Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Play was already on going with a flop of K♣10♠3♦ and a pot of about 10,000 when Stanley Seelig fired 6,100 under the gun making Dylan Linde mull over the situation. After a few seconds, Linde called to see a turn.
The 8♠ turn fell and Seelig kept the pressure with another 11,100. With only 22,100 behind, Linde jammed all-in and Seelig with quite enough chips in front of him, made the call leading them to showdown.
Dylan Linde: K♦Q♠ 
Stanley Seelig: K♠J♣
Linde dominated Seelig with a queen kicker and the river 6♦ didn't help Seelig at all. Seelig could only shake his head as the chips were pushed towards Linde's direction.

Cole Uvila opened the action from the cutoff with a raise to 1,800, but Erwann Pecheux wasn’t backing down in the small blind. Sitting on his last 12,200, Pecheux moved all in. Uvila made the call, and the cards were on their backs.
Erwann Pecheux: 6♣6♦
Cole Uvila: K♣Q♣
Pecheux just needed his pocket sixes to hold to stay alive, and they did more than that. The board ran out 7♥4♥8♣6♠9♥, giving him trips and a much-needed double to keep his tournament hopes alive.

The Funaro brothers were both spotted playing in Event #29. Frank Funaro, who has amassed over $4 million in tournament earnings, held a stack slightly above 54,000. Nick Funaro may not have the same pedigree as Frank, but he’s no slouch. With over $650,000 in earnings, he currently sits on the bigger stack at 130,000. Both brothers have earned two WSOP Circuit rings. This summer, Nick will be looking to catch up to Frank in the bracelet department, as Frank already has two, while Nick is still searching for his first golden strap.

Edward Pak opened to 1,800 in middle position and both Julien Sitbon and Cesar Del Pino called. Anthony Scarborough on the button three-bet to 7,000 which got a four-bet of 21,000 from Pak. Sitbon smiled and shoved all-in for 17,000 making Del Pino fold. Scarborough announced, "I fold," still hanging on to his cards. The cards were tabled for a showdown.
Julien Sitbon: K♠K♥
Edward Pak: Q♣Q♠
Scarborough finally let go of his hand when the cards were shown stating that he had ace-king. The flop dropped A♦3♠K♣ giving Sitbon a set and a potential boost in his stack.
The Q♥ turn was flipped over but it still didn't beat Sitbon's set. The dealer completed the board with a J♠ with no consequence. Sitbon scooped the pot for a double up as Pak and Scarborough chatted of a what-if-he-called situation.

The action was picked up on the flop 2♥J♦4♣ with the pot at about 15,000. Mario Navarro Arrocha was in the small blind and moved all in for his last 16,000, and Daniel Lazrus made the call from the cutoff.
Mario Navarro Arrocha: A♦Q♥
Daniel Lazrus: A♥4♥
Lazrus held a pair plus a flush draw, and Arrocha needed some help with ace high. The turn 2♣ and the river 10♠ did not help Arrocha, and he was eliminated while Lazrus stacked his chips with his two pair.

Action was picked up with Valeriano Toledano Moreno all-in for about 23,000 and waiting for Nick Phoenix to act on a completed board of 2♥6♠8♥9♦2♦ and a pot of about 20,000. Phoenix was taking his time looking at the board seemingly deep in thought.
He finally threw a chip in for a call which prompted Moreno to stand up, flip over his hand and leave immediately. Moreno turned over J♦10♦ for a complete bluff. As Moreno was leaving Phoenix seemed perplexed as he tabled 5♥5♣ unsure if he won the pot.
With Moreno gone, even the dealer was slightly confused looking at both hands and the board making sure that she shipped the chips towards the right direction.
David Forbes, who was also at the table, declared, "You won, he already left," talking to Phoenix, then under his breath, "Hell of a call."
