Jacob Mendelsohn opened the action to 60,000 from early position and it folded to the cutoff who moved all in for just under 500,000. The rest of the table folded and Mendelsohn snap-called to put his opponent at risk.
Cutoff: A♦10♣
Jacob Mendelsohn: A♣A♥
Mendelsohn was well out front, and when the board ran out J♣3♥2♣Q♣Q♠, it was the aces that held up to score the pot for Mendelsohn and send his opponent to the exit.
Action was joined on a flop of 6♥7♣Q♦. A player in early position checked it over to Bryce Hutchings in late position who put out a bet. The action was back on early position who didn't waste much time before check-raising all in for about 400,000.
Hutchings went into the tank and appeared to be in a tricky spot. Eventually he put in the chips and the cards hit their backs.
Early Position Player: Q♣5♠
Bryce Hutchings: K♦Q♥
Both players held a pair of queens with Hutchings just needing to avoid his opponent making two pair. The turn brought a 9♠ and the river a 2♦ giving Hutchings the win after a great call.
After a shove in early position for 100,000 chips, Etay Akshuta in the hijack pushed all his chips in the middle too, for 380,000 chips. An amount that Yang Zhang, in the big blind, called.
Early Position Player: A♥3♥
Etay Akshuta: K♥Q♠
Yang Zhang: 8♦8♥
This hand almost ended as it started, as Yang Zhang's pair was still in the lead on 5♠J♥9♠3♠. But the K♦ on the river permitted Akshuta to stay in the tournament and almost triple his stack.
In his pursuit of a second WSOP bracelet this summer, Yang Zhang stayed over one million chips. However, the player in early position was eliminated in this hand.
The action was picked up in a three-way pot with close to 225,000 in the middle on a flop showing 8♣7♥7♣. The small blind and [Removed:599] in middle position checked to Kathy Liebert in the cutoff who bet out 75,000.
The small blind called and [Removed:601] put in a check-raise to 210,000. Liebert took a moment before letting her cards go and the small blind went deep in the tank. After close to a minute of thought, the small blind released their cards as well and the pot was sent to [Removed:601].
Level: 23
Blinds: 15,000/30,000
Ante: 30,000
An under-the-gun player moved all in for 240,000 and David Sebesfi made the call from the hijack. The rest of the table got out of the way and the cards were on their backs.
Under-the-Gun Player: 6♣6♦
David Sebesfi: A♦10♦
It was a fair fight preflop, but when the board ran out A♥10♥8♣10♣5♠, it was the full house for Sebesfi that scored the pot to send his opponent to the rail.
There was an early position open to 50,000 by Steven Stolzenfeld and action folded to the small blind. He waited only a moment and three-bet to 175,000. Stolzenfeld called.
The flop came 8♠3♦9♣ and the small blind continued for 200,000. Stolzenfeld got a count, looked over the board, and eventually mvoed all in having the small blind covered.
The small blind went into the tank for over five minutes before the clock was eventually called. After a 30-second countdown the small blind folded and Stolzenfeld dragged a massive pot with no showdown.
A player opened from middle position to 50,000, and all the other players folded to Joe Ebanks, who completed from the big blind.
On the flop, 8♠9♣4♦, the two players decided to check. Then the turn 2♠ came. Ebanks took the lead, betting 90,000. His opponent called, and both players arrived at the river 6♥.
Ebanks added 75,000 to the pot, and the player in middle position called. But he could only tap the table to congratulate and muck his cards, because Ebanks showed 10♥9♦ for a top pair.
In a heads-up pot with close to 250,000 in the middle on a flop showing 5♦3♣2♣, a player in middle position checked to Terry Felix in the cutoff who bet out 60,000. The middle position player called and the pair saw the 9♠ turn.
Both players checked their options and the 7♣ peeled off on the river. The middle position player took a few seconds before cutting out a bet of 200,000 and Felix went into the tank. After close to a minute, Felix made the call and the cards were shown.
The middle position player tabled K♣Q♥ for the king-high bluff, while Felix rolled over 4♣4♦ for the pair of fours hero call to scoop the pot.
