There were more than 100 entries in the opening levels of the $25,000 WSOP Super Main Event on Day 1b. Here is a look at the highlights from the first two levels as the players head on their first 15-minute break of the day.
Sosia Jiang raised to 8,000 on the button and was called by Krasimir Neychev in the small blind. The flop came J♠6♣5♦ and Neychev check-called a bet of 8,000 from Jiang.
The 5♣ paired the board on the turn and both players checked to the 2♠ on the river. Neychev checked for the third time and Jiang dropped in a large bet of 50,000. Neychev deliberated for a moment but decided to flick in a call. Jiang turned over A♥J♥ and Neychev was unable to beat it.
Sam Greenwood opened 7,000 in the cutoff and Ihar Soika called on the button.
When the K♠10♥5♥ flop hit the felt, Greenwood check-called a bet of 7,000 from Soika.
The 4♥ hit the turn, and Greenwood checked once again. Soika flung 19,000 across the line and that was good enough to earn the pot as Greenwood mucked his hand.
Byron Kaverman opened the hijack and Matthew Belcher called in the cutoff. In the big blind, Blaz Zerjav three-bet and both opponents called.
Three-ways to a K♣Q♥5♥ flop, Zerjav continued for 45,000 and only Kaverman called.
On the repeat 5♣ turn, Zerjav fired a second barrel for 140,000 but Kaverman stuck around.
The river was the J♦. Zerjav tanked for some time before he opted to check. Kaverman ultimately jammed for 350,000 effective as the covering stack and Zerjav took a final peek at his cards before tossing them into the muck.
In a three-way pot on a flop of K♥6♥2♠, Chance Kornuth bet in early position and Sosia Jiang called in the cutoff as Alex Foxen called in the big blind.
Foxen checked on the 9♦ turn and Kornuth bet 68,000. Jiang folded and Foxen called. Foxen checked once more on the 10♦ river and Kornuth put him to the test by moving all in for around 350,000.
The recent Triton Main Event champion went deep in the tank before calling, leading his Chip Leader Coaching partner to show K♠9♣ for two pair as Foxen was forced to reveal K♣J♦.
