We found this table mid-action and the action happened rather quickly, so some of the exact amounts and details are missing. However, we found a short stacked player open by moving all in for roughly 2,350. Brock Parker moved all in over the top for 8,425. The player next to Parker folded and the next player to act decided to move all in over the top of Parker for an unknown amount.
Action folded to Liv Boeree on the button who had all of the players covered and called. The hands were exposed for the table:
Original Raiser:
Brock Parker:
Late-Position Player:
Liv Boeree:
Boeree retained her lead through the flop and the turn. However, the spiked on the river, awarding the original short stack player the best hand with a set of deuces. Parker and the late position player were eliminated this hand and Boeree was able to scoop a nice side pot from their eliminations. Boeree is now sitting on around 46,500.
The heads-up match was between Aubin Cazals and Warwick Mirzikinian and eventually Cazals overcame Mirzikinian — after a long nine hours of play. Cheong then left Event 9 to discuss with Cazals and the WSOP Tournament Directors what the plan was going to be for the final match for the bracelet. At this stage, Cheong and Cazals were wondering if he would be able to postpone the match for the bracelet until Tuesday, so he could therefore still take part in Day 2 of this event.
PokerNews Reporter Rich Ryan has given an explanation of how that discussion went down, right here. What we can tell you is that Cheong will have to play the heads-up match at 9:00 AM tomorrow. While this will most likely not give him enough time to finish the heads-up battle before Day 2 of this event starts, it was the only compromise that could be decided on.
It will be very interesting to see if Cheong now goes for boom or bust in this event. We will let you know if he starts getting a bit more active.
As per how yesterday finished up, this will be the last level of the night and the play will officially end at approximately half way through this level.
"At least now you can get a good rest before tomorrow," one of the players at Joseph Cheong's table said to him as Cheong gathered his things and made his way out of the tournament area.
Just prior to the start of this level we filled everyone in about Joseph Cheong's troubles with scheduling his heads-up battle for the WSOP bracelet in the $5,000 Mix-Max event. It was going to conflict with Day 2 of this event, which he was looking set to be involved in. Well, that's not the case anymore as Cheong has just been eliminated.
In the hand in question, Cheong three-bet all in for around 21,000 after a player opened it up to 2,300. Cheong's opponent made the call and the two players turned their hands over.
Cheong:
Opponent:
The board ran out with no help for Cheong as the dealer spread along the felt. And with that it is time for Cheong to focus on the $5,000 Mix-Max event.
There is arguably no better consolation prize to busting a WSOP event, then the fact that in under 12 hours time you will be playing heads-up for a bracelet. Dozens of players wished him luck for tomorrow as Cheong headed out the door and so to do we here at PokerNews.
Jake Cody faced a bet of 2,600 from the cut off, instead of opting to simply call Cody moved in putting his opponent all in. A call was made and both players tabled their cards.

Opponent:
A flop looked like Cody was going to be adding a few thousand more chips to his medium sized stack. However with a on the turn there was new hope for Cody's opponent who could now hit a queen and double up.
Indeed the landed on the river and Cody's pot was stolen away from him and now sits below starting stack.
