Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Bradley Jansen
Bradley Jansen

There was heads-up action between WSOP bracelet winner Bradley Jansen from the button and his opponent from middle position with a {7-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} board showing.

With over 10,000 already in the middle, Jansen raised to 6,700 after his opponent led out for 2,000 and his opponent called to see the {8-Hearts} complete the board on the river.

After action was checked to Jansen, he moved all-in for just over 15,000 and his opponent quickly mucked their hand.

Nines Hold for Harrell

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Blake Anderson raised to 800 from middle position and then called the 2,800 three-bet Marc Harrell tossed out from late position.

The flop came {3-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and Anderson check-jammed for 8,400 after Harrell continued for 4,000 and Harrell called.

Blake Anderson: {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Marc Harrell: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}

Anderson was behind holding a ton of outs but neither the {2-Hearts} turn nor the {10-Hearts} river put him in the lead, and he made his way over to the re-buy counter.
