The at risk player had his 63,500 across the betting line, with Wesiman being the bigger stack.

Button: A♦K♠ All in
Dylan Weisman: 6♠6♥

Weisman's pocket pair headed into the muck as his opponent made trips on the K♦5♥K♣4♣Q♣ runout.

On a nearby table, 2020 WSOP Online Main Event champion Stoyan Madanzhiev open-raised from under the gun. 2015 WSOP Main Event winner Joe McKeehen called from the small blind.

Action checked through to the river, and McKeehen took down the pot as Madanzhiev folded to his 5,500 river bet on the 7♥J♥10♥2♠7♦ board.

Martin Zamani :A♣A♥

The 5♠2♦9♣10♥7♥ wasn't enough for Moorman to win this pot and Zamani has eclipsed to 200,000 chip mark.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Kristen Foxen opened to 4,000 from under the gun and was called by Nikita Kuznetsov from the small blind. Kuznetsov check-folded to a bet of 4,000 on the J♦7♠6♠ flop, awarding Foxen the pot.

On a nearby table, sports card aficionado Jared Bleznick was in the tank, facing a decision on the river.

With the 7♠6♦4♣3♠A♠ board on show, Bleznick checked in the small blind. The cutoff fired 22,000 into a pot of around 50,000. After some time in the tank, Bleznick open-folded his two pair A♥4♠, and showed a little sign of frustration.

Kornuth Has Some Words for Jorstad

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

There was a battle between the blinds, with Ana Marquez in the small while Espen Jorstad, who occupied the seat that once belonged to Brad Owen, was in the big.

In a single raised pot to the A♥7♠6♣ flop, Marquez check-called for 3,500 before the 4♥ turn and 7♥ river checked through to showdown.

Marquez tabled K♠6♠ for a pair of sixes, and Jorstad mucked.

"Bullet one, and you let her win with a six!" laughed Chance Kornuth, who is flying high in the counts.
