Punsri Wins One Off Griffeth

Level 21 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

In a four-way pot on a board of {7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, Roongsak Griffeth bet 200,000 and Punnat Punsri called behind him, while the two other players in the hand folded.

Griffeth fired a bet of 300,000 on the board-pairing {7-Spades} turn and Punsri again called. Both players then checked on the {a-Diamonds} river.

"Two pair," Griffeth said.

Punsri turned over {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for a better two pair as Griffeth mucked his cards.

A New WSOP Main Event Champion Will Be Crowned

Level 21 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante
Qui Nguyen
Qui Nguyen

Qui Nguyen moved all-in for around 455,000 and Jesse Lonis eyeballed the stack from the other side of the table before making the call in the cutoff. All players behind got out of the way and the cards were flipped over.

Qui Nguyen: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Jesse Lonis: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

The rail of Nguyen was pulling closer to the table in order to see the showdown. However, they didn't have any reason to celebrate as the board ran out {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}. Nguyen failed to improve and Lonis held up with his pocket pair to send the 2016 WSOP Main Event champion to the rail.

Since no former winners are in the remaining field, it's now certain that a new World Champion will be crowned on November 17.

Mattern Spikes Lucky River Double

Level 21 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

Andy Spears was moved to his new seat and then raised. Arnaud Mattern three-bet jammed for 501,000 in the cutoff and Spears looked him up.

Arnaud Mattern: {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Andy Spears: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}

The {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} flop opened up some chop opportunities and that remained the case on the {6-Clubs} turn. Instead, Mattern spiked the {j-Spades} river for the double and put a dent into Spears' stack.

Vayssieres Shows a Bluff Against Zullo

Level 21 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

Following a raise and two calls, Mark Zullo three-bet in the big blind and was only called by Nicolas Vayssieres in the cutoff. They headed to the {a-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop on which Zullo bet what appeared to be 250,000. Vayssieres didn't ask for a count on the bet sizing but instead matched it with his green T-25,000 chips.

On the {8-Hearts} turn, Zullo checked and Vayssieres bet 224,000 for his opponent to call. The {7-Diamonds} fell on the river and Zullo checked with just under 1 million in chips behind. Vayssieres pulled the trigger and moved all-in to send his opponent into a world of pain. Zullo elected to fold and Vayssieres smashed his {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs} face-up on the table.

Matos-Erarte Eliminates Alsup

Level 21 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

Carlos Matos-Erarte opened to 50,000 in the cutoff and Richard Alsup shoved all in for a little less than 300,000 from the big blind. Matos-Erarte quickly called and had Alsup at risk.

Richard Alsup: {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}
Carlos Matos-Erarte: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

The flop came {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and despite two overcards, Matos-Erarte was still in the lead with his pocket queens. The {a-Spades} on the turn and the {7-Hearts} on the river missed Alsup and he was eliminated.

Lappin Eliminated While Beebe's Ladies Secure Double

Level 21 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

David Lappin open-jammed for 231,000 from middle position, Benjamin Steinwachs came over the top from the button and Glynn Beebe called off his 711,000 sack from the small blind.

David Lappin: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Glynn Beebe: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Benjamin Steinwachs: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

Steinwachs had both players covered but Beebe held the best made hand and the {2-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts} runout secured him the pot while Lappin took his exit from the Main Event field.

Keogh Pips Skyllas to Double

Level 21 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

On a flop of {3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, Pete Skyllas bet 125,000 and Glen Keogh jammed for his 424,000 remaining chips. Skyllas thought for a bit and called.

Glen Keogh: {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Pete Skyllas: {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}

Keogh barely had the better pocket pair and as the {10-Spades} and {4-Clubs} completed the board, he doubled and took the pot.

No Big Blind Special for Coker

Level 21 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

Action folded to Zachary Mcdiarmid who raised all in from the button and Ayodesi Coker called off from the big blind.

Ayodesi Coker: {a-Hearts}{2-Spades}
Zachary Mcdiarmid: {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

Coker was ahead until the {4-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} flop paired Mcdiarmid's eight.

The {7-Diamonds} turn wasn't any help to Coker as it gave Mcdiarmid an open-ended straight draw and the {6-Spades} river completed it ending Coker's Main Event.

Punsri Chips Up Through Braswell

Level 21 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

Heads-up to the {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{3-Spades}{a-Clubs} turn, Punnat Punsri checked his option out of the big blind and then called a bet worth 250,000 by Bryan Braswell. The {k-Spades} fell on the river and Braswell quickly checked behind. Punsri tabled the {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} for treys full of kings and that won the pot to award the chips to the Thai.
