Niveau 13 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Ted Forrest faced a tough decision on sixth street. Looking at Barry Levy's board, Forrest contemplated whether his rival had made a flush or not. Levy placed in a bet and Forrest had only 5,400 behind. The six-time bracelet winner eventually took his chances against four diamond cards lying in front of Levy, who called the remaining 1,400.

Ted Forrest: /
Barry Levy: /

Forrest's instinct was correct, Levy didn't have fifth diamond in his hole. Forrest was ahead but the seventh card could still pull Levy out front. But Forrest avoided his elimination as Levy received only the for a pair of nines. Forrest was already the winner with his tens, and his was just a sparring partner for his winning hand.

Allen Kessler Knocks Out Brandon Shack-Harris "In a Crazy Hand"

Niveau 12 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

"I knocked out Brandon in a crazy hand," Allen Kessler told us. The seat to his left was indeed empty and the guy disguised in a polar bear costume was gone.

"We both had aces in the hole," Kessler started revealing the details of their clash. "I check-raised him on fifth."

Shack-Harris apparently hit fives, but Kessler got there to win. "All my cards were live and I hit a king for aces and kings," Kessler wrapped the story.

Shack-Harris, who had previously finished second (2016) and third (2012) in this tournament, walked away empty-handed this time.

Cole Jackson was the aggressor against two players on fourth street when he picked up a nice , but it was Chris Bjorin who took the lead after Jackson caught bad on fifth.

Jackson: /
JJ Volpe: /
Bjorin: /

Bjorin bet fifth and sixth and got two calls each time, and he bet on the end as well. Jackson called and Volpe flipped the into the middle face up before mucking. Bjorin turned over for aces and a six-low and Jackson couldn't beat either.

Jackson, who started the day as one of the chip leaders, looks to have had a rough go of it early on.

Niveau 12 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Table 718 boasts a talented group of players. While one would expect Justin Bonomo and Mike Watson make for the storyline, it's yet another star pacing the table. Showing his flair is WSOP bracelet winner Randy Ohel, who just took down another pot to boost his stack up to 111,500.

Ohel was seen on fourth street, calling a bet from Mojgan Stringham. Both players checked on fifth before Ohel led out on sixth and seventh. Stringham called on both occasions.

Stringham: / /
Ohel: / /

"Aces up," Ohel said before turning up his for aces and fives. Stringham turned her board face down, admitting her defeat.
