Ryan "Joeyisamush" Depaulo raised to 600 from the button. Matthew "DirtyVladBoy" Beyerlein defended from the button.

The flop came the {k-Clubs}{7-Spades}{9-Clubs}. It went check-check to the {4-Hearts} turn. Depaulo bet 1,215 and was called.

The river came the {j-Hearts} and both players checked again.

Depaulo showed the {a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} to take the pot to add more to his stack after winning a couple of other pots prior to this hand.

Ripple Rebuys After Cooler

Level 7 : 150/300, 30 ante

Three players saw a {4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop for 1,800 a piece and Viacheslav "Innstillness" Fentisov led out for 3,000 from under the gun.

Only Kevin "StonesFan" Ripple called from middle position and the two players watched the {3-Spades} pair the board on the turn.

Fentisov fired out 9,750 and then called the 24,648 all in raise from Ripple.

Kevin "StonesFan" Ripple: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Viacheslav "Innstillness" Fentisov: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Fentisov held the better pocket pair and the {2-Hearts} river didn't change a thing as Ripple re-entered the tournament.

Ye "yuan365" Yuan Looking to Close the Series With WSOP Gold

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante
Ye Yuan
Ye Yuan

Ye "yuan365" Yuan, also known as Tony Yuan, has a tiny amount of cashes on his Hendon Mob profile, with just $6,774 in career tournament earnings outside of one particularly big outlier. Yuan, a Ph.D Candidate of Mathematics and Probability at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, overcame the odds and made the final table of the 2020 WSOP $10,000 Main Event, after pushing through a field of 705 entrants.

“I still can’t believe it." Yuan told PokerNews about his run to the final table. "I don’t know how I made it, but someone I did. I was quite lucky to have some big hands. I won a coinflip when short-stacked with pocket nines against my opponent’s ace-jack offsuit." Yuan also was confident in the transition to the live final table, as opposed to online, saying, "I’m a live guy. I think my live play is better than my online play. I can read people.”

Yuan finally succumbed in fifth-place, losing a flip with ace-ten to the pocket fours of Joseph Hebert, but the $286,963 payday certainly helped put a big dent in his college tuition. Now, with another summer of online events waiting, Yuan will be looking to make another deep today after notching two final tables already this series.

Last summer, Nahrain "2Rivers" Tamero was the only female to win a bracelet in the WSOP.com Online Bracelet Series.

She did so by topping a 2,126-entry field in the 2020 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Online Series Event #31: $1,000 NLH Championship for her first bracelet and a $310,831.83 first-place prize.

Tamero, who had amassed over $158,000 in lifetime live tournament earnings, of which just a small $3,428 cash came from the WSOP for a 315th-place finish in the 2018 WSOP $888 Crazy Eights event.

Tamero, a mother from San Diego, often plays events with her husband. They've made the trip up to Las Vegas this weekend to fire WSOP Online events,. Only time will tell if Tamero, who was kind enough to send us this picture of herself grinding online, can successfully defend her title.
