A player raised to 2,000 from under the gun, and Jeffrey Silverstein called next to act. Greg Spinder three-bet shoved for 11,300 in middle position, and the cutoff called off for 5,800. The under-the-gun player then four-bet shoved, and Silverstein instantly called for 58,200 total.

turn gave the under-the-gun player a host of outs, as any jack or diamond would ship the entire massive pot their way. A harmless
hit the river, however, and Spinder nearly quadrupled up, while Silverstein won a monster side pot with his queens.

While our live updates this weekend are focused on the $600 Main Event, this tournament is actually the culmination of a week's worth of tournaments.
Earlier this week, Event #2: $130 Opening Night Ring Event more than doubled its $10,000 guarantee as 211 runners generated a $20,678 prize pool. The top 27 finishers got paid including Nick Visconti (10th - $434), Wade Hinds (14th - $372), Barry Chazen (16th - $310), Jason Casten (19th - $248), Maxton Goncalves (23rd - $191), and Mark Brannick (26th - $154).
The title came down to Lucas Tae and Kimani McKoy, and the two battled in a lengthy heads-up affair. Ultimately it was Tae, a WSOP Circuit ring winner, who prevailed to claim a $5,028 first-place prize. The win came a month after he finished runner-up in the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Event #7: $200 NLH Big Stack for a career-high $37,055.

Three players were involved on the turn of a ![]()
![]()
![]()
board, and the big blind checked over to a player from under the gun, who bet 5,300. Andrew Kaplan called in the cutoff, and the big blind folded.
The under-the-gun player bet 10,000 on the
river, and Kaplan twirled two 5k chips around in his hands before eventually tossing them to the felt for a call. The under-the-gun player showed ![]()
for a pair of kings, but Kaplan had that beat with ![]()
for two pair, and Kaplan earned the pot.

A player raised to 1,500 from middle position, and was called by two-time WSOP Bracelet winner Athanasios Polychronopoulos in the small blind and [Removed:286] in the big blind.
Action checked to the middle position player on an ![]()
![]()
flop, and they bet 3,000. Both Polychronopoulos and [Removed:294] called.
The
turn was checked through to the
river, and Polychronopoulos checked. [Removed:294] bet 5,000, and the middle position player folded. Polychronopoulos took his time, but ultimately folded as well.
