Soulsby Makes Quads to Crack Aces
Niveau 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
In a three-way pot of just under 10,000 on a flop showing 7♣6♥7♠, a player in the big blind led out for 3,000 and Michael Monicatti bumped it up to 13,000 next to act. Stephen Soulsby was on the button and moved all in for 51,600. The big blind called for less to put themselves at risk and Monicatti went deep in the tank.
After close to a minute of deliberation, Monicatti tabled 8♣8♠ to show the fold and the other two players hands were opened.
Opponent: A♣A♠
Stephen Soulsby: A♥7♥
It was a cooler flop for the aces against the trips for Soulsby, and when the board ran out 5♦7♦, it was the quads that put salt on the wound for the big blind as they made their way to the exit.
Soulsby told PokerNews as he scooped in the pot that it's his first time in Las Vegas and his first ever WSOP event.

A Couple Hands With High-Stakes Gambler Mikki Mase
Niveau 10
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
The action was relayed to PokerNews after the fact. A player in early position limped in and it folded to Mikki Mase on the button who raised it up to 4,000, which only the limper called.
The flop fanned out A♦A♥10♦ and both players checked their options to the A♣ turn. The early position player tossed out a bet of 5,000 and Mase came along to the 8♣ river.
The early position player slowed down with a check and Mase bet out 15,000, which his opponent quickly called. Mase tabled Q♦Q♥ for a full-house and his opponent flashed the 10♥ to show he had a full-house as well.
A few hands later Mase opened the action to 3,600 from under the gun and only the small blind called.
On the flop of K♠Q♠7♥, the small blind check-called a bet of 7,000 from Mase. The 10♥ hit the turn and both players tapped the table for a check to the 10♣ river.
The small blind checked a third time and Mase slid out a bet of 15,000, which was enough to fold out his opponent and take down another pot to put his stack over 100,000.

Simpson Goes For It on River
Niveau 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
A player in early position opened the action to 4,500 and it folded to Conrad Simpson in middle position who three-bet to 13,000. The rest of the table got out of the way and the initial raiser made the call.
The flop came 8♦8♣2♣ and the player in early position check-called a bet of 7,000 from Simpson. On the 7♠ turn both players elected on a check to the K♠ river.
The early position player checked a third time and Simpson moved all in, covering his opponents just over 40,000 stack, who went deep in the tank. After close to a minute, the early position player reluctantly let his cards go and the pot was shipped to Simpson without showdown.

Niveau 11
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
An under-the-gun player opened to 4,000 and Mandy Island moved all in next to act for 16,900. The rest of the table folded and the cards were on their backs.
Mandy Island: K♥Q♣
Opponent: A♥10♠
Island was slightly behind preflop, but when the dealer fanned out K♦9♥4♥9♠4♠, it was the flopped king that turned the tables to score a full double up for Island.
