Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Michael Wang opened to 1,100 under the gun. Cutoff Jeremy Flieder made the call, as did Yuriy Kudrynskyy on the button and big blind James Calderaro.
Calderado then led for 3,500 on the 3♠3♦8♠ flop, and only Wang made the call. Calderado slowed down with a check as the K♦ turn was dealt. Wang's bet of 5,000 generated a fold from his opponent.
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Action was picked up on the river, with a board reading 7♥2♣9♣8♦7♠. There was around 25,000 in the middle, and big blind Federico Castro had moved all in, covering his opponent, early position player Kharlin Sued, who had about pot behind.
Sued went deep into the tank, and mulled over his options for quite some time. Eventually, he put in the call.
"Queen-high," announced Castro, tabling Q♣10♠. Sued's K♦9♦ kept him in the tournament.

Espen Jorstad memorably won the WSOP Main Event in 2022. But the victory, which netted him $10 million and a gold bracelet, didn't come without some difficult decisions.
The champion, in a GTO Wizard video, broke down the ICM implications of his decisions along the way at the final table four years ago.

Carlos Vizoso opened to 1,200 from early position. Evan Dunn flatted to his left, before cutoff David Stefanski made it 5,000 to go. Both of his opponents stuck in the call.
On a flop of 10♦A♥3♣ Stefanski continued for 3,000 when checked to. Vizoso folded, and Dunn called all in.
Evan Dunn: 10♥9♥ 
David Stefanski: J♠J♥
Stefanski held on the 5♣3♠ runout to send his opponent to the rail.

Action was picked up on a flop of 5♥3♦8♣. With 8,000 in the middle, Hamza Azim, Daniel Monosson, and Anthony Piacquadio all checked to Jeffrey Trudeau on the button, who bet out for 5,000.
Azim was his only caller, bringing in the J♣ turn. Azim checked again, and Trudeau bet again, this time moving all in for his remaining 18,700. Azim went deep into the tank, eventually deciding to fold.

Jeremy Becker opened to 1,000 under the gun. Kharlin Sued then three-bet to 3,000 from middle position, and Becker made the call.

Kudrynskyy led for 3,500 on the 2♦5♠J♣ flop, only to see his opponent make it 12,000. Kudrynskyy called to see the 10♠ turn, where he checked. After some time, Flieder slid forward 20,000, enough to put his opponent all in. Flieder made the fold.

Jeremy Becker opened to 800 from the cutoff, before small blind Jiandong Xu put in a three-bet to 2,700. "How many bullets?" asked Becker, before putting in the call.
Xu continued for 1,500 on the 3♣7♦5♠ flop, and Becker paid to see the Q♥ turn. He folded to a bet of 3,600 from his opponent.
Elsewhere, Darren Elias busted, and more players joined the tournament.
