Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Melanie Weisner had already raised from the cutoff and was three-bet to 7,000 by Nhan Nguyen on the button. Action folded back to Weisner, who made it 18,000 to go. Nguyen called.

Weisner shoved for 42,000 on the 10♥Q♣9♣ flop and Nguyen called to put Weisner at risk after tanking for a bit.

Melanie Weisner: K♦K♥All in
Nhan Nguyen: J♥J♠

Weisner was ahead, but still had plenty of outs to fade. The Q♥7♣ runout bricked out for Nguyen, however, and Weisner was awarded the double up with her kings.

Logan Hoover raised to 2,200 and earned three callers including Ethan Yau in the small blind. The flop brought 9♥6♣4♦ and the action checked to Hoover, who bet 1,800. It folded back to Yau who went for a check-raise to 7,000 and Hoover came along for the ride.

Yau then led the K♥ turn for 14,000 but Hoover came back with a raise to 35,000 for Yau to call.

The 3♥ river was checked by Yau and Hoover tossed in a green T-25,000 chip for a final stab at the pot. Yau called and no showdown followed, as Hoover sent his cards into the muck.

Having started the day with a shorter stack, Yau has more than quadrupled the amount since.

In a five-way pot, action on the 9♣6♣4♠ flop was checked through before Rahul Deevara bet 4,300 from the cutoff on the 3♥ turn.

Abdullah Al-Shanti then raised to 11,000 on the button as the table folded fold to Deevara, who moved all in for 38,000. Al-Shanti called with 7♣5♠ for a turned straight, while Deevara had 6♠6♥ for a set.

Deevara needed to fill up on the river to survive, and the dealer flipped over the 3♣ to complete his full house and earn Deevara a double up.

"The Indian poker wizard," Deevara said.

Around 30,000 was in the pot as Elliot Smith and an opponent saw the turn on a board of 4♦2♥6♠7♠.

The cutoff then bet 20,000 before Smith, in early position, moved all in for 75,000. His opponent went deep into the tank, taking several minutes to consider the decision.

Smith spent the time kneeling on the ground as his opponent continued to tank. The cutoff eventually apologized to the table and slid his cards back to the dealer as Smith took down the pot.

Chris Hunichen and Daniel Lowery were recently eliminated from this section.

Heads-up on a flop of 6♣4♦9♦, Rassoul Malboubi bet 5,000 from the small blind before an opponent under the gun moved all in for 22,000. Malboubi called to put him at risk.

All-In Player: A♦Q♦ All in
Rassoul Malboubi: K♠9♠

Malboubi was ahead with top pair, while his opponent had a flush draw to go with his overcards. The 5♥ turn was safe for Malboubi, while the 10♠ river secured him the pot and sent his opponent to the rail.

Irene Carey and Alen Bakovic pointed out the details of a recent elimination, which happened to be none other than Huck Seed. According to both, Seed four-bet jammed for 52,000 with the 7♠6♠ and was called by Tanner Rose with the AxKx.

Seed picked up outs with the 8♠8♣4♣ flop and Q♠ turn but the Q♥ river ended his run in just five hands.

On the side feature table, Joe Cada moved all in for 11,100 from early position and was at risk to Eliran Pilo, who was on the button.

Joe Cada: 4♦4♣All in
Eliran Pilo: K♥K♠

The A♦K♦5♣ flop saw Pilo make a set to leave Cada drawing thin. The 8♦ turn gave Cada some hope with a flush draw but the 2♠ river was a brick and Cada exited on Day 2d.

A player in early position raised to 2,600 and picked up three callers, including Steven Jones in middle position.

The flop came 7♣7♠10♦ and action checked to the cutoff who bet 8,000. The big blind then moved all in for 8,800 and Jones and the cutoff called.

Both players checked the 6♥ turn before Jones bet 30,000 on the 8♠ river. The cutoff quickly folded.

"Ah," Jones said as he slammed down 7♦7♥ for quads. Jones, last year's runner-up, took the pot to send the big blind to the rail.

Victor Bershinsky raised to 2,500 under the gun before Tanupat Punjarojanakul three-bet to 7,000 in early position. A player in the hijack moved all in for 10,000 and Bershinsky reshoved for around 50,000.

"I have to hope you both have ace-king," Punjarojanakul said as he tanked for a minute before folding two jacks.

All-In Player: 6♥6♦ All in
Victor Bershinsky: A♣A♥

Punjarojanakul found out he made a good fold as Bershinsky showed down a pair of aces. The board read K♥3♦Q♣5♠ by the turn, but the river J♣ would've given Punjarojanakul a set and a double knockout.

"I'm happy with the fold regardless," he said as Bershinsky took the pot to send the hijack to the rail.

"I only waited four hours for something like that," Bershinsky added.

Brent Hart was in middle position and three-bet to 7,500. Ghattas Kortas then four-bet to 22,000 under the gun and Hart called.

The flop came 5♥6♦8♦ and Kortas bet 12,000. Hart called to the J♠ turn, where Kortas bet 35,000 leaving himself just one chip behind. Hart moved all in and Kortas put in his last chip.

Hart turned over J♣J♦ for a turned set and Kortas slammed down A♠A♦. The river was the Q♦ and Hart secured the pot to send Kortas to the rail.

"What can I do? Some people are just luckier than others," Kortas said.

"If you shove the flop I fold," Hart, who won his first WSOP bracelet earlier this summer, replied.
