Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Action was picked up on the first draw in a pot between Kazuhiro Shirasawa in the small blind and Daniel Negreanu on the button.

The first draw saw Negreanu draw three and Shirasawa drew two. Shirasawa checked over to Negreanu who bet 25,000 and Shirasawa raised all in for 125,000 and Negreanu called to put him at risk.

Shirasawa drew one and Negreanu stood pat on the second draw.

On the final draw, Shirasawa stood pat and Negreanu sat up in his chair. He took a drink from his water bottle as he looked at Shirasawa before deciding to pat behind.

Kazuhiro Shirasawa: 9x6x5x3x2x All in
Daniel Negreanu: 8x7x4x3x2x

Negreanu's eight-seven was good against Shirasawa's nine-six and he raked in a sizable pot eliminating Shirasawa from the tournament.

Jordan Griff: 5x4x3x2x All in
Jake Schwartz: 8x7x5x3x2x

Griff had just six outs to make the best hand as he sweat his final card. Three across was a welcome sight for Griff as he flipped over a 7x to make the wheel and secure the double.

No-Limit Hold'em

Robert Wells opened to 14,000 from under the gun and was called by Hye Park on the button and Jon Turner in the big blind.

On the 8♥6♣4♥ flop, the action checked to Park who bet 17,000. Turner quickly folded before Wells check-raised to 50,000, and Park called.

The turn brought the K♥ as Wells slowed down with a check. Park bet 65,000 and Wells called.

On the board-pairing 4♣ river, Wells checked again to Park who took some time before he elected to check back.

Robert Wells: Q♥Q♦
Hye Park: A♥J♥

Park made the nut flush on the turn as he dragged a sizeable pot off the recent bracelet winner Wells.

No-Limit Hold'em

Paul Holder raised to 25,000 in the small blind and Chad Eveslage three-bet jammed in the big blind. Holder called off with a stack of 161,000.

Paul Holder: A♦K♣ All in
Chad Eveslage: A♠Q♦

"Do you think you're going to win this one, Chad?" asked Shaun Deeb as the flop landed 4♣6♦2♠. "How about now?"

The board finished out 4♥8♣ to confirm a double for Holder as Eveslage was left with around 40,000.

Eveslage then guessed the regional dialect of the dealer with some accuracy, noting that her accent sounded just like his friend's in western Kentucky. She said she was from the neighboring Tennessee, just a few hours away.

Chad Eveslage moved all in for 64,000 from under the gun and in the small blind, Hiroyuki Noda moved called.

Chad Eveslage: A♠9♦ All in
Hiroyuki Noda: A♥J♣

"Chad do you ever get it in good?" tablemate Shaun Deeb asked.

The flop of 4♥8♣Q♠ changed nothing, but the turn 9♣ gave Eveslage a pair of nines which held up on the 6♣ river and the WSOP bracelet winner doubled up.
