Conrad Finds the Card to Bust Opponent

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

There was an under the gun raise to 3,000 and a flat call from Barry Shulman who was also in early postion before the player in the cutoff three-bet 20,500 all in. Chris Conrad was sat in the small blind and he moved all in over the top, which got the other two players out of the way but his work was still cut out as he was looking for two outs when the cards went over.

Chris Conrad: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}

On the {3-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop, Conrad's outs were cut in half and he now needed the case nine alone. The turn was a {4-Clubs} but he found it on the {9-Clubs} river, much to the amusement of his table.

Assorted Counts From Miranda Room

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Gavin Busts

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Ten minutes ago, Lexy Gavin had won a pot after raising under the gun and getting three callers, from the button and the small and big blinds. She continued on a {q-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{3-Spades} board and took it down, all the while enjoying a massage.

Five minutes later and she was spotted outside the Miranda room, continuing her massage, though it is unclear how she busted the tournament. With 11 cashes to her name in this year's series alone, Gavin will have to re-enter if she is to make it 12 results at the 50th annual WSOP.

Konnikova Has a Stack

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante
Maria Konnikova (from a previous event)
Maria Konnikova (from a previous event)

Maria Konnikova opened the action and was called behind by two players before James Romero squeezed. The player on his left moved all in and when the action came back to Konnikova, she moved all in over the top. Everyone else passed and they turned their cards on their backs.

Maria Konnikova: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

Both players hit on the {q-Clubs}{9-Spades}{10-Spades} flop, but Konnikova was the huge favorite with a set of tens. The {8-Clubs} turn brought a gutshot for a chop but instead the {9-Diamonds} paired on the river, giving Konnikova a full house and one of the top chip stacks in the room.

Romero had folded {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, which was the correct fold but would have hit quads. He will have to console himself with the fact that he still has a decent stack, even though it could have been so much more.

Radzivonau Lets it Go

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante
Kiryl Radzivonau
Kiryl Radzivonau

Kiryl Radzivonau opened to 1,800 on the cutoff and Farzad Tafti defended in the big blind. On a {10-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop, Farzad check-raised all in for 17,700 over Radzivonau's 2,000 continuation bet and after taking some moments to consider it, he decided it was best to let it go.
