Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Ebony Kenney raised 3,000 in the cutoff and Alan Sabok defended the big blind.

The A♠Q♦7♣ flop was checked through to see the 9♥ turn.

The 3♣ hit the turn, and Sabok check-raised the 3,000 bet of Kenney to 11,000. Kenney made the call.

When the 2♠ landed on the river, Sabok fired a bet of 20,000. Kenney took about 30 seconds before making the call and saw the bad news as Sabok tabled 9♦7♦ for two pair, and she mucked her hand.

Cavanaugh Piles on the Pressure

Ollie Garland

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

A player in early position raised to 3,000, finding James Cavanaugh in the hijack who three-bet to 8,500. The original raiser called.

The flop of 4♥J♥3♠ saw the early position check the action to Cavanaugh who continued for 11,000. His opponent called.

The 2♠ fell on the turn and again the action was check to Cavanaugh who bet 50,000, more than enough to put his opponent all in. After some time in the tank, they finally tossed their cards into the muck and conceded the pot to Cavanaugh.

Andrew Knowles

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

The action was picked up in a pot of close to 27,000 on a flop showing J♥8♥4♣. A player in the big blind led out for 12,500 and Jonathan Boyer raised to 30,000 from early position. The big blind moved all in, covering the 73,000 total for Boyer, who quickly called.

Jonathan Boyer: 8♦8♠
Big Blind: A♥A♠

Boyer out-flopped the aces with a set and was in great shape for a double up. The board ran out J♣K♦ and the set of eights held for Boyer to score a full double up.

"That was a sweat. My first time all in all tournament," said Boyer as he collected his newly acquired chips.

James Hartigan was eliminated from the WSOP Main Event when his kings ran into aces in a preflop all-in.

On the other end of the spectrum, Maurice Hawkins keeps raking in chips left and right and is sitting on a stack of well over 800,000.

Dwan Shows Another Monster

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Tom Dwan was in the big blind and bet 19,000 on a flop of Q♥6♣3♣. His opponent in early position called and they went heads-up to the Q♦ turn.

Dwan fired out another 18,500 and his opponent again quickly called. The river came the 8♣ and Dwan threw out 35,000 this time.

The early-position player tanked for a moment before calling as Dwan turned over Q♣6♣ for a full house to drag in another big pot and climb up to 300,000.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Chad McMahon's day began with a river suckout. It just ended with a brutal cooler, and not in his favor this time.

McMahon three-bet to 12,000 from the cutoff and Brittney Stout called in early position, as did one other opponent. The flop came 6♣A♦8♣ and McMahon moved all in for 30,000. Stout snap-called while the other player got out of the way.

Chad McMahon: A♣K♠
Brittney Stout: A♠6♠

McMahon had flopped top pair, but Stout had two pair and improved to a full house on the 6♦ turn. The river 5♣ was no help to McMahon and he was sent to the rail.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Leo Margets sat in the small blind and checked on a flop of 5♠8♣2♣. She was heads up against the player on the button and he made a bet of 6,000 into the pot of 9,000.

Margets thought for a while before putting in the raise to 16,500. The button quickly folded, revealing a 2♠ while doing so, which got a smile out of Margets.

Mizrachi Flops the World

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Ryan Lashmar

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Action was picked up on the turn with the board reading 9♥7♣6♣2♦ and a sizable pot already brewing. A player in early position bet 12,000 and Robert Mizrachi made the call from the hijack. A player on the button raised to 42,000 and the early position player called for less, putting himself all in and at risk.

Action was back on Mizrachi, who moved all in for 109,500 sending the player on the button, who slightly covered Mizrachi, deep into the tank. After about a minute the button made the call to put both of his opponents at risk.

Early Position: A♣5♣
Robert Mizrachi: 10♣8♣
Button: 6♠6♦

In what can only be described as a cooler, the button had flopped a set, the early position player had flopped the nut-flush draw and Mizrachi had flopped a straight with a redraw to a straight flush. The river was the 8♠, and Mizrachi's ten-high straight was enough to secure a colossal triple up, eliminating one opponent and catapulting Mizrachi near the top of the counts in the process.
