Level 8

Ante: 200
Bring-In: 300
Completion: 1,000
Limits: 1,000-2,000

William Delsanto: XxXx/2♦6♥3♣Q♠/Xx
Zakary Ronis: XxXx/K♣J♠3♠ - folded on fifth street
Marcel Vonk: J♣7♣5♦/8♦10♠9♣Q♦

William Delsanto brought in, Zakary Ronis completed, and Marcel Vonk called. Delsanto threw in a calling chip as well, after which the action was checked to him on fourth street. He tossed in a bet, receiving two calls.

It checked to Delsanto again on fifth street. Faced with another bet, Ronis mucked his cards. Vonk stuck around and called, however, and both players checked sixth street.

Vonk then led out on seventh street. Delsato called with a pained expression on his face, and he mucked his cards once Vonk tabled his straight.

Vonk is a regular at the WSOP mixed games, and has already racked up five cashes this summer. His deepest run thus far run came in the $1,500 H.O.R.S.E., where he came in third for $91,545.

However, Vonk has his eyes set on becoming the first Dutch person with two live bracelets as he continues his WSOP grind.
