With 3,500 in the pot and a board reading 



, Darvin Moon checked and his opponent checked right behind. Moon showed 
for a small flush, but it was no good against the button's 
. Both players were in good spirits and seemed to be playing quite friendly.
Moon is sitting with 46,000.

Ryan D'Angelo has built up a big stack over the last level, and is putting it to use as well.
Just now came a hand in which a player in the hijack seat opened for 1,600 and it folded to D'Angelo in the small blind who reraised to 4,600. The big blind stepped aside, then D'Angelo's opponent pushed it up to 7,600. D'Angelo promptly responded by setting out a pile of orange chips -- another reraise to 70,000. His opponent had but 27,000 behind, and after thinking a bit let his hand go.
"Good hand," he said, and in response D'Angelo showed one of his hole cards -- the
.
D'Angelo won another hand just after that, and has pushed up to 275,000 as we near the end of Level 7.
We managed to catch up to the action to find Lyle Berman checking from the big blind on a 

flop. Action was then on Thomas Keller who bet out 4,500. Berman then raised and made it 22,0000 and Kellar moved all in for 57,825. A call was made and both players tabled their cards.
Keller: 

Berman: 

Keller was ahead for now with his top pair of tens as well as an open-ended straight draw to boot. Berman however could hit a king, an eight, or running flush cards to take the hand for himself. The
turn gave Keller the straight, but it also gave Berman a straight draw. A river
sealed the deal and Keller doubled up with his ten high straight.

We didn't catch the hand, but as Beth Shak walked past our table, she simply said "I'm out had Ace-King vs a set." That unfortunate stroke of luck has sent Shak to the rail, ending her WSOP.
We missed the hand, but are being told that Garry Gates opened to 1,400 and behind him, Maxim Lykov three-bet shoved all-in for his last 18,000. Action folded back around to Gates, who called.
Showdown:
Lykov: 

Gates: 

The board ran out 



, leaving Gates with a better two-pair and sending Lykov to the rail.
Gates is up to 100,000.

Matt Matros had just moved to a new table when a hand arose in which he opened with a raise to 1,600 from the small blind. His opponent in the big blind -- busy collecting his green chips in racks in preparation for the upcoming color-up -- tossed out chips to call.
The flop came a coordinated 

, and Matros bet 1,600 again. His opponent, still occupied with the chip collecting, quickly called. The turn was the
and Matros again fired, this time 3,100. Again came another quick call.
The river brought the
, putting a fourth spade on board. Matros bet 8,500 this time, and finally his opponent stopped collecting chips to think about the situation. After a half-minute, he let his hand go.
Matros, the Event No. 52 winner ($2,500 Mixed HE), is up to 108,000.

On the turn of a 


board, the big blind checked it across to Matt Savage who bet 4,200 before being called. The river was the
and both players checked, Savage turned over 
which was good enough to win the pot having seemingly got there on the end.
Savage has around 120,000.
In a recent hand with Liv Boeree we saw her and an unknown opponent battling it out on a 


board. With 7,500 already in the pot Boeree's opponent bet out 2,600. Instead of calling or folding Boeree opted to raise and moved all in for 11,400. Her opponent called and flipped over 
for a pair of aces. Boeree flipped over a meekly 
. Boeree would need a river queen in order to stay alive today, she received no such luck as a
landed on the river and she was eliminated.
