With the end of registration, the field of entrants has reached 527 players, besting last year's field by five.
Action folded to the button who stuck in a raise that was immediately followed by a three-bet out of the small blind and a four-bet from Melissa Zapata in the big blind. Both the button and the small blind called to see a flop of 10♣7♥3♦.
Action checked around to the A♥ turn which saw the small blind player check, Zapata toss out a bet, the button fold and the small blind player call before the dealer put out the J♠ on the river.
The small blind player check-called a bet from Zapata before watching her turn over A♦J♣ to take down the pot.

After a bet by Matthew Aronowitz and a call by Humberto Brenes on a board of 4♣9♣10♦K♦, the two took a J♦ river. Aronowitz bet and Brenes folded.
Brenes let the table know he had folded a pair of tens as he flashed the Ax10x. Aronowitz showed his holding was slightly stronger when he rolled over A♦Q♦ for a royal flush.

Tom Stinson had himself a sequence within a span of three hands during the middle period of Level 10.
After winning a pot from two-time WSOP braclet winner Erick Lindgren, Stinson scored a knockout just two hands later against Eric Wasserson, who had less than 5,000 to start the hand.
On a board of 2♠8♣3♥, Stinson, who was under the gun, led out with a bet and Wasserson and another player called. The turn brought 8♠, and Stinson continued the action with a bet, prompting Wasserson to move all in. The player to Wasserson’s immediate left folded, and Stinson called to put Wasserson’s tournament life at risk.
Stinson tabled 5♦5♣, while Wasserson showed 6♥5♦ and drawing to a gut-shot straight and one of the remaining sixes in the deck.
The river, however, brought a harmless 9♣ to give Stinson the win and end Wasserson’s tournament.

2020 WSOP bracelet winner Nick Guagenti’s tournament came to an end during the opening minutes of Level 11.
Guagenti made an all-in bet with his remaining stack on a board of J♠J♣2♥, but was quickly called by Lee Markholt, who tabled K♥J♦ to show he flopped trips.
Guagenti, who tabled A♠3♠, needed a lot of help in the form of runner-runner Aces or runner-runner 5 and 4 for a straight, but a 7♦ on the turn and a harmless 4x on the river sealed his fate.
