With the two person bleeding system, there's an old timers trick to get more fluid and higher fluid flow to flush out pesky bubbles.

Before the person at the caliper/cylinder opens the bleeder screw, the person at the brake pedal double/triple/quadtriple/etc the brake pedal HARD and then holds it down on the last down stroke....then tells the person at the caliper/cylinder to "open"...as the pedal goes down and just before bottoming out...yells "close". Repeat till fluid is clear, no more bubbles or just think enough.
