informal of course, but everyone seems keen to be part of it, and we believe it was Jaffe who initiated the idea.
In the first hand after the parallel game started running with the High Roller action, Bonomo and Jaffe were involved in the action. Bonomo made it 700 to go preflop, with Jaffe alone in calling to a flop. The two men both checked to a turn of , whereupon Bonomo bet 2100. Jaffe folded, and Bonomo was requested by Jaffe ("loser picks") to turn over a card, which was the .
