Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Mark Nagal took his time in the big blind after Jeffrey Lies raised to 3,400 from early position. After some hesitation, Nagal made the call, taking both players to the flop.
The dealer spread 2♣9♣10♦, and both players checked. On the 8♥ turn, Nagal led out big, firing 20,000 into the pot. Lies, unfazed, made the call.
When the 10♥ hit the river, Nagal fired another 20,000. Lies called again without hesitation. Nagal tabled 8♣4♣, having caught a two pair with the board on the turn, but it wasn’t enough to beat Lies’ hand as he revealed 9♦7♦.
Visibly frustrated, Nagal slid his cards toward the dealer and quipped, “You didn’t deal me a club, dealer. What’s up with that?”

Adrian Angeles opened from under the gun to 2,500. Xiao Huang called next to act, Michael Solis followed from middle position, Sonny Sangjinda continued the trend from the cutoff, and Aaron Foust decided to close the action in the big blind.
Five ways to a flop of 8♥6♥6♣ and none of the players put a bet in.
On a 9♦ turn, Foust fired out 4,000, and Angeles was the only person to make the call.
A double board pairing 8♦ peeled off on the river, Foust checked called a bet of 6,000 from Angeles to be shown the bad news.
Adrian Angeles: 8♣8♠
Unfortunately for Angeles, no high hand bonus during WSOP events.

On a flop of 8♣J♣A♠, Takako Adams checked from the big blind, and Leandra Tanner checked from early position. Vincent Papania bet 2,400 from middle position, and Adams folded. Tanner called to see a turn.
Both players checked the A♥ turn to see the 10♥ hit the river. Tanner checked again and Papania was happy to check behind. Tanner showed 6♣6♦, but was second best to the J♦10♣ for a pair of jacks.
