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

Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Action was joined on the river as the board read 6♥7♠2♥3♥Q♠. There was a pot north of 100,000 in the middle and Omar Saeed was mid-tank for his entire stack from the button.
Big stack Casey Brown had forced him all in from middle position. Saeed stewed it over for his remaining amount of around 45,000 and eventually he spiked a stack of chips in the middle for the call.
Omar Saeed: A♦K♦ 
Casey Brown: 9♦8♦
Saeed had just ace high but it beat the air that Brown had to take away a good portion of the big stack's chips.

Ethan Yau: A♣Q♦

Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Action picked up preflop with WSOP bracelet winner Jared Jaffe at risk after an opponent to his immediate right called.
Jared Jaffe: Q♠Q♣
Opponent: AxKx
The dealer fanned 2♥J♥10♠ on the flop, keeping Jaffe in the lead but giving his opponent a gut-shot straight draw. The Q♦ on the turn gave Jaffe top set, but completed his opponent’s straight.
Jaffe was saved from elimination when the 2♣ appeared on the river, pairing the board and giving Jaffe a full house for a double up.
