Myles Phago

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Hot on the back of his recent win in the $600 No-Limit Hold'em/Pot-Limit Omaha, which earned him his second WSOP bracelet along with $178,126, Tyler Brown is going hard in this event, trying to build a stack.

He is currently on his second bullet and will more than likely take the full allocation of two reentries should they be needed to give himself the best shot at going deep in today's event.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

David Prociak, who last year finished third in this event and was seventh in the WSOP Player of the Year standings thanks to six cashes (plus six online), says his series is not going as planned thus far.

"It's been terrible," he said with a chuckle. "I'm down $40,000.

"But it's OK. It'll be all right.

Prociak, who has won three bracelets, has two cashes this year, finishing 52nd in Event #8: $1,500 Dealers Choice and 58th in Event 15: $1,500 Mixed PLO Hi-Lo 8/Omaha Hi Lo 8/Big O.

Hart Rivers Boat to Survive

John Avelino

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

With a pot of 4,200 in the middle and a flop of A♦7♦2♣, Brad Owen bet 8,000 and Robert Hart raised all in for his remaining 13,500 and Owen called from the button.

Robert Hart: A♣9♣8♥2♠ All in
Brad Owen: A♠Q♦5♠4♦

Hart was in the lead heading to the turn with two pair, and Owen holding the nut flush draw and a gut-shot straight draw looked to improve to eliminate Hart.

The turn brought a change in the lead with the 4♥ giving Owen two pair. Hart needed to fade a diamond, a deuce or a straight card to stay alive.

Fade he could not as the 2♥ gave Hart a full house to best his opponent's two pair and doubled through Owen.
