Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
When action folded to Phil Ivey on the button, he raised his option to 11,000. However, he faced instant resistance, as Dong Chen made it 40,000 from the small blind. The big blind got out of the way, and Ivey made the smooth call.
The draw heavy flop of 10♠8♣6♣ elicited a continuation-bet of 30,000 from Chen. Ivey shoved for 92,000 and Chen didn’t hesitate in getting his chips in, and as the cards were tabled it seemed as if the dealer had orchestrated this hand to be played out in this exact way.
Phil Ivey A♣Q♣ 
Dong Chen A♠10♥
Ivey would need to hit his nut flush draw, or a pair of queens if he was going to survive in the tournament, however he received no help as the board ran out J♥4♥ and his search for a cash in this World Series would last yet another day.
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
The pot preflop had reached a mighty 165,000, and the dealer put out a low board, consisting of 7♣2♦5♥.
Both Qiang Xu and Andrew Lichtenberger liked their hands, as Lichtenberger first to act bet 40,000, and Xu raised to 110,000. Undeterred, Lichtenberger put Xu all in for 260,000 effective.
Xu was clearly unhappy with the spot he was in, and took a long time to come to his decision. Eventually, he tabled Q♥Q♣ face up, awarding the pot to Lichtenberger, who stormed into the chip lead.
Level 13
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
In a heads-up pot on a board of 9♥2♦J♥J♠, Julian Pineda Lozano moved all in and Kharlin Sued went deep into the tank as he considered calling off for his remaining 98,000.
Someone eventually called the clock and Sued put in a call.
Kharlin Sued: A♣K♣
Julian Pineda Lozano: K♥K♠
Sued had just ace-high and was drawing to three outs with one card to come. He got it as the dealer put down the A♥ river to put a tough beat on Lozano for a double.
Level 13
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Action folded to Justin Saliba in middle position, who open shoved his 54,000 remaining chips. Kristen Foxen was the only player to look him up, as she reshoved from the button.
Justin Saliba A♣7♦
Kristen Foxen A♠J♠
Saliba didn’t manage to suck out, and the 3♠Q♥8♦A♥6♠ community cards sent him to the rail.

Level 12
: 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Jesse Lonis reentered the event before registration closed. In this hand, he raised to 9,000 from the cutoff. Eran Aydin was the only caller from the big blind.
The flop came K♠5♥4♦ and Aydin checked. Lonis bet 7,000 and Aydin called.
The two players checked on the 9♥ turn and then the 4♠ came on the river. Aydin moved all in, putting Lonis' effective stack in the middle. Lonis instantly called.
Lonis tabled the A♠4♣. Aydin was supposed to table his hand, but he threw his cards into the muck. This drew the ire of some of his tablemates, as the rules state that he was obligated to show his cards. The players tried to retrieve the hand, and when the 5♦ was exposed, Aydin claimed that was one of his cards.
Level 12
: 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
First to act Andrew Lichtenberger opened to 8,000, and action folded round to Barak Wisbrod in the big blind, who decided he was getting the pot odds to call despite only having 10,000 behind.
On a monotone flop of 5♥2♥7♥, Wisbrod checked and Lichtenberger put in exactly 6,000 chips, forcing Wisbrod to go all in or fold. He tanked for a while, laughed at the irony of the situation, and decided that, despite getting almost 6-to-1 odds, this time he decided they weren’t enough for him to call.
The very next hand, Qiang Xu raised to 10,000 from the cutoff, and Wisbrod added his final 4,000 to his small blind, as Lichtenberger defended in the big blind.
At the river, Wisbrod’s A♥4♦ had made a pair of aces, which was good enough to take down the 22,000 main pot, just keeping his hopes of a deeper run alive. Lichtenberger had a pair of sevens, and his Q♠7♠ allowed him to take in the remaining 8,000.
Level 12
: 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Justin Saliba opened to 8,000 under the gun, Alex Foxen reraised from middle position to 19,000.
The board came 6♠5♣6♦ and Saliba checked. Foxen continued for 9,000. Saliba made the call.
The turn was the 3♦ and both players checked. Then on the A♠ river, Saliba thought for a while before checking. Foxen moved all in, and Saliba folded.
When folding, Saliba threw his cards towards Foxen's. Foxen mixed together all four cards and turned one over. The first card he revealed was the J♣, and the second was the A♥.
"You folded Ace Jack?", he asked Saliba. Saliba confirmed that he did, and Foxen won this pot.
Level 12
: 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Ren Lin opened to 8,000 in the cutoff and Josh Arieh called on the button before Mustapha Kanit three-bet jammed a stack of 56,000 from the big blind. Lin slapped his own hand and folded and Arieh entered the tank before calling with a bigger stack.
Mustapha Kanit: A♣Q♣
Josh Arieh: Q♠10♠
Kanit had his opponent dominated and the board ran out Q♥K♣4♣4♥9♣ to improve the Italian to the nut flush for a double up.
