Level 1

Blinds: 100-200

Sean Yu, who finished fifth in this event for $30,800 last year, was involved in a pot against Charles Mast in the blinds. Mast drew three and Yu drew two on the first draw.

Mast check-called a bet from Yu and drew two, while Yu drew one. Another check-call followed and both players took one before the final draw.

Mast bet, Yu raised, and Mast wasted no time in calling it off. Yu flashed 3x3x, followed by 8x6x2x, and Mast calmly rolled over Jx6x4x3x2x to take the pot.

One of England's best mixed games specialists, Adam Owen, has taken his seat in the 2-7 Triple after just busting the Millionaire Maker in 206th place ($10,200). Owen quickly got himself involved in two hands.

In the first hand, Owen took initiative by three-betting. On the second draw, his opponent Shaneal Singh stood pat while Owen drew two. Singh bet and Owen quickly flung his cards in the muck.

He got the chips back and more in the next hand against Yuya Murata. Both players patted before the final draw, and Owen got value with his 7x6x5x3x2x.
