Action folded around to a shot stacked Maurice Hawkins in the cutoff. He moves all in for 5,500 total. Next to act is Ankush Mandavia and he calls the shove. Everyone else folds leaving the two players heads up going to a showdown.
Hawkins:
Mandavia:
The flop comes down giving Hawkins a big lead as the only player with a diamond. The turn is the though, and that takes the lead away from him as Mandavia makes a pair of aces. Hawkins begins to push forward his signaling that he can still make a flush. And while he doesn't make a flush on the river, he does make trips, and that gives him the best hand and allows him to double up through Mandavia, giving him right around 12,000 chips.
Players have been sent on their last 20-minute break of the night. When they return, they'll play two more 60-minute levels before bagging and tagging on Day 1B.
Action folded to 2003 WSOP champ Chris Moneymaker in the cutoff and he raised to 1,200. The player on the button called, as did those in the blinds, and four players went to the flop.
Two checks saw Moneymaker continue for 2,000, and that was all it took as one by one his opponents folded.
Ariel Benarroch opened for 1,200 in the hijack and Rainer Kempe three-bet to 4,000 from the button. Both blins folded and Benarroch thought for over a minute before making the call.
When the flop fell , Benarroch check-called a bet of 2,500 and then checked the turn.
Kempe moved all in for his last 8,300 and Benarroch thought for nearly two minutes before releasing.
With the board showing and close to 10,000 already in the middle of the table, the action is on Maurice Hawkins. Santiago Nadal checked over to Hawkins. Hawkins puts out a bet of 4,500 which Nadal calls.
The river is the and Nadal checks once more. Hawkins checks back quickly this time. Nadal shows for an overpair to the board. Hawkins holds on to his cards, checks them a couple times, purses his lips, then eventually mucks, allowing Nadal to take down the pot.
After dropping that pot, Hawkins drops below starting stack after being above it for most of the day.
With 6,000 already in the pot when we approach the table, Anthony Zinno is involved in a hand against one other player. Action checks to Zinno and he puts out a bet of 3,000, which his opponent calls.
The turn is the and action checks to Zinno again. This time he moves all in for his last 5,850 chips. His opponent thinks it over for about 30 seconds before eventually deciding to release his hand. Zinno is able to take down the pot and nearly double without a showdown, allowing him to move just over half of what he began the day with.
In Level 6, the UK's Phillip Corion appears to be the chip leader with 140,000. A good chunk of that came just now when he sent Ryan Olisar to the rail.
We picked up the action with around 25,000 in the pot and a board reading . Corion bet 40,000 to put Olisar to the test.
Olisar, who was sitting with roughly 34,000 in middle position, thought for a big and then dropped in some chips to make the call.
Corion rolled over the for a full house, and Olisar showed the before making a beeline toward the exit.
"Easy game," another player told Corion after Olisar had departed.
