Brandon Hall jammed three times in the previous level without getting any action and each shove earned him 1.3 million in blinds and antes.
Now that the blinds are up, an un-called pre-flop raise is good for 1.5 million. We’re seeing more pre-flop all-ins now that the stacks are shallower, but not a lot of calls.
Joseph di Rosa Rojas jammed with AK and got no action,
Then he opened for 1.4 million and Viny Lima jammed his big stack. Joseph folded his A5 offsuit and it was a good fold, since Viny had AK.
Cards and chips continue to move around the table.
