Talal Shakerchi raised to 32,000 from the cutoff and Kristen Foxen three-bet to 80,000 from the button. The blinds folded and Shakerchi called.
The flop came 6♥3♥4♦ and Shakerchi check-called the 50,000 continuation-bet of Foxen.
They both checked through the 4♥ on the turn to the J♥ on the river. Shakerchi fired a bet of 60,000 out for Foxen to consider it for a bit before folding her hand.

Micah Raskin had raised to 32,000 from the cutoff and Carlos Chadha pushed his whole stack worth 38,000 forward on the button. Zhuang Raun folded his small blind but Daniel Rezaei made the call from the big blind. Raskin took off his headphones and then asked how much it was for. The table confirmed the amount and Raskin decided to come along.
The flop came down with the 8♠5♣10♥. Both Rezaei and Raskin checked to see the J♦. Rezaei checked again but folded when Raskin bet 50,000 for the cards to go on their backs.
Carlos Chadha: 4♠4♥
Micah Raskin: K♥J♥
Chadha got up from his chair as his pocket fours were behind against the pair of jacks Raskin had turned.
The river completed the board with the 10♦ for Raskin to seal the deal to eliminate Chadha.
A few minutes earlier, Aleksejs Ponakovs was eliminated and so was Biao Ding.

When it comes to the World Series of Poker (WSOP), six-time bracelet winner Daniel Negreanu is typically found in bigger buy-in events. He’s among poker’s elite often competing for $25K Fantasy and Player of the Year points, and buy-ins in excess of $10,000 give him the best chance at both, not to mention his first bracelet since 2013.
For instance, he finished 22nd in Event #2: $25,000 High Roller Six-Handed NLH for $50,000, though he failed to bag Day 1 of Event #23: $50,000 High Roller (8-Handed) after firing two bullets.
However, on Wednesday after busting early on Day 2 of Event #16: $25,000 High Roller, “Kid Poker” opted to become a man of the people by hopping into Day 1a of Event #18: $300 Gladiators of Poker, which boasted a $3 million guarantee.
Jeremy Ausmus opened from the button to 36,000 and received calls from Espen Jorstad in the small blind and Sung Joo Hyun in the big blind.
Action was checked by all three players on the flop and turn, leading to a final board of 7♥K♥2♠K♠7♣.
All three players checked the river and Jorstad showed A♣9♠ for ace-high to win the pot.

Jans Arends opened to 32,000 from middle position and Micahel Moncek defended from the big blind.
Moncek check-called a 21,000 bet from Arends on the J♠K♠7♥ flop.
The players checked the 10♣ turn leading to the A♣ on the river. Michael Moncek moved all in to put Arends at risk.
Arends quickly called and tabled Q♦J♥ for the nut straight. Moncek flashed a Jack before throwing his cards into the muck.
