Been Here Before

[user65508]

As we near the end of the level, racks of green 25-denomination chips have accumulated and are stacked neatly in anticipation of a color-up. Only a seasoned World Series of Poker player would be so on point with the maturation of a tournament here at the Rio. Indicative of the class in the field, maybe?

Jacks Take Out Two Players

[user75032]

David Singer survived into Level 7, but his day has come to an end. He got all of his money in the pot with an ace door card and buried sixes. He was called down by an opponent with buried jacks. Neither player improved.

On a different table, Phil Ivey was also eliminated by a pair of jacks. He was drawing to a straight, but it never came.

On the river, Mueller checked it over to Brenes, who bet again. "I started rolled up, Humberto," said Mueller. "I'm gonna lose, but I have to call." Mueller showed {A-Diamonds}
