An early-position player raised before Bernard Lee reraised from the big blind. The original raiser then moved all in and Lee made the call with {A-}{K-}. He was dominating his opponent's {A-}{Q-} and all in for a little over 30,000.

The board ran out {K-}{9-}{3-}{9-}{8-} and Lee made two pair to earn the double up. He now has just about 68,000 in chips and looking to turn his WSOP around with a deep run here in Event No. 42.

Harvalis' Lady Comes Through

Harvalis: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Boyer: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}

It was looking good for a Boyer double up, when the board rolled out {j-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}, but the river had a different plan, when the {q-Spades} fell.

Harvalis is up to 112,000, while Boyer made his way to the payout desk.

Cooler Double for Sousa

With the board reading {2-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{A-Spades} and around 12,000 in the pot, Veronica Dabul led out for 6,000 and Ricardo Sousa made the call.

The river landed the {j-Spades} and Dabul checked over to Sousa who moved all in for roughly 14,000. Dabul made the call and tabled her {3-Clubs}{3-Spades} for a full house.

Amazingly however, Sousa also had a full house tabling his {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs} to collect the double up to 52,000 as Dabul slipped to 14,000 in chips.
