Level 2
: 100/200, 0 ante
The flop was 
and Daniel Negreanu was tapping on the floor with both of his feet. He bet 1,000 and Kahle Burns, who had checked to Negreanu, asked him what the tapping was about. ''I'm excited!'' Negreanu replied. Burns called to see the turn.
The 
came down on the turn and Burns checked to Negreanu again who now fired a bet of 3,800. Burns now raised to 15,200 and Negreanu called.
The 
completed the board and both checked. Burns said ''top two'' and showed 
but he mucked his other two cards when Negreanu showed 
for the flush.

Liu Ousts Hachem
Level 2
: 100/200, 0 ante
Sasha Liu checked a 
board from the big blind, and 2005 WSOP Main Event champ Joe Hachem bet 18,000 from the cutoff. Liu potted it to put Hachem in for his last 33,000, and he called after a moment in the tank.
Joe Hachem: 
Sasha Liu: 
Liu's eight-high straight was ahead of Hachem's seven-high straight, but Hachem could still hit a spade to avoid elimination. The 
river was safe for Liu, and Hachem wished her luck as he exited the tournament area.

Laplante and Barbero Mix It Up
Level 2
: 100/200, 0 ante
Ryan Laplante, who owns a WSOP bracelet from 2016's Event #12: $565 Pot Limit Omaha, checked a 
flop in the big blind, and Jose "Nacho" Barbero bet 1,200 from under the gun. An opponent in the cutoff called, as did Laplante.
Action checked through the turn, and Laplante checked the 
river. Barbero bet 4,200 and the cutoff quickly folded. Laplante took a few beats before folding as well.
"Awful turn card," Laplante told Barbero after the hand.

Yockey Raises, Takes It
Level 2
: 100/200, 0 ante
A player in the hijack bet 1,300 into a pot of 2,000 facing a 
board, and the cutoff raised to 4,600.
Bryce Yockey, who won his lone WSOP bracelet in the 2017 $10,000 Pot Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship, cut out a three-bet to 14,000 and tossed it in the pot, quickly chasing off the hijack. The cutoff didn't take much longer to get out of the way as well, and Yockey took down the pot.
