Schwartz Carved

Level 5 : 200/400, 0 ante

Noah Schwartz is out after getting into a raising war from the small blind with the player on the button and calling off the rest of his 8,500-chip short stack with {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}.

His opponent held {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} and Schwartz whiffed the {2-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{3-Clubs}{j-Spades} board

Paur Sends Little Out the Back Door

Level 5 : 200/400, 0 ante

We found Jonathan Little checking a board of {7-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{10-Hearts}{j-Hearts} to Taylor Paur, with a large pot having already developed between the two. Paur thought for about a minute before putting in a stack of chips large enough to put Little at risk. Little called off his stack of about 25,000, and Paur showed {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} for a backdoor Broadway straight. The dealer turned over Little's cards, per tournament rules: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs} for trips.

Brighter Day

Level 5 : 200/400, 0 ante

Things appear to be going quite well for hedge fund manager turned poker high roller Dan Shak.

He's now on more than 70,000 and has to be running better than he did at the Seniors Championship the other day.

Shak just revealed to his table that he managed to call two all in players in front of him with aces against {k-}{q-} and {a-}{q-}. Things looked good until two queens fell on the flop.

Wunstel Cools Koon

Level 5 : 200/400, 0 ante

Corrie Wunstel took his time before calling a 3,600-chip river bet from Jason Koon with another player in the pot, some 9,500 in the middle and the board reading {6-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{8-Spades}{k-Diamonds}.

The third player folded and Koon quickly turned over {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds} only to find his trip kings were no good against Wunstel's {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}.

Dang Gets Paid on River Check-Raise

Level 5 : 200/400, 0 ante

Di Dang checked the end on a board of {5-Spades}{k-Spades}{q-Spades}{k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} out of the small blind, and his opponent in the hijack fired 8,200. Dang didn't move, staring ahead for a couple of minutes until he tossed out a stack of chips to raise: 26,500. The hijack quickly called, and Dang turned over {8-Spades}{8-Clubs} for a full house on the river.

The online legend once known as "Urindanger" has a very nice early stack here.

Hold Me Closer Tiny Danzer

Level 5 : 200/400, 0 ante

2014 WSOP bracelet winner managed to survive a hand with online legend Chris Moorman after putting his tournament life on the line.

Danzer checked the {3-Spades}{q-Spades}{j-Spades}{6-Clubs}{j-Hearts} board after the river, but when Moorman threw 4,800 at the 8,000-chip pot, Danzer pushed the rest of his 12,000-chip stack in the middle. Moorman thought for a good two minutes before passing.

O'Donnell Doubles Up After Big Preflop Action

Level 5 : 200/400, 0 ante

A player under the gun raised to 1,050 and was called in one spot before another player three-bet to 4,000 from middle position. Matt O'Donnell potted it from late position for almost all of his 15,000 or so stack, and action folded to the initial caller, who reraised, forcing out the three-bettor. That player who folded last flashed queens before mucking them.

O'Donnell: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Opponent: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

"Queen," the player who folded queens said as the dealer spread the {10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop. He was a bit early, as his set came in the form of a {q-Clubs} turn, and the {j-Spades} river kept things clean for O'Donnell.

"Every time I make a fold like that, I swear I get there," the player with queens said.

Gotta be in it to win it though, as they say, and O'Donnell took the pot.

Hinkle Liked The River

Level 5 : 200/400, 0 ante

WSOP bracelet winner Blair Hinkle appeared to really like the river heads-up with one opponent on a {2-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{q-Spades}{k-Hearts} board.

When his opponent made a pot-sized bet of 12,400, he took his time before raising it up 15,000 more. His opponent folded and Hinkle now appears to have the largest stack at his table.
