We arrived on sixth street to see Barry Shulman bet after both Ian Johns and Robert Sherer checked. The dealer then gave the three their third down cards and it was again checked to Shulman. He made a bet and only Sherer called.
Shulman turned over for a 6-5 low and Sherer turned over for two pair, aces and kings. The two split the pot and Shulman has moved his stack to 41,000, an increase of nearly 25,000 since the start of the day.
Picking up with the action on fifth street, we saw Adam Friedman check over to Daham Wang. Wang fired out a bet and Friedman tossed out a call. The same action occurred on sixth with Friedman check-calling one bet. On seventh, Friedman peered at his down card and tapped the table once more. Wang shot out one last bet and Friedman called.
Wang tabled for kings up, prompting Friedman to toss his hand into the muck. Wang picked up the pot and now has about 24,000 in chips.
Ron Lane opened with a middle position raise and James Van Alstyne called. The player in the cutoff called and Dylan Linde tagged along from the big blind. The four players took a flop of and Linde checked. Lane continued out with a bet and Van Alstyne called. The fourth player got rid of his cards and Linde folded as well.
This left Lane and Van Alstyne heads-up to the turn. The dealer produced the and Lane fired out another bet. Van Alstyne called to see the complete the board. Both players checked, prompting Lane to table for two pair of aces and queens. Van Alstyne mucked his cards and Lane was pushed the pot.
John Cernuto brought it in for a raise and was called by Neil Wilkinson out of the big blind. The latter would check-call bets on the flop, turn, and river when the board ran out and would take the low end of the pot with his with Cernuto taking the high end with . Cernuto, a three-time WSOP bracelet winner with 56 career cashes, has nearly doubled his stack thus far today and is poised to add another WSOP cash to his resume.
Coming in very short-stacked, it didn't take long for Phil Ivey to get the last of his chips in. We didn't see the elimination hand but his seat is now occupied by a different player indicating an Ivey bust.
We get to Dan Heimiller's table and he has called a bet on the turn with the board showing . The newly crowned Seniors NLHE Champion had 2,500 in chips behind after making the call. The river was the and his opponent made a bet. Heimiller said "raise" putting the last of his chips in and his opponent called.
"I got so damn lucky," said Heimiller as he turned over for a rivered set of sixes. His opponent mucked and Heimiller muttered to himself "Wow. Can't believe it."
That pot moves Heimiller up to 23,000 in chips and gives him some breathing room to start the day.
