Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Jay Gilbert made it 800 from under the gun and Elia Ahmadian called from the big blind.

They each put in 700 on the K♣5♣3♥ flop then checked to showdown after the 7♦ turn and J♠ river.

Ahmadian tabled A♥4♠ for ace-high, and Gilbert flipped A♣7♣ for a pair of sevens to win the pot.

On another table, Chino Rheem has lost a chunk of his starting stack and now has 16,000 chips.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

On a flop of 5♥4♥5♦, Maria Ho had checked out of the big blind and Igor Tregoubov bet 1,200. A player in the cutoff folded before Ho put in the call.

The turn came the 8♣. Ho thought briefly before leading out for roughly 3,500. Tregoubov was visibly annoyed by this turn and Ho's bet. Ultimately he settled on a fold.

Ho assured Tregoubov that she "had it" as she slid her cards face down to the dealer.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Action picked up on a board showing 7♥8♦2♦ with Punnat Punsri involved in a hand against Jangkyu Lee and another player.

Punsri, who had less than 25,000, led out with a 5,000 bet. Lee looked at Punsri from across the table and raised to 25,400. The other player in the hand immediately folded and Punsri called to put his tournament at risk.

Punnat Punsri: K♦J♦ All in
Jangkyu Lee: 9♠9♥

Punsri had the flush draw, but he was behind Lee’s overpair to the board.

The dealer placed 10♠ on the turn, and then the 4♥ gave Lee the winning hand and sent Punsri to the rail.

Ollie Garland

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

The pot stood at approximately 27,000 with two players looking at a board dealt to the turn as it read 6♦4♠2♦5♣.

Xiaohu Liu, in middle position, bet out for 17,000. Isaac Haxton, in the hijack, went deep into the tank.

Haxton, visibly thrown off by Liu's bet, thought for some time before finally making the fold, claiming to have made a big lay down.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

George Sanford was in a three-way hand on the flop as it read 9♣5♣7♥. All three players checked to the turn which came the J♠. Richard Sperberg bet 2,000, Georgios Soritopoulos called and Sanford got out of the way. The river was the A♥, Sperberg fired 4,500 and Sotiropoulos folded to send Sperberg the pot.

Sanford is fortunate be playing in this main event as he just finished chemotherapy for stage 4 cancer and is currently playing against doctors wishes. But he said that he can not guarantee he will ever have another chance to play this tournament, which has been a bucket list for him for many years so he is making the most of the time he has now.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Action picked up with six-time WSOP bracelet winner Shaun Deeb on the button and involved in a hand against two opponents, one in the big blind and the other in the cutoff.

The flop showed 8♠7♠2♥ and both of Deeb’s opponents checked. Deeb responded by betting 1,100, which drew a call from the player in the big blind. The player in the cutoff folded.

The dealer placed Q♦ on the turn, and Deeb and his opponent checked.

The A♦ showed up on the river and the player in the big blind led out with 2,500, which Deeb immediately called.

The player in the big blind tabled 8♥5♦, but his pair of eights were not good once Deeb tabled 10♠10♣.
