Maria Ho and her only opponent had all the chips in the middle and it went to showdown.

Opponent: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Maria Ho: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

Ho then scooped the pot with the set of Queens as she begins to build her stack back up from an early hit that had her just under 15,000 in chips.

The action picked up preflop and it folded around to Maurice Hawkins in the cutoff.

The flop was {3-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and the big blind once again checked to the ever-dangerous Hawkins.

Hawkins continued to fire this time he made it 2,500 and his opponent quickly mucked his hand and Hawkins scooped it in to add to his stack.

Moorman Gets Involved Early

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Chris Moorman just took his seat in Brasilia's bronze section and wasted no time getting into the action.

On a board of {8-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{k-Hearts}, Moorman fired out 13,200 and received a call from his opponent. Moorman showed {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs} for a flopped flush draw that turned into top pair on the river and his opponent mucked.

"I was hoping you didn't have the one hand you did have," Moorman's opponent said as the two-time WSOP bracelet winner collected the pot.

Zabrodskyy Spikes the River

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Vasyl Zabrodskyy and two opponents had their chips in the middle on the turn with the board showing {4-Spades}{k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{6-Hearts}. Zabrodskyy had {10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} for straight draws, one opponent had {a-}{a-}{x-}{x-}, and the other had {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs} for an open-ended straight draw.

The {5-Diamonds} came on the river, filling out Zabrodskyy's draw as he let out a yell that could be heard throughout the room. The opponent with aces left the table thinking he was eliminated but was called back after it was determined he had a few chips remaining. The player with the open-ended draw was eliminated.
