Masashi Oya opened 11,000 in middle position and both Curtis Meeks and Sam Soverel came along from the blinds.
The action checked to the Q♥J♦7♥A♣K♥ river, and both Meeks and Soverel checked once more before Oya flung 30,000 across the line. That was enough to drag the pot as both players quickly released their hands.
Level: 5
Blinds: 2,500/5,000
Ante: 5,000
Michael Jordan (sorry, LeBron James fans). Tom Brady. Tiger Woods. Serena Williams. Phil Ivey. What do these five superstars have in common? They're all widely considered the best to have ever done it in their respective sports.
On Thursday, Ivey captured his 11th World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet when he took down Event #29: $10,000 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw Championship (6-Handed). That puts him alone in second place behind the 17 bracelets Phil Hellmuth holds.
Players have been sent on their second 15-minute break of the day. They will return to blinds of 2,500/5,000 with a 5,000 big blind ante.
Bill Klein's cards went on their backs as he found himself at risk from the cutoff for 309,000 against David Coleman on the button.
Bill Klein: A♥Q♥ 
David Coleman: A♦K♦
Klein found no help on a board of 9♣3♣3♦4♥A♣ and he was eliminated.
Pieter Aerts opened 9,000 under the gun and both Frank Funaro and Phil Ivey called in the blinds.
All three players checked to the Q♣J♦8♥6♥ turn, where both Funaro and Ivey checked once again. Aerts bet 10,500 and Funaro check-raised to 62,000. Ivey quickly got out of the way and Aerts made the call.
When the K♥ landed on the river, Funaro jammed all-in and Aerts snap-called his remaining 178,000.
Funaro tabled A♣10♥ for Broadway but Aerts rolled over A♥J♥ for a flush as he scooped a double-up.
Picking up the action on the flop, Morten Klein in the cutoff was involved in a hand with Santosh Survana in the small blind as well as [Removed:564] in the big blind.
With the board reading 9♥4♠6♠ action checked to Klein. He bet 15,000, receiving a call from Survana. [Removed:565], however, responded with a raise to 55,000. Klein called while Survana folded.
[Removed:565] slowed down on the K♥ turn, checking to Klein, who fired off 76,000. After burning a time extension, [Removed:565] called.
The K♠ river paired the board and saw Klein move all in after [Removed:565] checked to him. [Removed:565] was the effective stack with around 140,000 behind and ultimately decided to preserve his remaining chips by conceding the pot to Klein.
There were around 90,000 chips in the pot on a board of 10♥6♣10♦Q♠A♥ when Sergio Aido checked it over to Justin Bonomo. After some time, Bonomo announced a bet of 52,000 and put the chips into the pot, and Aido folded.
Lewis Spencer raised to 9,000 from under the gun and Andrew Lichtenberger three-bet to 28,000 from the hijack. When it got back to Spencer, he called.
On the 7♠4♦7♣ flop, Spencer checked it over to Lichtenberger, who bet 22,000. Spencer folded.
In a blind versus blind situation, Brek Schutten limped so Leon Sturm only had to check his option to find a flop of 6♣6♥J♣.
Schutten bet 4,000 and was called, so he fired a second barrel of 10,000 on the 8♦ turn. Sturm called once again.
The 7♠ river completed the board and Schutten bet 18,000. But this time, Sturm decided to fold.
