Not Much Flop Action

Level 39 : Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante

In a sequence of seven hands in a row, none of them progressed beyond the flop.

In the first hand, Michael Liang raised to 2,600,000 from the button and Duc Nguyen called in the small blind. The flop came A?2?J?. Liang continued for 2,000,000 and Nguyen folded.

Following a walk for Manoj Batavia, Rajesh Mehta jammed two consecutive times, from the button and from the cutoff and both times it got through.

Mehta also raised out of the big blind over a small blind limp from Nguyen who folded as he increased his stack through collecting the blinds.
