Alexander Check-Raises Drinan

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

Dejuante Alexander was out of position in a pot against Connor Drinan on a board reading {7-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{2-Spades}{4-Hearts}{k-Hearts} that checked through on the turn.

Alexander checked on the river and Drinan fired a small bet of 2,000. Alexander check-raised to 8,500 and Drinan folded to leave himself with around 20,000.

Daniels Out; Back In

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante
Jake Daniels
Jake Daniels

Jake Daniels had just lost most his stack and open-shoved for 7,000 from under the gun. John Goodin flat-called in middle position and the action folded to the small blind, who re-shoved with Goodin covered. Goodin made the call.

Jake Daniels: {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
John Goodin: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Small Blind: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

The board ran out {6-Spades}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts} for the queens of Goodin to hold to win the side and main pots, while Daniels was eliminated after finding no success with his second bullet.

Third time may be the charm for Daniels as he is back in the tournament and seated at the same table as 2015 WSOP Main Event champ Joe McKeehen.

Daniels on Fumes

Jake Daniels
Jake Daniels

Michael Cannon from under the gun and was only called by Jake Daniels from middle position.

Daniels called a bet of 1,000 on the {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}{j-Clubs} flop and a bet of 4,000 on the {8-Spades} turn.

Cannon barrelled a third time, putting Daniels at risk of elimination. The latter quickly folded and was left with a short stack.

Berkey Busted By Wigg; Returns to Table

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante
Matt Berkey
Matt Berkey

Anton Wigg was seen stacking a pile of chips after busting BetMGM Poker ambassador Matt Berkey, who left the table and went straight to the payout counter.

Before another hand could be dealt, Berkey was back at the table after buying back in on a second bullet and, by the luck of the draw, he was seated to the immediate left of Wigg.

"Did you choose that seat?" someone at the table laughed.

Farrell Downs Opponent

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante
Niall Farrell
Niall Farrell

Niall Farrell opened to 1,200 from under the gun and action folded around to the big blind who raised to 3,000.

Farrell called and then called a bet of 5,000 on the {k-Hearts}{9-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop. The big blind, with around 9,000 behind, then checked on the {8-Spades} turn. Farrell put his opponent all-in and he began to writhe in his seat.

The big blind eventually flicked in the rest of his chips and tabled his {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds} but saw he was behind Farrell's {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}.

The {2-Spades} river confirmed the big blind's exit and Farrell raked in the pot.

Ludovic Geilich, who joined the event at the same time as Farrell has had a better start than his fellow Scotsman and his seen his stack soar to 85,000.

Geilich seems to be enjoying himself with table mate Matthew Wantman.

Berkey Gives It Up

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

Matt Berkey opened to 1,500 from middle position before Kevin Allebach made it 4,000 from the hijack.

Berkey called to see the {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{9-Spades} flop which both players checked back.

Berkey bet 7,000 on the {8-Spades} turn and was called.

The {k-Spades} completed the board and Berkey check-folded after Allebach bet 10,000.
