Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Action was picked up on a A♦6♦8♠ flop with 680,000 in the middle.

Ahram Kim fired out 550,000 from the cutoff and Bamshad Azizi called in the small blind.

The turn 7♥ hit the felt and Kim moved all in for 1,200,000. Azizi went into the tank but eventually flicked in a chip for a call.

Ahram Kim: J♦7♦ All in
Bamshad Azizi: A♣9♦

The river Q♥ did not improve Kim, his pair of sevens was bested by a pair of aces, and he was eliminated while Azizi dragged in a momentum-shifting pot.

Level 28 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

On a flop of 9♥2♠7♥, Casey Hatmaker was already all in while Ricardo Capela and Changle Lin were battling it out for the side pot.

After checking through the flop, they went to the turn Q♠ which saw another check from Lin and then a bet of 600,000 from Capela. After a lengthy staredown, Lin decided to toss in his cards and the other two tabled their hands.

Casey Hatmaker: A♣K♣ All in
Ricardo Capela: A♥Q♦

Hatmaker needed to hit a king and only a king to stay alive, but the river was the J♣ to send him out while Capela scooped the healthy pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Ricardo Capela	3,300,000 2,180,000	2,180,000
Changle Lin	1,600,000 1,180,000	1,180,000

Jon Sofen

Level 28 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

David Moses became the fourth player in three days to bust at the start of a Day 1 session in the $10,000 buy-in World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event. And he wasn't the only one eliminated right off the bat on Day 1c.

On Wednesday — Day 1a — two players were eliminated at separate tables on the first hand. One player lost with a full house against quads, while another flopped a set that was cracked by a straight. More of the same occurred on Day 1b when a flush beat a straight. Unfortunately, for one well-known poker pro, it's happened again for the third straight day.
