Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Around his neck, Justin Young is wearing his WSOP credential from... 2004! Seated under the picture of this year's edition Greg Raymer, Young is currently playing his 20th Main Event.

He is doing great so far with 95,000 chips. But his stack just decreased after he opened to 1,200 from middle position. On his left, Steven Stout three-bet to 3,200, and Young was the only one to call.

On 5♠8♥6♣, Stout continued to 3,500. But Young decided to check-raise to 11,000. An amount that Stout called.

The 6♦ landed on the turn, and Young bet 25,000. With only 17,000 chips remaining, Stout was struggling, but he eventually made the call.

Steven Stout: Q♣Q♥
Justin Young: 8♠7♠

Stout's queens held on the river 5♦, and he doubled up. On the other hand, Young is down to 65,000.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

On a turn of 3♦3♠A♣2♦, Christopher Adams was under-the-gun when he bet 5,000 into the pot of around 12,000 and was called by Justin Belforti in the hijack.

The river came the 6♠ and this time Adams decided to check to Belforti, who then fired off a big bet of 21,000. Adams did not think too long before he threw in his cards face-up, showing J♦J♣.

Eric Bonin raised it up in middle position and Christopher Jewell three-bet on the button. The action was back on Bonin who four-bet shoved all in and Jewell called off his stack of 23,500.

Christopher Jewell: K♠K♥
Eric Bonin: A♥A♦

It was a cold deck for Jewell who was in desperate need of two outs. The flop came K♣Q♥7♥ and the table roared as Jewell spiked a king to take the lead. The 4♥ on the turn gave Bonin a flush draw but the 4♣ bricked out on the river as Jewell doubled up.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Over at table 104, Stephen Chidwick has been winning the majority of pots he's been involved in and the latest one was no different. Chidwick raised to 1,200 preflop and the big blind defended. Chidwick bet 2,300 on the K♥7♥6♣ flop before both players checked the Q♥ on the turn.

On the K♣ river, the big blind put out a small bet of 2,200 which Chidwick called. The big blind showed 7♣4♠ but the Brit had him outkicked with A♣7♠.

Ivanov More Than Doubles

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

On a board reading Q♦K♦4♥3♥, the small blind bet 7,700 and was reraised all in by Tihomir Ivanov from under the gun — for 25,100.

The player on the button folded and the small blind went into the tank. After a couple of minutes the clock was called, at which point he said, "Alright... I hope you have a flush draw." and pushed his chips in. It was a forlorn hope.

Tihomir Ivanov: A♥A♣
Small Blind: K♠6♥

The river was no help, falling 7♦ and Ivanov raked in the chips.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

One of the chip leaders of the Silver section in Horseshoe, Luis Faria, had 220,000 chips when he found himself in middle position against the hijack on 10♠J♥2♥.

Both players checked on the flop. Then Faria bet 7,000 on the turn 6♦, and his opponent called. On the river K♥, Faria checked, and the hijack bet 8,000. After a moment of reflection, Faria made the call, but mucked his cards as his opponent showed A♥10♥.

After this hand, Faria left his table to go on a break with 198,000 chips.

The player under the gun raised to 1,200 and Hiroyuki Noda in the big blind defended. The flop came J♦5♠3♦ and the player under the gun made a continuation bet of 2,300 and Noda called.

The turn was the A♣ and the player under the gun pushed the aggression button again and made a bet of 6,500. Noda made the call without hesitation.

The player under the gun gave up on the river 7♣ and Noda turned over 5♣2♠ for fourth pair and the other player mucked.
