Just two tables remain in the upper area of the Empire, and no one wants to be the first to leave either one, apparently. Not one showdown, not one river so far. The only shortish stack in preflop shove mode seems to be Brit Tony Mackay who's tried it twice - no callers.

A few chips have changed hands between Remy Biechel, who raised to 2,800 preflop on the button and was called by big blind Matt Novak, who then bet him off a {3-Spades}

flop by moving in a stack of 6,000. Also Thomas Merved check-raised Andy Bloch off a {6-Clubs}

flop in a blind on blind mini-battle. Bloch in turn reraised button Warren Woodall a committing-looking stack to add his preflop 3,200 back to his stack.

Those are the only cards seen up here face-up in the first 15 minutes of play. Very different from the hell-for-leather pace of the end of the Day Ones.
