Rick Salomon has been putting on what's known as a "sleeper straddle" in some of the pots. The sleeper straddle can be pulled back if there is action in front of Salomon, but if it folds to him, it becomes a live straddle and he gets the last preflop action. According to the talk at the table, Salomon is known to put on the sleeper straddle in many Hollywood games.
The game is back.
Bill Klein hasn't had much success thus far but he just opened to $4,000 and called a reraise to $15,000 from Al DeCarolis. Klein check-called $25,000 on the 
flop, and both checked the

. Klein bet $58,000 and took down the pot.

Jean-Robert Bellande opened for $17,000 and got calls from Al DeCarolis (button) and Brandon Steven (small blind). Everyone checked the flop, and the board was 
when it got checked to DeCarolis again. He bet $40,000, getting a fold from Steven. Bellande loaded up his big chips and put out enough to make DeCarolis risk his stack if he wanted to continue, a raise of roughly $130,000.
DeCarolis snap-called with the 
, and he initially said he wanted to run it once against Bellande's 
. Bellande convinced him to run it twice, but the 
and 
were both bricks, and DeCarolis scooped a pot of just under $400,000. Bellande is now stuck a bit with a stack of $900,000.
Players are now on a break.

and taking the pot with a straight.
Morgan has nearly $700,000 now, good for about a $100,000 profit.
