Fisher Hits His Freeroll

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Roger Fisher was facing a bet for the rest of his 14,300 chips on a board reading {q-Spades}{9-Spades}{4-Hearts}{7-Spades}{5-Spades}. There was around 18,000 in the pot and Fisher checked to Christopher Brewington who pushed all in.

"I don't believe you have spades," Fisher said as he plopped in a call. Brewington tabled {j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for a missed straight draw and Fisher tabled the same hand with {j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. However, Fisher did have a spade for the flush and was awarded the double up.

Treat Wins a Flip

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante
Kelly Treat
Kelly Treat

Kelly Treat was down to half her starting stack and she pushed all in for 14,700 from under the gun. Alim Butler gave her some action when he tossed in a single chip from middle position.

Kelly Treat: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Alim Butler: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

It was a coin flip for all of Treat's chips and the flop of {8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Hearts} provided no help thus far. The {6-Hearts} on the turn gave Treat a flush draw and the {5-Hearts} on the river completed her flush to score a double up.

Tran Sends Percal to the Registration Desk

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Alan Percal is one of the most accomplished players in the field today, with a WSOP gold bracelet to his name. Percal captured his bracelet in the 2016 $10,000 Heads-Up Championship for a payday of over $320,000. Percal hasn't played a lot of poker since that but does dip into some high roller events from time to time.

He's had his hands full with David Tran from the start of the day and the two clashed again in another big pot. With around 40,000 already in the middle and the board reading {9-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{7-Hearts}, Tran announced all in from the blinds. Percal was left with around 18,000 behind and took his time before finally making the call.

Tran quickly flopped over {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} for top pair and Percal wasn't able to beat as his cards hit the muck. Percal took off to the registration desk and was seen taking a new seat shortly after.

Bonta Comes Oh So Close

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

With a completed board of {q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} spread across the table, the action was on James Pupillo in middle position. He tossed in a bet of 11,500 into a pot of around 20,000. Vincent Bonta was his opponent and he chose to check-raise to 30,000 from the small blind.

Pupillo sat with his head in his hands, trying to come to a decision. Over a minute later, Pupillo splashed in the chips to call. "Good call," Bonta said as he tabled pocket jacks.

Pupillo turned over {q-Spades}{q-Hearts} for a set of queens and admitted it was a good attempt from Bonta. "That was a great bet. I just happened to be at the top of my range," Pupillo explained.

Raymer Doubles Up on the River

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante
Greg Raymer
Greg Raymer

In a four-way limped pot, the dealer fanned the flop of {10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and the action checked to Mary Statt on the button who bet 2,200 into a pot of 4,000. Both of the blinds folded and Greg Raymer called from the cutoff.

The turn brought the {k-Hearts} and Raymer check-called another bet of 6,000 from Statt. The {a-Hearts} completed the board and Raymer announced all in for 19,600. Statt asked for a count and then made the call. Raymer flipped over {5-Spades}{4-Spades} for a straight which topped Statt's {3-Spades}{3-Hearts} for a full double up.

Another Monster for Worden

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

A huge pot was brewing at the front of the room and it involved three different players. The flop of {j-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} was already spread across the felt and David Miller along with David Worden had all of their chips in the middle. Miller was the shorter stack and the players were waiting on Michael Carter to make a decision.

Carter eventually called Worden's all in and the cards were on their backs. Worden showed {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} for a set of sevens while both of his opponent's held {k-}{j-}. The {4-Clubs} on the turn locked up the pot for Worden as he scooped everything to send himself into the chip lead.
