Michigan's Zou and Steele Tangle

Level 14 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Patrick Steele
Patrick Steele

Henry Zou checked a {j-Clubs}{q-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades} board from the big blind, and Patrick Steele bet 19,000 from the cutoff into a pot of 25,000. Zou called.

The {7-Diamonds} hit the river, and Zou checked again. Steele fired in a bet of 52,000, a healthy portion of his remaining chips. Zou released his hand, and Steele briefly flashed his hand, but the cards were unable to be discerned by anyone at the table, leaving the table attempt to guess his holdings.

Jackson Ousts Baldwin, Takes Chip Lead

Level 14 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
David Jackson
David Jackson

David Jackson opened to 6,000 in the hijack, and got calls from the button, as well as David Baldwin in the big blind.

Baldwin led out for 12,000 on the {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop, Jackson raised to 30,000, the button folded, and Baldwin shoved for 110,000 total. Jackson made the call.

David Baldwin: {8-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}
David Jackson: {7-Spades}{6-Spades}

Jackson's top pair plus open-ended was in the lead against Baldwin's double gutter, and Jackson's pair of sixes stayed in the lead through the {a-Diamonds} turn and {q-Spades} river.

Jackson is the first to hit the 400k mark on the day, and hold the Day 1a chip lead with just over one level remaining.

Stellatos Surging

Level 14 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

With around 40,000 in the pot, and {5-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{2-Spades} on the board, the small blind checked, and Gregory Stellatos bet 18,000 from the cutoff.

The small blind tanked briefly, then folded. Stellatos has rode a wave if success in the latter levels of the night, and looks poised to bag at the end of the night with the final level of Day 1a approaching.

Yofon checked the {5-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{a-Clubs} flop to Kennedy, who bet 9,500. Yofon called.

The {3-Hearts} turn and {7-Spades} river were checked down, and Yofon tabled {k-Diamonds}{5-Spades}. Kennedy mucked.

Bohlman Gambles With Recchion

Level 14 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Scott Bohlman had 40,000 in front of him from in middle position on a {7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{j-Spades} flop, and was deliberating calling a shove from Edward Recchion on the button for 109,500 total. Bohlman eventually settled on a call.

Edward Recchion: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
Scott Bohlman: {k-Spades}{9-Spades}

Recchion was ahead with his set, but still needed to fade the double gutshot of Bohlman to earn the big double. He did just that on the {9-Hearts} turn and {j-Clubs} river, and Bohlman was forced to part with a big chunk of his stack.

Lee Doubles Up

Level 14 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Facing a limp, and a raise to 6,000 from the button, Won Lee shoved for 70,000 from the big blind.

The early-position limper folded, and the button called, with Lee slightly covered.

Won Lee: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Button: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Board: {9-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{a-Spades}

The {k-Diamonds} on the flop all but clinched the win for Lee, and he's up to 145,000 after the double.

Tang's Set Snares a Dub

Level 14 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Brandon Tang checked an {a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} flop from middle position, and the cutoff bet 4,500 into a pot of 15,000. The button raised to 9,000, and Tang three-bet to 30,000, chasing out the cutoff. The button four-bet shoved, and Tang called off his last 35,500.

Brandon Tang: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

Tang's set held against the two pair of his opponent on the {7-Clubs} turn and {9-Hearts} river for a double.

David Hengen Wins Third Ring In Six-Max

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
David Hengen

While PokerNews is here offering live updates from the High Roller and Main Event, we’d be remiss if we didn’t tell you about the full schedule of side events that have been playing out over the past week at the World Series of Poker Circuit Horseshoe Hammond.

In Event #10: $600 NLH Six-Max, 190 runners created a $97,850 prize pool that was paid out to the top 29 players. Among those to cash but fall short of the official final table were Jeff Trudeau Jr. (8th- $2,773), Peter Kelly (18th - $1,187), Nikolas Stone (22nd - $1,037), Brad Sailor (26th - $936) and Mike Shin (29th - $936).

In the end, it was Nebraska native David Hengen who won his third gold ring along with a $24,364 payday.

“It feels really good. I came into this series with really high goals because I just won a RunGood event two weeks ago, so I feel really good winning this third ring,” Hengen stated after his win.

Hengen came into Day 2 third in chips with 343,000 and when the final table was set, he sat in second with 803,000 which was just shy of three-time ring winner Brett Reichard's chip lead of 847,500.

The final table saw players drop at a decent rate and Hengen contributed to many of the final table eliminations, but his biggest hand came when he scored a monster double for 900,000 through Russell Clayton.

From that point, Hengen held almost half of the chips in play and never looked back to secure his third ring. “I just want to thank both my wife and mother-in-law for their support. I love and appreciate them very much for that,” said Hengen in his closing statement.
