Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Over 10,000 Entrants

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

The number of entrants on Day 1b is now over 5,415 players. If we add to this number the 4,585 entrants from Day 1a, over 10,000 entries have been registered for this tournament.

According to WSOP's archives, this year's event has already set a new record for the Millionaire Maker and is also the largest $1,500 buy-in event in poker history.

This number will continue to grow as players still have until the end of Level 8 to enter or reenter.

Ace on the Turn for Baker

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Alexandra Brierton opend in early position to 1,800 and a player shoved for his last 7,800. Aaron Baker made the call in the small blind and so did Brierton.

The flop gave J57 and Baker led out for 5,000. Brierton quickly folded and the two remaining players showed their cards:

Initial Player: KK
Aron Baker: AJ

The player at risk was in good shape for a double up, but an A hit the turn and he was eliminated after the 6 completed the board.

Big Triple Up For Cechowski

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

On the first hand after the break, a player in early position opened to 1,600. In middle position, another player min-raised to 3,200. Dylan Cechowski, from the cutoff, decided to four-bet to 7,200. The button and the blinds folded.

The action went back to the player in early position, who shoved for 25,000 chips. The middle position player re-raised all in to 31,200. With his strong hand, Cechowski had no choice but to call them.

Early position player: QQ
Middle position player: JJ
Dylan Cechowski: AK

Cechowski directly hit a king on the flop 6K7, putting him ahead in this hand. But he started to sweat when a flush draw came with the turn 8. However, the 2 didn't change anything, and Cechowski took the pot and eliminated his two opponents.

Ishikawa Climbs in the Counts

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Farian Ishikawa opened to 1,700 in early position and picked up calls from a player in middle position, the button and Matt Stout in the small blind.

The flop went 6QK and Ishikawa checked to the middle position player who bet 1,700. The button and Matt Stout called before Ishikawa raised it to 8,700. This time only the button called and stayed in the pot.

The turn fell the 3 and after some thinking, Ishikawa shoved for 28,100. His opponent tanked a minute and called all in with a stack around 20,000.

Ishikawa flipped over AK for top pair, while his opponent held 25. The latter didn't find any of the outs he needed on the 8 and Ishikawa took down the pot while his opponent left the event.

Panka Risks it All to Take it Down

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

As the J completed the board, Panka jammed all in for 14,500. His opponent considered a call, but eventually folded as Panka took down the pot.
