Picking up the action on the turn, Jake Daniels on the button was involved in a hand with a player in the big blind. With the board reading K♥7♦6♦Q♠, Daniels had a bet of 37,000 in front of him. His opponent responded by moving all in for over 100,000 and, after some thought, Daniels decided to take the safe route and release his holding to drop down to a little over starting stack.

After two shorter stacks moved all in before him, Sean Winter moved all-in over the top and the remaining players quickly folded as the cards were tabled.
Player 1: 8♥4♥
Player 2: 7♦7♠
Sean Winter: A♥Q♥
"Oh, you've got this, easy," Someone at the table told Sean, and just like that, a queen appeared right in the window of the Q♠10♣6♥ flop to give him the lead.
The board completed with the 2♠3♥ to secure his victory and he was awarded the pot along with two shiny bounties for his efforts.

A player from under the gun moved all in for 26,000 and it folded to the cutoff who raised to 200,000. Martin Kabrhel tanked for close to two minutes before the clock was called and he was given 20 seconds to act. With one second remaining, Kabrhel called for his last 51,500 total. The rest of the table folded and the cards were on their backs.
Under The Gun: 9♠9♦
Martin Kabrhel: A♣5♣
Cutoff: K♦9♥
The board ran out A♦K♥Q♠2♣5♦ and Kabrhel made two pair to score the knock out and double up through the big stack.
"I played that awesome! Don't you think PokerNews?" asked Kabrhel as he gathered his chips.
"Write that down, I played it so awesome," joked Kabrhel.

Fans are welcome to come to celebrate the life of the late poker legend Doyle Brunson at Horseshoe Las Vegas on July 2 at 11:30 a.m.
Many high-profile poker players will speak at the memorial, which will take place inside the Jubilee Theater near the Horseshoe poker room, about a two-minute walk from the World Series of Poker (WSOP) tournament area.
Brunson, a 10-time WSOP bracelet winner and 1988 Poker Hall of Fame inductee, passed away last month at 89. He left behind quite a legacy in poker and will forever be remembered as one of the all-time greats.
Some former Brunson opponents and long-time friends such Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth, and Dewey Tomko will speak at the event. Jack Binion, former owner of Binion's Horseshoe, the original site of the WSOP, will also give a speech.
Action was joined with Phil Ivey all in from the small blind, with the player on the button putting him at risk.
Phil Ivey: 9♣9♦
Button: 7♥7♦
Ivey's higher pocket pair survived the 2♦J♦2♣3♥8♣ board, and he doubled up.

Phil Hellmuth opened to 12,000 on the button and was called by a player in the big blind.
Action checked through the A♦6♠9♠ flop to the A♠ turn at which point the big blind checked again. Hellmuth bet 9,000 only to see his opponent raise to 21,500. After some thought, Hellmuth folded, cautioning the big blind to be "easy buddy, easy" as he did so.
