Players are now on their final 20-minute break of the evening. When they return play will resume at level 10 with blinds at 1,000/2,000 with a 2,000 big blind ante.

The last two hours have been full of action and the pace of play has picked up now that late registration has ended. Below are some highlights from level nine.

Emami Hero Calls River

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

The action was picked up in a pot of roughly 20,000 on a completed board showing K8387. Amirpasha Emami was deep in the tank after his opponent in early position bet 13,000.

After close to two minutes of thought, Emami tossed in the chips for a call. His opponent tabled 109 for ten-high and Emami happily tabled A5 for the ace-high hero call to take down the pot.

Wilson Goes For the Knockout Punch on Garcia

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

Brandon Wilson three-bet to 8,500 before the flop and was called by both Ryan Garcia and Harish Ananthapadmanabha.

The flop came 963 and Garcia led out for 13,000. Ananthapadmanabha quickly folded, but Wilson came back with a raise to 27,000.

Garcia called to the 10 turn, where he led out again for 45,000. Wilson spent a few minutes tanking before announcing he was all in.

Garcia, with around 70,000 behind, now tanked for several minutes before giving up his hand.

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

Maurice Hawkins had been stacking up further chips and the TV crew as well as players at the table and the rail confirmed a double-elimination.

The table was supposed to head to the feature stage but Brandon Mincher as well as David Martin won't get there.

On a three-way flop of J109, Martin bet and Hawkins raised to 30,000. Mincher then jammed and Martin called all-in, Hawkins called both of them.

David Martin: 1010
Brandon Mincher: KQ
Maurice Hawkins: A7

The A turn and 8 river changed nothing as Hawkins chipped up even further.

Casaly Stuns Da-Silva

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

Ryan Casaly bet 5,000 from middle position on a flop of A38 before Chris Da-Silva, in the big blind, raised to 13,000.

Casaly called to the J turn, where he called another bet of 13,500. The river came the 6 and this time Da-Silva slowed down and checked.

Casaly then fired out 16,000, sending Da-Silva deep into the tank. He ripped off his headphones and stood up from his seat, eventually kneeling back on his seat and leaning over the table. He eventually held up the chips to call and let them fall in the middle.

Casaly turned over AJ for two pair and Da-Silva threw away A3. "Nice turn," a frustrated Da-Silva said as he sat back down.

Simpson Gets a Fold

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

The player on the button opened to 3,000 and was called by Conrad Simpson in the small blind.

Simpson check-called a 3,500 bet from his opponent on the 68J flop and then put two red 5000-denomination chips into the middle when the 8 paired the board on the turn.

His opponent re-checked his hole cards and sent them into the muck — conceding the pot to Simpson.

Fujita Leaves with a Smile

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

A completed board of 5544J was fanned out in a pot between Yoshikazu Fujita and Austin Yoo. Fujita had checked to Yoo, and the latter bet enough to put Fujita all-in for roughly 70,000 chips.

With the pot being worth over 100,000 chips at that point, Fujita had a serious decision at hand. Eventually, he put in the call and Yoo immediately flipped over his KK.

Fujita then quickly showed his QQ, laughed, and said his goodbyes to the table as he left the Main Event in good spirits.
