Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 45,000 ante

Greg Mueller raised to 75,000 from the cutoff and was called by Dan Smith in the small blind. Nick Schulman then announced a squeeze to 350,000 from the big blind and Mueller quickly moved all in for 1,055,000. Smith got out of the way and Schulman called to put Mueller at risk.

Schulman stood pat and Mueller drew one.

Greg Mueller: 8x5x4x2x All in
Nick Schulman: 9x7x6x4x3x

Elias then bet 150,000 and Eveslage called. Elias showed 9x6x5x3x2x and Eveslage mucked.

Oscar Johansson opened to 70,000 from the cutoff and Chad Eveslage three-bet to 530,000 from the small blind — leaving himself just 5,000 behind. Dan Smith verified the amount and called cold from the big blind. Johansson folded.

Both players drew one and Eveslage bet his last 5,000. Smith called and Eveslage tabled 7x6x5x4x2x.

Smith showed Jx7x5x4x2x and was forced to surrender a large chunk of his stack over to Eveslage.

Negreanu Three-Bets Eveslage; Yu Practices His Chip Tricks

Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 45,000 ante

Chad Eveslage raised to 60,000 in the cutoff and Daniel Negreanu three-bet to 275,000 in the small blind. Eveslage folded and Negreanu took the pot.

Ben Yu was practicing rolling a chip between his fingers and having it land perfectly on top of his stack, a favorite trick of Nick Schulman. His failed attempts drew a series of laughs from the table.

"What's your free throw percentage on landing it on a 20-stack?" Yu asked Schulman.

"At least 50. I'll hit like eight in a row but then go cold," Schulman replied.

Schulman was then in the small blind and called a raise of 65,000 from Darren Elias in the hijack. He stood pat and Elias took one. Both players checked and Schulman showed 10x9x7x3x2x, taking in more chips to play with.

"I'm trying for the first time. I'm like an eight-year-old trying layups. Of course it's going to be like this," Yu added as he kept at it.

Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 45,000 ante

One of the biggest coolers we'll see at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) took place in the biggest buy-in event so far this summer.

Aces versus kings is always a brutal set-up, but a set-over-set involving those two premium holdings is as painful as it gets. But that's exactly what happened near the money bubble on Day 2 of Event #32: $50,000 High Roller.

PokerNews' Calum Grant captured the hand between Ben Tollerene and Joey Weissman, which took place at the end of Level 13 with blinds of 15,000/30,000/30,000 and 34 players remaining with 26 spots paid.
