Andre Akkari committed the last of his chips and Rocco Bucci made the call as both player's boards ran out as follows.

Akkari: {9-Spades}{4-Diamonds} / {K-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{J-Clubs} / {5-Clubs}
Bucci: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} / {3-Clubs}{4-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Diamonds} / {4-Hearts}

Unfortunately for Akkari, he wasn't able to connect to improve against Bucci to leave the tournament down to the final 16.

Lavonne Joyce Eliminated in 16th Place ($5,680)

Lavonne Joyce

Mike Sexton: {x-}{x-} / {k-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} / {x-}
Lavonne Joyce: {x-}{x-} / {8-Clubs}{3-Spades}{q-Spades}{3-Hearts} / {x-}
Michael Mizrachi: {x-}{x-} / {9-Spades}{6-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Spades} / {x-}

After losing a massive pot with aces-up against Gary Benson's full house prior to the redraw, Lavonne Joyce was left with just 1,500 chips. She got them in on third against Sexton and Mizrachi, and Sexton fired out bets on fourth, fifth and sixth street into a side pot against Mizrachi. The Grinder called all of them, then bet when Sexton checked on seventh. He called, and all three hands were opened.

Mizrachi: {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Joyce: {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
Sexton: {k-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

Mizrachi made a straight, scooping the pot and eliminating Joyce in 16th place.

Plenty of Extras Being Given Away at This Year's WSOP

Level 17 : 1,000/4,000, 1,000 ante

The buzz inside the walls of the Rio extends beyond just the tournaments on the 2013 World Series of Poker schedule. Online poker in Nevada is a very, very hot topic right now, and WSOP.com is making a lot of noise.

While the site has yet to launch, you can head to the Lambada Room of the Rio or look for one of the beautiful and friendly WSOP.com ladies walking the hallways to sign up for a free, personal WSOP.com online poker account. This is a great way to get a jump on the site's registration, and plenty of people have already taken this opportunity.

What's more is that the WSOP will be hosting daily raffles for everyone that has taken the time to register for WSOP.com at the Rio. What can you win? Plenty of fantastic prizes including 36 WSOP seats!

Players 21 years of age and older who sign up for a WSOP.com account will automatically be entered into the “36-Seat Giveaway” where a randomly-selected winner will win a seat into the next day’s first WSOP gold bracelet event. One of the events eligible in this promotion is the $111,111 One Drop High Roller No-Limit Hold’em tournament that is expected to feature a $10,000,000 prize pool and allow you to play poker with the biggest names in the game. In total, $182,333 in WSOP seats, including a seat to the WSOP Main Event, are being given away during this one-of-a-kind WSOP.com promotion.

In addition to the 36-Seat Giveaway, a “Hot Seat” promotion will allow any player who signs up for a WSOP.com online account and wears their WSOP.com patch on their chest at the table while playing an event to be randomly selected to receive 500 bonus dollars deposited directly into their WSOP.com online account once the site has received all regulatory approvals and launches.

With 62 WSOP gold bracelet events and three winners promised for the Main Event, this promotion includes $32,000 worth of value to those participating.

Friedman's Rolled Up

Adam Friedman

Helmut Koch: {x-}{x-} / {q-Spades} (FOLD)
Kenn Wittock: {x-}{x-} / {9-Hearts} (FOLD)
Michael Mizrachi: {x-}{x-} / {j-Spades}{3-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} / {x-}
Adam Friedman: {x-}{x-} / {2-Spades}{a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} / {x-}

Friedman brought it in, Koch completed, Wittock raised, Mizrachi made it three bets, and Friedman made it four. Only Mizrachi called. Friedman continued to bet on out on fourth, fifth, and sixth, and Mizrachi called all three.

"I know you have trip aces," Mizrachi said as he called on sixth.

Friedman checked dark going to seventh, and Mizrachi tanked for a bit before checking behind.

"I'm at least rolled up," Friedman announced, sweating his last card.

He tabled {5-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{2-Clubs} for trip deuces, and Mizrachi mucked his hand.

"Straight and flush draws," he told Friedman.

Rudolf Zintel Eliminated in 15th Place ($5,680)

Level 17 : 1,000/4,000, 1,000 ante
Rudolf Zintel - 15th place
Rudolf Zintel - 15th place

Rudolf Zintel had the bring in and David Chiu completed to 4,000. Zintel made the call before raising on fourth when Chiu bet out. Chiu responded with a three-bet and Zintel made the call before calling all in for 6,000 on fifth.

Zintel: {X-}{X-} / {4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}
Chiu: {X-}{X-} / {Q-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

Zintel tabled his {4-Clubs}{3-Hearts} for a wheel draw and a pair while Chiu tabled his {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for a pair and a flush draw. Zintel caught the {Q-Hearts} on sixth as Chiu improved with the {A-Clubs}.

Unfortunately for Zintel, the {K-Hearts} on the river wasn't what he was looking for as Chiu found the {8-Hearts} and collected the pot to move to 225,000 in chips.

Raising Helmut

Level 17 : 1,000/4,000, 1,000 ante

Helmut Koch: {x-}{x-} / {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{j-Hearts} / {x-}
Adam Friedman: {x-}{x-} / {5-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} / {x-}

We reached the table on sixth street, where Friedman called a bet from Koch. Koch led out once more on seventh, and after letting out a long sigh, Friedman called.

"Full house," Koch announced, showing {10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds}.

"You know what I had," Friedman said, mucking his cards high enough that the {k-Diamonds} was visible.

Friedman was knocked down to 135,000 chips, while Koch is up to 150,000.
