Wade Picks Off Zhao

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante
Tristan Wade's hand was just good enough to call.
Tristan Wade's hand was just good enough to call.

We found a 30,000 pot brewing between Tristan Wade and Susie Zhao. They were at the turn with the board reading {K-Hearts} {7-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}. Both players checked the turn and the river came {Q-Spades}. Wade checked and Zhao bet 23,500 after some careful consideration.

"Two sevens?" Wade wondered aloud. He tossed in a call, looking as if he expected to lose and tabled {6-Spades} {6-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {3-Clubs} for a flopped bottom set turned into a beatable full house.

Zhao sighed and mucked her cards, surrendering the pot to Wade.

Binger Can't Call

We caught up with the action in a four-way pot on a flop reading {5-Spades}{9-Hearts}{3-Clubs}.

The players in the small blind, big blind and under-the-gun checked to Michael Binger in the hijack, who bet 12,000 and change. The blinds folded, but the under-the-gun player called.

The turn brought a {8-Clubs} and Binger's opponent led out for 28,000. Binger called to see a river, which came the {2-Diamonds}. Binger's opponent immediately bet 30,000, which was enough to put Binger all in. Binger shrugged and looked a bit disgusted before mucking his hand.

Binger is down to his last 30,000.

Jivkov on the Comeback Trail

While still short-stacked, Nick Jivkov has certainly taken the old adage "a chip and a chair" to heart. At his lowest point last level, Jivkov was down to just 4,000, or two big blinds.

Jivkov is currently sitting with 40,000 and is looking to make a run at his second WSOP bracelet. Jivkov won his first bracelet earlier last week in Event #5: Pot Limit Hold'em.

Binger Flops a Boat

Action began with a middle-position player limping in. The player in the hijack position followed suit and Michael Binger completed from the small bind. The big blind checked his option and it was four-handed going to the flop.

Everyone checked both the {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{A-Hearts} flop and {2-Clubs} turn. However, when the {3-Clubs} landed on the river, Binger led out for 7,000. The middle-position player called and, after some thought, so did the player in the hijack.

Binger flipped over {A-Diamonds}{7-Spades} first - indicating he flopped a full-house, before revealing his other two cards, the {10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. Both of his opponent's mucked.

Binger is up to 55,000.

Boeken Busts

A player raised for 5,200 in early position and action folded around to Noah Boeken in the small bind, who re-popped it to 18,000. The big blind folded and his opponent called to see a flop, which came {J-Spades}{K-Spades}{K-Hearts}.

Boeken immediately went all in for his last 20,000 and was insta-called by his opponent.

"I have a king," the early-position player said. He had {K-Clubs}{6-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}.

"Then I have one out," Boeken replied, showing {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{6-Spades}.

The {2-Clubs} turn and {2-Diamonds} river were no help to Boeken and he was sent to the rail.
