Yesterday during the Big One for One Drop was saw many players bust out, but painful as it is there's always another tournament to play here at the World Series of Poker.
The buy in of the $10,000 Six-Handed tournament is just 1% of the one tournament these guys played yesterday, but they all seem just as focussed. Jason Mericer and Phil Ivey are doing good early on, while Bob Bright and Brandon Steven already lost some chips.
With more than 20,000 chips already in the pot preflop, 2011 WSOP bracelet winner Sean Getzwiller moved all in for 15,500 on a flop of 
. The player facing the all-in bet studied Getzwiller about a minute before making the call and finding out the bad news.
Getzwiller: 
Opponent: 
Getzwiller needed to fade two outs, and he did so successfully when the 
hit the turn followed by the 
on the river.
"The stare didn't matter," Getzwiller told the other player after the hand." It was just a cooler."
The board read 
when Elliot Smith bet 4,400. European Poker Tour Berlin winner Kevin MacPhee tanked for a bit, and called.
Smith turned over 
, for the stone-cold nuts and raked in the pot. MacPhee is almost down to half the starting stack, but the structure is nice and slow giving him plenty of time to recover.
Jude Ainsworth raised to 425 from the cutoff and the player in the small blind three-bet to 1,350. Ainsworth fired back with a four-bet to 4,125, and his opponent clicked it back with a five-bet to 7,475. He had Ainsworth's stack covered.
After asking for a count of the other player's stack, Ainsworth let his hand go. He's still working with around 22,000, so it's been a good level for the Irish poker pro.
Level: 4
Blinds: 100/200
Ante: 25
William Reynolds already has four cashes at this year's World Series of Poker, his best result coming in tenth in the $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em for $38,716. Today he's at it again, and in the second level of play he knocked someone out.
Reynolds told us he bet every street as the board ran out 
. The river bet was 3,600, and his opponent moved all in for 8,500. Reynolds called with 
and beat the set of sevens his opponent flashed.
Matt Waxman was in the big blind when we saw the player in the cutoff raise to 525. James Calderaro called from the button and the small blind folded. Waxman put in a raise three-bet to 1,700 and the initial raiser quickly folded. Calderaro almost instantly four-bet to 3,725 and the action was back on Waxman.
Waxman looked like a statue as he was thinking about what to do. After about a minute he decided to make the call, while Calderaro was smiling at him.
The flop came down 
and Waxman checked. Calderaro fired out 6,200 and Waxman went into the tank again. Another minute passed and he opted to call.
The turn was the 
and after some thinking both players checked. The river was the 
and Waxman checked a third time. Calderaro laughed, double-checked his cards and finally knocked on the table.
Waxman turned over 
, and took down the pot.
