Level 2

Limit Hold'em

Dylan Weisman raised in the small blind with Scott Seiver calling out of the big.

Weisman continued on the 7♥10♠K♥ flop before calling a raise from Seiver.

Both players checked through the 2♦ turn to the 2♠ river at which point Weisman bet. Seiver quickly called holding 10♦4♠, which had outflopped Weisman's 8♣8♦ to take down the pot.

Level 2

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Eric Wasserson raised to 4,000 from the hijack and Wil Wilkinson put 6,000 into the middle from the small blind, apparently intending to call. The action was ruled a raise, however, and Wilkinson was forced to raise to 6,000.

Action folded back to Wasserson, who made it 21,000 to go.

"What did you go and do that for?" Wilkinson asked in jest.

"I have no choice," Wasserson replied.

Wilkinson laid his hand down and Wasserson dragged the pot.

Level 2

A few minutes after the start of Level 2, Gus Hansen was seen taking his seat. The old school player and former regular on the show High Stakes Poker has not played much tournament poker of late, despite having over $10 million in live career earnings. He only has two recorded cashes in the last decade, one of which came at the 2019 WSOP Main Event but will be looking to add another by the time this event concludes.

Level 1

2-7 Triple Draw

Seth Gottlieb limped in and Felipe Ramos checked his option from the big blind. Ramos discarded all five cards against the two of Gottlieb and grinned at Daniel Negreanu, who had walked over to the table. "Daniel, do you want to play this hand?"

Ramos check-called a bet and discarded three, Gottlieb took two. Ramos check-called another bet before both discard one and checked. Ramos showed the 8x7x4x3x2x and won the pot.

Level 1

No-Limit Hold'em

Eli Elezra raised to 4,000 on the button and Alex Livingston called from the big blind.

Livingston checked to Elezra, who bet 3,000 on the 4♣K♥3♠ flop. Livingston check-raised to 12,000 and, without missing a beat, Elezra made it 38,500 to go.

Livingston went into the tank, but eventually decided to let his hand go and Elezra was awarded the pot.
