Frankland Into Five Figures

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

A player from middle position made it 450 to play and British pro Mathew Frankland called from the next seat along. Both the button and big blind called, making it four-handed to the {7-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop.

The players checked to Frankland, Frankland bet 1,000 and the players folded in turn, with the big blind accidentally exposing the {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs} as he did so.

That pot took Frankland over the 10,000 chip mark.

Wheeler and Mattern Win Preflop Pots

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

Jason Wheeler and Arnaud Mattern have faced each other several times on the European Poker Tour and are now seated at the same table at the 2014 World Series of Poker.

Both have won pots recently without having to even go to a flop.

Wheeler was facing a 425 raise from middle position and opted to three-bet to 1,125 from the button. His opponent couldn't quite pull the trigger and sent his cards into the muck.

The next hand, Mattern raised to 425 from under the gun and nobody wanted to tangle with the Frenchman and he added the blinds and antes to his stack.

One table over from Mattern is his fellow countryman and former November Nine member Antoine Saout, who has 6,700 chips in front of him.

Kamutzki's Stack Shortened

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

Heinz Kamutzki, who has two final tables at this year's WSOP, has built quite an impressive stack here early on Day 1. He did give up a few recently, however.

After a flop of {8-Spades}{2-Spades}{k-Diamonds}, Kamutzki bet 725 and his opponent called. The turn was the {2-Hearts} and Kamutzki's opponent checked. Kamutzki bet 1,275 and his opponent called. The {9-Diamonds} fell on the river, Kamutzki's opponent checked and Kamutzki fired 3,550, putting his opponent nearly all in.

His opponent thought for a moment and eventually called. Kamutzki showed {4-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for the stone-cold bluff and his opponent tabled {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. "I almost folded," said Kamutzki's opponent. "You should have... that was the plan," joked Kamutzki.

Prendiville and Scott Chip Up

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

Ireland's Shaun Prendiville has come back from break on a heater and more than doubled his stack from when we last counted it.

Also adding to their stack is Kara Scott who now has 3,600. Keep an eye out for Scott as she presents the upcoming Big One For One Drop and the $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em World Championship, otherwise known as the Main Event.

Stout Stacked, Terry Shoving, Gill Gone

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

Matt Stout is up to 8,800 and seems to be enjoying himself at the table. Stout is full of confidence following his third place finish in Event #31, a result that netted him $170,247.

At the other end of the chip counts we found Todd Terry who added the blinds and antes to his stack when he open-shoved for 1,450 from under the gun and his raise went uncalled.

Finally, Carter Gill's wait for his second cash of the series continues as he has crashed out of this event during the fourth level.

Schwartz Found a Double

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

We picked up the action with a board of {8-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} and Ylon Schwartz facing a bet of 1,000 from his heads-up opponent. Schwartz moved all in and his opponent made the call.

Schwartz: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}

Opponent: {7-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

Schwartz was ahead, but had to fade a ton of outs. The board completed {5-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and Schwartz's straight gave him the double up.

Teng Chipping Up

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

The United Kingdom's Andrew Teng has started well and turned his 3,000 starting stack into 7,200.

Teng added to his stack when the cutoff raised to 525 and then folded to Teng's 1,600 three-bet from the big blind. You may recall that Teng finished fourth in the Millionaire Maker for a cool $465,972 and is definitely a force to be reckoned with in this field.
