With the registration of several satellite qualifiers, the field has now reached 11. The tournament clock was briefly paused and complete redraw was conducted, and players are now in their new seats with cards back in the air. One such entry is David Brookshire, who recently won his second-career WSOP Circuit Bracelet, taking down Event #7: Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better after outlasting a field of 82 entries en route to a first-place prize of $9,084.

Rodriguez Fires Three

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

Noel Rodriguez was on the button and opened to 300 upon action being folded to him. Mike Harvey defended his big blind to take action heads up to a flop of {8-Clubs}{5-Spades}{k-Clubs}. Harvey checked to Rodriguez, who made a continuation-bet of 300. Harvey called.

The turn came {j-Spades} and Harvey checked again. Rodriguez continued with another bet of 900 and Harvey threw in a call. The river fell {a-Spades} and Harvey checked once more. Rodriguez announced a bet of 2,300 as he threw in chips and Harvey thought for a few seconds before sending his cards to the muck.

Coulombe Gets Turn Fold

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

There was 2,200 in the pot on a board of {k-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and Mike Harvey had a bet of 1,600 out in front of him from middle position. Action was on Ben Coulombe, who was in the cutoff and in the tank.

After about 40 seconds, Coulombe raised to 5,500. Harvey now found himself with a decision to make, and it proved to be a tough one as he spent about two minutes thinking over everything. With several T5,000 chips in one hand and his cards in the other, he took his cards and sent them forward, giving up contention as Coulombe took down the pot.
