Three players saw a flop of 8♠4♦2♥. Roy Bar Lev bet 2,000 from early position. Maxx Coleman called on his direct left. Veerab Zakarian raised it to 8,700 in the big blind. Bar Lev called while Coleman folded.
The turn came the Q♠. Bar Lev bet 17,000 which got Zakarian to fold as Bar Lev added some more chips to his increasing stack.
The hijack raised to 800, the cutoff called and John Sul three-bet to 5,000, from the button. Only the original raiser called.
The 10♥J♣5♣ flop saw the hijack check-call a bet of 5,500 from Sul.
The 6♣ turn and the 3♠ river checked to a showdown. The hijack tabled Q♠10♠, while Sul claimed this pot with A♠A♠ for an over pair to the board.
Kahle Burns and Rostyslav Sabishchenko were heads-up on the turn with the board showing 9♦A♦3♦2♥ when Sabishchenko bet 2,200 from early position.
Burns called in the hijack as the 2♠ fell on the river. Sabishchenko then bet 10,000, enough to put Burns all in.
Burns got up and kneeled on his chair as he went deep into the tank. He eventually emerged with a call for his last 8,500 after several minutes and Sabishchenko showed Q♥10♠ for a bluff. Burns turned over A♥10♥ for two pair as he doubled up.
At the same table, Assaf Zeharia has already climbed past 200,000.
The player in early position raised to 1,000, Rachid Amamou three-bet to 3,500 in late position, and the player in the small blind cold four-bet to 11,500.
Early position got out of the way, and Amamou five-bet shoved all in, putting the small blind at risk, who had 27,500 behind. The small blind folded and Amamou showed Q♠Q♦.
After the hand, Amamou mentioned that today is his birthday. What better way to spend it than playing in the WSOP Main Event!
Action was picked up between two players on a flop of 8♣7♠5♣ with about 10,000 in the middle. Rafael Moraes had checked and Gaelle Baumann had fired a small bet in position. Moraes check-raised to 9,700 and Baumann called.
Both players then checked the 8♠ turn leading to the 8♥ river. Moraes checked and Baumann bet 7,500. Moraes took about a minute to decide before making the call.
Baumann tabled a full house with Q♦Q♥ and Moraes mucked.
Shiv Narayanan opened the action from under the gun with a raise to 800. Clayton Olvera called before Tyler Gaston three-bet to 3,800 from the hijack. Both Narayanan and Olvera called.
Gaston continued for 4,300 on a monotone 10♦7♦4♦ flop and only Narayanan made the call.
The turn J♥ rolled off and Gaston sized-up to 13,700. Narayanan moved all in for 84,000 and Gaston went into the tank. "Pocket tens no good?" said Gaston before mucking his cards.
Four players saw a flop of K♣J♣3♠ where a player in middle position bet 2,500. The cutoff then raised to 10,000 and only Ken Bidinger called in the small blind.
The turn was the A♣ and the cutoff bet 5,000 out of turn. Bidinger checked and the bet was allowed to stand as Bidinger called. Both players then checked the 4♣ river.
The cutoff showed K♠J♠ for two pair, but Bidinger had Q♦10♥ for a straight to win the pot. "If I shove do you call?" he asked his opponent.
"Not with that board," the cutoff replied.
Action was caught on the river as the board read A♥2♣Q♠10♦9♣. From the big blind a big stack player bet 3,000. Brian Altman was in the small blind and considered it for some time before he raised to 22,0000 which got a quick fold from his opponent to take the pot.
At the same table, Kevin Gerhart is up in chips while Esther Taylor has only a few chips.
Jon Pardy raised from under the gun, receiving calls from a player in early position, the button and the big blind.
The 7♦10♣A♠ flop saw the action check to Pardy, who continued for 2,000. Everyone but the button made the call.
The 5♣ turn saw the big blind check again. Pardy fired once more, this time for 7,000, earning two quick folds from his opponents.
As he raked in the pot, he tabled the A♣ for at least top pair.
