Exit Guillen

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Angel Guillen
Angel Guillen

Angel Guillen just moved all in from the cutoff for his final 65,000 chips and Adrey Grenko, on the button, called.

Guillen showed {A-}{10-} and his opponent tabled {A-}{K-}.

"He flopped a straight," Guillen said as he was collecting his belongings after being knocked out.

"I was card dead for 15 hours," the Mexican bracelet winner added, as he was disappointed with being knocked out but perhaps a little pleased with still being able to make the money.

Newhouse Bleeding Chips

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

With around 150,000 in the pot and a board reading {3-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{9-Spades}{2-Hearts}, Mark Newhouse checked and Adi Abugazal did the same. That brought about the {5-Diamonds} on the river, and Newhouse checked. Abugazal took the opportunity to bet 80,000, and Newhouse took his time before making the call. Abugazal rolled over the {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a flush, and Newhouse sent his cards to the muck.

Buzkill

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Daniel Buzgon raised to 12,500 from early position, Mehrdad "Danny" Yousefzadeh called in the hijack, and the two took a flop of {9-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{j-Hearts}. Buzgon led out for 15,000, Yousefzadeh min-raised to 30,000, and Buzgon moved all in for an additional 180,000 or so.

Yousefzadeh waited for a rough count on Buzgon before calling.

Buzgon: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Yousefzadeh: {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

"Quickly," Yousefzadeh told the dealer. "On the turn."

"Ace of spades on the turn?" Buzgon responded.

"Ace of hearts," Marc Tschirch interjected, grinning.

Unfortunately for Buzgon, the turn was a heart - the {2-Hearts} - and Buzgon was drawing dead.

"Good luck, everyone," Buzgon said immediately.

The river was the aforementioned {a-Spades}, pouring a bit of salt in Buzgon's wound, and he forced a smile before exiting.

Yousefzadeh is up 1.33 million.

Break Time; Level 16 Ends, Smith Soars and We're In the Money!

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Dan Smith leads the field
Dan Smith leads the field

Level 16 of the 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event is in the books! Players are currently taking their second 20-minute break of the day.

The level began just ten eliminations away from the money and as always, the bubble of the largest tournament of the year was quite the dramatic procedure. Players like five-time bracelet winner Allen Cunningham and Barry Hutter were eliminated from play just shy of making the money. After the field went hand-for-hand, five tables around the Amazon room had hands that involved an all in and a call. Three of the fives hands eliminated players from the field, officially putting everyone remaining in their seats in the money and guaranteeing a payday of at least $18,406.

On the first bubble hand, John Dwyer ran a full house into November Niner Mark Newhouse's quad fives. Zhen Cai followed Dwyer out the door, unable to improve with pocket queens against Darren Keyes' pocket aces. Finally, Kori Hunter's pocket aces were cracked by Harry Kaczka's nine-eight which made two pair. All three of these players made $6,135 and Chai won a high card for a free seat in next year's Main Event.

Meanwhile, Dan Smith won a massive pot against Stephen Graner to take the chip lead just before hand-for-hand play began. Smith continued his domination and increased his lead as the level progressed.

Ronnie Bardah set a record this level by making the money in five straight WSOP Main Events. You can read more about Bardah's incredible accomplishment here.

During the break, be sure to check out this video where our very own Sarah Grant caught up with last year's bubble boy, Farzad Bonyadi. Bonyadi made it through the bubble this year and is guaranteed a cash moving forward.

It has also been announced that dinner will take place at the end of Level 17 or approximately 6:10 p.m.

Benger Busts Tran in Seven-Figure Pot

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Griffin Benger
Griffin Benger

Just as most of the field headed to the hallways for the break, the following hand went down in the corner of the orange section in the Amazon Room.

From early position, Mark Herm raised to 10,500. Next to act was Alex Tran, and he flat-called before action folded over to Griffin Benger in the cutoff seat. He called, and then Roman Valerstein reraised to 40,000 on the button. After the blinds folded, action was back on Herm and he thought for a bit before folding. Then, Tran stuck in the call, and Benger also called as the cameras began to swarm the table — and good thing they did because the following flop play resulted in a massive clash of chips.

The flop came out {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}, and Tran checked. Benger also checked, and then Valerstein fired 58,000. Tran thought for a minute or so, counted out the 58,000 for the call, thought for a little bit longer, then slid the call forward. Benger had other things in mind, though.

Benger counted out more than just a call, sliding out 152,000. Valerstein quickly ducked out of the way, but Tran went back into the tank. Eventually, Tran announced that he was all in — a total shove of 418,500 after the dealer broke it down to Benger's request. Benger stood up and made the call, having Tran covered, but putting a large portion of his stack on the line.

Tran turned over the {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}, but he was behind the {A-Spades}{9-Spades} for Benger.

With top two pair and needing to hold, Benger was forced to sweat a bit more after the {5-Hearts} landed on the turn to give Tran a flush draw.

"Not impressed with that one," he said after the dealer added fourth street.

The river completed the board with the {5-Spades}, missing Tran and giving Benger the pot. Benger had Tran covered, sending him to the rail, and moving Benger to nearly 1.3 million in chips.
