Massive Pot in Brasilia Room

Level 8 : 250/500, 75 ante

Things started with Doug Baughman opening in early position for 1,600. He has been called by the player on the button, the small blind, and Sandra Kelly in the big blind.

The flop fell {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}, the small blind player checked, and Kelly bet 2,500. Baughman and the player on the button made the call. The turn was the {10-Clubs}, Kelly checked, and Baughman opted to fire 7,300. The button player, as well as Kelly, called after some thinking.

The {4-Clubs} brought another bet worth 6,000 from Baughman after Kelly checked once more, and his two opponents quickly folded their hands.

Baughman, who final tabled the 2007 $ 1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout, earned the massive pot without showing his cards and is now up to 45,000.

Big Pot for Frank

Level 8 : 250/500, 75 ante

The player under the gun opened to 1,300 and it was called three times, including Marcel Luske and Gregory Frank in the big blind.

A flop fell {k-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{q-Spades} and Frank fired 3,500. Only the initial raiser called. On the {5-Clubs} turn, Frank check-called his opponent's bet for 3,500 more.

Things heated up on the {8-Diamonds} river, as Frank checked once more and faced his opponent all in, putting his tournament at risk. Frank quickly called and tabled {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}. His opponent, with {j-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, had the dominated hand, and was eliminated of the tournament.

Frank, who cashed in two WSOP circuit events, now has a comfortable stack worth 39,000.

Broder Doubles through Sewell

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

Charlie Sewell limped and it was called by the button and checked by Lorri Brode in the big blind.

On the flop {8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}, Broder checked and Sewell made a huge 1,500 bet. The player on the button called and Broder check-raised all in for around 13,000. Sewell reshoved and the third player folded to create the following showdown:

Charlie Sewell: {k-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Lori Broder: {7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}

Sewell was in bad shape against Broder's straight, and the {q-Hearts} turn and {4-Clubs} river didn't bring him the flush. Sewell, who had his last WSOP cash in 2002, is now down to 28,000.

Jachtmann Building

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

Jan-Peter Jachtmann was in the small blind, and after one player had called for 400, he raised to 2,400 and was met by a call.

Both players checked on the {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop, and Jachtmann called for 3,000 on the {8-Hearts} turn. The action went check-check on the {k-Spades} river, and the players revealed their hands.

Jan-Peter Jachtmann: {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Opponent: {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}

A pair of kings for Jachtmann was good enough to win the pot and move him up to 55,000.
