Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante
Sorel Mizzi
Sorel Mizzi

Sorel Mizzi raised to 1,000 in early position and got 3 callers, one on the button. The small blind re-raised to 5,200 and action went back to Mizzi who four-bet to 16,800 which folded action back around to the small blind who called.

The flop came out {q-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs} and the small blind checked to Mizzi who went all-in on the flop for more than the opponents 23,000 stack, which the opponent called.

Opponent: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Sorel Mizzi: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

The turn of {6-Clubs} did not change anything, but the river {k-Diamonds} gave Mizzi kings and sixes for the best hand and the opponent was eliminated from the tournament.

Deeb Reluctantly Calls Off, Spikes the River

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante
Shaun Deeb
Shaun Deeb

The button and small blind limped in and Shaun Deeb popped it to 1,500, leaving himself just 8,000 behind. The button called and the small blind re-raised to 15,400.

Deeb shook his head, laughed and tossed in the rest of his chips. The button got out of the way and Deeb was at risk.

Shaun Deeb: {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Small Blind: {a-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

The board looked bleak for Deeb through the turn {4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{5-Clubs} but the {k-Diamonds} fell on the river to give Deeb new life.

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante
Johnny Chan
Johnny Chan

Johnny Chan's time in the tournament was very short as he's been eliminated by Steve Foutty.

Foutty limped in early position, two other players limped behind, and Chan made it 1,600 in late position.

Foutty then re-raised to 5,400 which got folds from the other two limpers, but after some deliberation, Chan called.

The flop came {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, and Foutty led out for 4,400. Chan called.

On the {6-Clubs} turn, Foutty upped his bet sizing to 16,000, and again Chan called, leaving just 6,500 behind.

On the river {4-Hearts}, Foutty put Chan all-in for that last 6,500 and Chan decided to call.

Foutty showed {a-Spades}{k-Spades} for a flopped two pair, while Chan could only show {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}, eliminating the 10-time WSOP bracelet winner and Poker Hall of Famer.

The flop came {9-Spades}{q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}. The action was checked to the original raiser who continued for 1,600. He was called by the cutoff but when the action was on Ausmus he three-bet to 7,500. Both of his opponents called.

The turn came {3-Clubs}. Ausmus led for 17,000. The original raiser folded. The player in the cutoff thought for a few seconds before moving all in and Ausmus snap-called.

Opponent: {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}
Jeremy Ausmus: {j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

Ausmus flopped the nut straight to his opponent's set of eights. His opponent needed the board to pair.

Unfortunately for him, the river brought the {2-Clubs}. He could not improve and was sent to the rail.

On the river {k-Diamonds}, Bershadskiy checked a final time but this time, but Chan didn't bite.

"I have the nuts", said Bershadskiy as he rolled over {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for the nut flush.

As Chan aided in describing the hand, he exuberantly asked to describe the river action as "and Chan checks it right back!"
