Ronald Dolliver waited long enough for another player to bust and then got his short stack in to benefit from a pay jump as of 36th place. He would get exactly that final position after his 
got cracked by the 
of Jacob Stearley. The latter completed a straight on the 
river.
"What can you do?" asked Dolliver and then waved good bye to his former table mates.

First Jonathan Bodden raised and then folded 
against the three-bet shove of an opponent for what looked like 75,000. After flashing his cards, he asked the opponent whether or not he had him preflop and was shown the

Only two minutes later he called the all in of a short stack for 16,000 with 
and battled against . The 
flop was quite decisive to say the least.
We caught the action after a flop of

Valentino Konakchiev opened to 6,000 from the button and Terik Brown quickly made it 21,000 to go from the small blind. The big blind folded and Konakchiev followed suit.
Konakchiev, a Bulgarian national, has a number of impressive cashes to his name from European-based tournaments, but this is his first cash on U.S. soil and his first at a World Series of Poker. His largest cash weighs in at slightly more than $62,000 and if he wants to beat that impressive sum — and why would he not want to — he is going to have to finish fifth or better in this event.
Kim Ng limped from late position for 4,000 and the player in the small blind called before Martin Kozlov moved all in out of the big blind. Ng made the call and the other opponent folded.
Kozlov: 
Ng:
The board ran out 
and both are now evenly stacked.

The 
flop was checked through and on the turn, Jonathan Bodden and Lily Kiletto both committed 40,000 chips to the pot. After the 
river, Kiletto checked and Bodden was somewhat surprised.
"Are you setting me up here? Guess I have to go with the bluff again," Bodden said, then announced a bet of 100,000. Kiletto gave it some thought and made the call. Bodden was forced to turn over for a bluff gone horribly wrong and Kiletto won the pot with the .
