Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Popular podcast host Adam "Adam22" Grandmaison had entered his second ever WSOP Main Event and tweeted he spun up the stack to 88,000 in the first level of play. He was moved into the Silver section of the Horseshoe Event Center from where he vanished just before the previous break.

According to players at the table, Grandmaison got it in with around 40,000 and ace-queen off suit but ran smack dab into the pocket kings of Julie Bae. The 6x4x4x flop kept Grandmaison in contention but another king on the turn gave Bae an unbeatable full house.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Heads-up on a board of 3♥J♠6♥5♣, Richard Seymour bet 10,000 from under the gun before John Desimone raised from the small blind to 26,000.

Seymour tanked for a moment before calling as the 5♠ fell on the river. Desimone then slowed down and checked, and Seymour quickly checked back and showed Q♦Q♠. Desimone mucked and the Pro Football Hall of Famer took the pot.
