Violette Chips Up

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Cyndy Violette's opponent check-called a bet on fifth street, and then bet on sixth and seventh street. Violette called him down.

Cyndy Violette: {x-}{x-} / {3-}{10-}{8-}{k-} / {x-}
Opponent: {x-}{x-} / {2-}{9-}{7-}{4-} / {x-}

Violette's opponent had the better board, but announced a pair with {2-}{4-}{9-}, meaning Violette could take the pot down with {a-}{5-}{6-}.

Phil Hellmuth is still gunning for a deep finish, after making the final table last year and finishing as runner-up in 2014.

In this hand he called a bet on sixth street and both players checked seventh street.

Phil Hellmuth: {x-}{x-} / {a-}{3-}{3-}{8-} / {x-}
Opponent: {x-}{x-} / {4-}{8-}{9-}{2-} / {x-}

His opponent showed {a-}{5-}{q-} for an eight-five low and Hellmuth mucked his hand. He still sits on a comfortable stack of 20,000 midway through the penultimate level of the day.

Break

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Players are going on their final 15-minute break of the evening. When they return late registration will close and there will be two more levels before play halts for the evening.

Bojang Falls

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Earlier, Ismael Bojang was railing Max Kruse, but recently he jumped in himself. Things hadn't gone his way and despite doubling up one hand prior he was all in for his tournament life against two players.

One player bet on fourth and fifth street, but immediately folded to a bet on sixth street and the cards were turned over.

Ismael Bojang: {a-}{2-} / {10-}{3-}{q-}{5-} / {x-}
Opponent 1: {7-}{a-} / {a-}{9-}{3-}{6-} / {x-}
Opponent 2: {x-}{x-} / {a-}{3-}{6-}{j-} - folded on sixth

Bojang was drawing live on seventh street. His opponent drew a {k-} but Bojang could only draw a {q-} and he was eliminated.
