Cody Daniels is hard to miss at a poker table with his sparkling diamond hat and goggles. His inspirational story makes him hard to ignore.
Daniels is battling a terminal illness and was bought into the Main Event by M.J. Gonzales and Lexy Gavin-Mather. He'll also get to play in a live, televised cash game later this month.
"I've been obsessed with poker since I was eight years old. This is a dream," Daniels said.

In a four-way pot, it checked to Antonin Teisseire on the button who bet 3,000 on a board K♦7♦7♠2♠. Only one player made the call.
The J♥ completed the board on the river and both players checked. Teisseire tabled 9♥9♠ for two pair with the nines and it was good enough to win the pot as his opponent sent Ax10x into the muck.

The action folded around to Tara Cain on the button who made it 1,000 to go. Michael Kapernaros shoved all in for around 7,000 in the small blind and Cain called to put him at risk.
Michael Kapernaros: 5♠5♥
Tara Cain: 7♠7♦
Cain had the better of the two pocket pairs and the flop of K♦4♦2♠ changed nothing. The 8♦ on the turn left Kapernaros with just a single out and the 7♥ on the river was not going to be it.

Michael Pepe raised under the gun to 1,400 and Conrad Simpson called from a couple spots to his left before the cutoff called.
When the A♣J♦6♥ flop hit the felt, all three players checked.
The 2♦ fell on the turn and Pepe fired a bet of 2,800. Simpson quickly got out of the way, but the cutoff tossed in a call.
The 7♠ completed the board and Pepe continued the aggression, putting 5,500 in the middle, and that was enough to force his opponent to surrender.

In a heads-up pot with around 12,000 in the middle, the board read J♠K♣3♦4♣ when Rob Hollink checked to Abdullah Alshanti who bet 8,000. Hollink thought about it for a minute and called.
A 7♣ showed up on the river and this time Hollink fired 32,000 into the pot, putting Alshanti into a decision. After a few minutes, the latter sent a chip for the call, but only to muck his hand after Hollink tabled Q♣9♣ for a flush on the river.

Kalidou Sow opened to 1,000 from middle position and a player next to act in the hijack three-bet to 3,000. The rest of the table folded and Sow came along.
Both players checked their options on every street until the river on a board showing 9♣8♦6♥6♦A♣. Sow checked a third time and his opponent tossed out a bet of 5,000. Sow made the call and the hands were shown.
The hijack tabled A♥5♥ for a rivered ace and Sow smiled as he rolled over A♠5♠ for the same hand to chop up the pot.
"I should have c-bet," said the hijack as him and Sow laughed at having the same hand.

Balakrishna Patur bet 51,000 from late position into a pot of nearly 60,000 on a board of 3♠5♣Q♣7♣7♦. The button flashed 8♣6♣ before folding.
"Every time you come by to count, he chips up," complained a table mate. "It's down, you come by, it goes up. It goes down again, here comes PokerNews, and he wins another pot."

PokerNews was waved over as action was retold by spectators of the hand.
Action was caught after the flop of A♥4♦3♥, and Brian Wilson led out. Stephanie Wang jammed all in over the top for around 50,000. She received a call from Wilson as both players revealed their hands.
Stephanie Wang: 8♣8♥
Brian Wilson: Q♣10♦
The board ran out 9♥10♥, and Wilson thought he won with his rivered pair of tens. The dealer and Wang both realized that it was her flush with the 8♥ that was the winner. A player at the table commented that 'they've never seen a hand like that in their life let alone the Main Event of the WSOP".
