Tanupat Punjarojanakul bet 4,000 from under the gun on a flop of Q♥10♦7♥ and David Macisaac raised to 9,000 in early position. Punjarojanakul then reraised to 22,000, Macisaac moved all in for 40,000, and Punjarojanakul called.

David Macisaac: 7♣7♠ All in
Tanupat Punjarojanakul: Q♦7♦

Punjarojanakul had flopped two pair, but Macisaac had a set and was a big favorite to double up. The turn, though, brought the Q♠ to give Punjarojanakul a full house and leave Macisaac drawing dead. The river was the K♣, and Macisaac was sent to the rail.

Aubrey Williams and Michael Mann both quickly reentered.

On a flop of K♠J♠7♦, Robert Ozello ended up all-in and at risk against Stewart Marin for around 28,300 when he jammed into Marin's bet of 10,000.

Robert Ozello: K♦3♦ All in
Stewart Marin : 7♠7♥

The 2♦ turn gave Ozello a flush draw and Li Liang was quite excited when another diamond rolled off on the J♦ river.

Ozello momentarily paused and then said "oh, you hit your full house" as his king-high flush was no good on the paired board.

On a flop of A♠K♠K♦, Coleem Chestnut check-raised from 2,500 to 6,000 and then called a reraise to 16,000. Both players opted to check down the 7♣ turn and 8♠ river for Chestnut to show his A♥6♥. It was good for half of the pot, as his table neighbour had the A♦2♠.

"Is anyone supposed to fold there?" another player at the table asked.

Lopez showed his Q♦10♥ for a rivered pair of queens, which Ick had beat with the A♥9♥ for top pair.

John McDonald and Samuel Ick went to the turn on a board of 6♥8♦J♠9♥ when McDonald bet 7,000 from the hijack. Ick then raised to 18,000 in the big blind, and McDonald called.

The river was the 10♣ and Ick bet 14,500. McDonald then moved all in for 70,000, and Ick quickly folded.

At another table, Matthew Cannuli had three-bet to 7,500 on the button and was called by Anton Kalinin under the gun and Amit Agarwal in the cutoff.

The flop came K♦4♥J♦ and Cannuli bet 10,000. Only Kalinin called, and the 7♠ fell on the turn. Cannuli then moved all in, and Kalinin, with around 20,000 remaining, tanked for several minutes before folding.

Amit Agarwal bet the A♦A♣7♣ flop for 3,000 out of the small blind and Mike Dentale called from under the gun, Anton Kalinin folded.

The Q♣ turn brought another bet of 5,000 by Amit Agarwal and a call by Dentale.

Things then escalated when Amit Agarwal jammed the 6♠ river for by far more than the pot and Dentale folded, exposing his cards briefly. Amit Agarwal showed his A♠6♦ for aces full of sixes before raking in the chips.

Michael Mann raised to 2,000 in middle position and Mitch Garshofsky called in the small blind.

The flop came A♥4♥5♦ and Mann continued for 2,000. Garshofsky called, and they both checked the J♣ turn. Garshofsky then led out for 3,000 on the 5♥ river, and Mann called.

Garshofsky turned over A♦3♦ for two pair, and Mann mucked.

Dylan Smith recently busted, and his spot at the table was filled by another WSOP bracelet winner in Nick Pupillo.

Three ways to the 9♦8♥3♣ flop with around 31,000 kin the middle, the action checked to the cutoff who pushed all-in for 31,000. David Meagher called from under the gun and Matthew Zambanini then jammed over the top.

Meagher went into the tank and even murmured "you have a set?!" before he opted to fold.

Cutoff: A♠A♥ All in
Matthew Zambanini: 8♣8♠

The read of Meagher was correct and Zambanini's set of eights took it down after the 2♠ turn and 6♥ river.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

On the first hand back from break, a player in early position raised to 2,300 before Gregory Fishberg three-bet to 6,200 in middle position. His opponent then moved all in for 40,000, and Fishberg snap-called.

All-In Player: K♠Q♥ All in
Gregory Fishberg: A♠A♥

The at-risk player had walked right into Fishberg's aces, but the K♥7♥6♣ flop gave him some hope with top pair. The 9♥ turn was no help, while the 7♦ river secured the bustout for Fishberg.

"Welcome back," a tablemate told him.
