Level 5 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

Ben Yu: {x-}{x-} / {2-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{6-Spades} / {x-}
Opponent: {x-}{x-} / {7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{j-Spades} / {x-}

Yu check-called a bet on fourth street, then when his opponent made a pair of sevens on fifth he led out. Yu again called.

The player slowed down, check-calling bets from Yu on sixth and seventh, and Yu scooped the pot with {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for a straight and a six-five low.

Do You Remember?

Level 5 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

Phil Ivey glanced over at Bryn Kenney telling him he can't remember a single tournament where they have sat together and he had more chips than him.

"After you got me in London," retorted Kenney, retelling the tale of Ivey barreling into his kings with {a-}{8-} and finding an ace on the river to send him broke.

"I didn't think you had it," Ivey laughed.

You Bet You Win

Level 5 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

A rather quiet Phil Laak has bombed his way up to a 60,000-chip stack.

Laak: {x-}{x-} / {q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{7-Spades} / {x-}
Opponent: {x-}{x-} / {4-Hearts}{q-Spades}{3-Clubs}{k-Hearts} / {x-}

Laak fired away on every street he could, eventually forcing his foe to fold on seventh. After pushing up to a high water mark above 80,000, he's dipped a little, but managed to right the ship by collecting this pot.

Bob Saget

Level 5 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

Opponent: {x-}{x-} / {7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{k-Spades} / {x-}
Robert Mizrachi: {x-}{x-} / {5-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{3-Hearts} / {x-}

Mizrachi's opponent called bets on fifth, sixth, and seventh street. The South Florida turned over {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades} for a full house, and his opponent mucked his holdings.

"A full house?" Richard Sklar asked, incredulously.

Mizrachi offered a simple, wry smile as he raked in the pot.

Hachem Takes a Hit

Level 5 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

Joe Hachem is off to a rather rough start here in his first event at the 2014 WSOP.

Hachem: {x-}{x-} / {j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{8-Spades}{3-Spades} / {x-}
Opponent: {x-}{x-} / {4-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} / {x-}

The 2005 WSOP Main Event winner threw bets out street after street, only to find his opponent raise him on sixth. He made the call and did so again on seventh, but mucked claiming jacks and eights when his opponent showed a jack-high straight, claiming he had improved from a ten-high straight on the river.

Kenney Scoops Porter

Level 5 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

Bryn Kenney: {x-}{x-} / {7-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{j-Spades}{2-Spades} / {x-}
Rep Porter: {x-}{x-} / {3-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{8-Hearts} / {x-}

Porter check-called a bet on fifth street, then check-called two more on sixth and seventh.

"Flush," Kenney announced, tabling {q-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Spades}.

Porter looked across at his opponent's hand, then mucked his hand. Kenney chipped up to 55,000, while Porter slipped to 27,500.

Hastings Gets There

Level 5 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

Brian Hastings: {x-}{x-} / {7-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{j-Hearts}{a-Spades} / {x-}
Daniel Negreanu: {x-}{x-} / {2-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} / {x-}
Huck Seed: {x-}{x-} / {5-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{k-Spades} / {x-}

Mike Matusow raised a Huck Seed bet on fourth only to fold on fifth as Seed continued betting with Negreanu and Hastings calling him all the way down.

In the end, Seed had a low and Negreanu had the worst of it, mucking after Hastings earned half the pot with aces.

After being needled by the table most of the day, Allen Kessler shipped his short stack and said goodbye the very next hand.

Kabbaj Bricks

Level 5 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

John Bunch: {x-}{x-} / {7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{2-Clubs} / {x-}
John Kabbaj: {x-}{x-} / {5-Spades}{k-Spades}{3-Clubs}{a-Clubs} / {x-}

Kabbaj completed after George Danzer brought it in with a tre, Bunch made it two bets, and the action folded back to Kabbaj, who called. Kabbaj check-called another bet on fourth street, both players checked on fifth, and Kabbaj led out on sixth. Bunch called.

The duo both checked on seventh, and Bunch turned over {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for kings and sevens. Kabbaj flashed {q-Spades}{4-Spades} for a flush draw and a low draw, but then he revealed his seventh card, which was a big red brick; the {10-Hearts}.
