Level 13

Daniel Negreanu: /
Christopher Chung: /

Picking action up on fourth street, Christopher Chung bet and was called in a heads-up pot with Daniel Negreanu.

Upon making open eights on fifth street, Negreanu took over the betting lead and was called by Chung.

Chung then called another bet on sixth with Negreanu now showing two pair on board.

On seventh, the players both checked, and Negreanu showed he had nothing more than his two pair after missing a low, but Chung mucked his hand, sending the pot to Negreanu with his eights and fives.

Brandon Shack-Harris: /
Christopher Chung: /
PJ Cha: / - folded fourth street

In a three-way limped pot, Christopher Chung bet out on fourth street with his king-high and was only called by Brandon Shack-Harris.

Chung bet again on fifth street, and Shack-Harris stuck around for further big bet streets. He then made open tens on sixth and took over the betting lead, getting a call from Chung.

Shack-Harris bet again on seventh street and was called.

He showed another four in the hole for two pair, tens and fours, which was good enough to earn the pot.

Meanwhile at an adjacent table, Jared Rubin and Todd Barlow were eliminated.

Shaun Deeb: /
Steven Loube: //

Action picked up on sixth street in a heads-up pot. Loube bet and Deeb made the call.

Seventh was dealt and Loube bet again. Deeb looked at seventh and put in the second bet, which Loube called.

"Flush and a low," said Deeb as he turned over his cards.

"How low is your low?" asked Loube.

"A bad eight, you're going to have a better low," replied Deeb.

"I don't have a low," said Loube who looked back at his hand.

"Sorry, I thought you said how low is your low," said Deeb.

"I did, I just wanted to know if my low draw was good," clarified Loube.

It would have been, but it didn't come in and Deeb scooped the whole pot.

Neymar Jr. Notches His First-Ever WSOP Cash in Event #41: $1,000 Super Turbo Bounty!

Level 14

A week ago, PokerStars Cultural Ambassador Neymar Jr. made his playing debut at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) when the Paris Saint-Germain's renowned forward entered Event #26: $10,000 Limit Hold'em Championship.

He didn’t cash that tournament, but now less than a week later the soccer legend has notched his first-ever WSOP cash by finishing in the money in Event #41: $1,000 Super Turbo Bounty No-Limit Hold’em. In fact, he’s still in action as of this writing and you can follow his progress in our live updates here.

Funny story, when the money bubble burst and tournament staff was trying to verify the size of the field, players were asked to remain in their seats and spectators to clear the area. No doubt excited by the prospect of earning his first WSOP cash, Neymar was standing on the rail chatting with a trio of friends which included PokerStars Team Pro Andre Akkari.

A security member, diligent in their duty and unaware that Neymar was in action, strolled up and said, “Sorry guys, I gotta kick you out, you can’t stay here.”
