Kane Kalas opened to 20,000 on the button and Owen Messere called.

Messere check-called a 16,500 bet from Kalas on the J♦3♠10♠ flop and then both players checked on the A♣ turn.

The 2♥ completed the board and Messere checked once more. Kalas cut out a bet of 117,000 and placed it into the middle, which got a quick fold from Messere to award Kalas the pot.

Meanwhile, Sam Soverel has chipped Faraz Jaka down to under 200,000 across the table.

Despite taking the lead moments ago, Cary Katz was one again trailing Artur Martirosian

In a match reminiscent of Rocky IV's Apollo Creed vs Ivan Drago, the Russian delivered a killer blow to Katz's bracelet pursuit.

In a three-bet pot to the 2♠10♦4♠ flop, Katz bet 67,000 from the big blind and called off the 300,000 more he had behind when Martirosian jammed.

Cary Katz: K♠K♦All in
Artur Martirosian: 8♠7♠

The turn was the 5♥ keeping Katz ahead, but the 10♠ river completed Martirosian's flush draw to book his place in the Quarter Finals.

Martirosian will face Patrick Kennedy in the next round.

Mizumoto in Awe of Smith

The match-up between Weston Mizumoto and John Smith offers an interesting dynamic, with Mizumoto being many years younger than the veteran.

Mizumoto asked Smith about his history in the event and was in awe as Smith reeled off his Heads-Up record.

Through the polite discourse, they tangled in a hand, that saw Smith take a small lead.

Smith opened to 6,500 from the button and was called. Mizimoto check-called for 7,000 on the 8♣5♠5♦ flop before folding to a bet of 10,000 on the 7♥ turn.

On a nearby table is the duel between Sam Soverel and Faraz Jaka. It appears the match has been back and forth in the early goings, with stacks looking even.

On a wet board of J♣8♦9♣K♣, and 65,000 in the middle, Cary Katz led out with a bet of 50,000 and Artur Martirosian called.

The river brought the 8♥ and Katz fired out another bet, this time for 165,000. Martirosian used two time bank cards before eventually tossing his cards into the muck.

It is proving to be a back and forth match between the two early on.

Jacks Enough for Miller

Level 25 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 0 ante

Marko Grujic opened to 6,000 on the button and Joseph Miller called.

Miller then check-called a 5,000 bet from Grujic on the 6♠J♥3♠ flop and a 22,000 bet from Grujic on the K♣ turn.

Both players checked down on the river and Miller turned over J♠4♠ for a pair of jacks, which got a nod of acknowledgement from Grujic followed by a muck to send the pot Miller’s way.

Across the table, James Gorham has built up a similar chip lead over Nikolai Mamut.
