Chae An Moves On

Level 8 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

With Kenny Tran's stack depleted to under the big blind, he was forced to go all-in with whichever hand came his way, and that happened to be the {J-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. Chae An held {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, however, and the {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{7-Spades} runout sent Tran to the rail.

Scared Money

Level 7 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Kenny Tran brought some additional ammunition to his match against Chae An, perhaps hoping to gain a psychological edge over his young opponent.

Tran is currently playing with a noticeable stack of $5,000 Bellagio chips on the table, with each representing the potential payout for players defeated here in Round 1. As Tran causally riffles through enough money to buy a brand new car, An is simply trying to hold onto his WSOP-issued tournament chips.

Anthony Guetti Gets By Connor Drinan

Level 7 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

After getting all the chips into the middle before the flop, Anthony Guetti found himself in dire straits against Connor Drinan's {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}.

When the flop came {9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{3-Clubs}, Guetti swung and missed, and he was down to two outs in the deck to survive and advance.

Turn: {6-Clubs}

With that, Guetti's miracle card had arrived and his set put him on the cusp of the second round. The {Q-Clubs} on the river brought paint to the board, but Drinan missed and he was sent to the payout desk to collect his $5,000 rebate.

Kaverman Doubles Through Ivanov

Level 6 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

Over on Table #347, Byron Kaverman was all in for his tournament life holding {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades} against Dmitry Ivanov's {K-Clubs}{8-Clubs}.

The board fell {4-Spades}{9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and Kaverman's ace-high was enough to secure him a double. With all of the add-on's in play, Kaverman now has about 40,000 to Ivanov's 20,000.
