Faced with an early position open, Shawn Van Asdale, who has already made a final table here at Harvey's Lake Tahoe, three-bet to 2,500 in late position. Ting Ho, who also made a final table this week, four-bet to 6,000 on his direct left, and the original raiser folded. Van Asdale responded with a five-bet to 14,500. Ho moved all in, and after a moment for thought, Van Asdale called, putting himself at risk.
Van Asdale: 
Ho: 
The kings held as the board ran out 
, doubling Van Asdale to over 50,000 chips.
Ho won an all in a few hands later, but is still down to around 10,000.

The cards are back in the air here on Day 1b of the Main Event. There are six 40-minute levels left in the day.
Level: 7b
Blinds: 200/400
Ante: 50
The remaining players in Day 1b of the Main Event are now on a 15-minute break.
Facing a raise to 900 and three callers, David Williams moved all in for 4,325 from the big blind. Two of the players called, and checked it down as the board ran out 
.
Or so it seemed.
Williams, who also thought both players checked on the river, tabled 
. The original raiser then fired out a bet, which confused everyone. The player opted not to call, being unable to beat Williams' hand, and folded.
The original raiser turned over for an ace-high flush, eliminating Williams from the tournament.
