Yokosawa Takes a Little from Carselowey

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Masato Yokosawa
Masato Yokosawa

Philip Carselowey raised to 1,200 from the cutoff, and only Masato Yokosawa, on the button, called.

Carselowey continued for 1,500 on the A103 flop, and Yokosawa proceeded with a call.

The flush-completing J hit the turn, and when Carselowey chose to check, Yokosawa took over the betting lead, throwing out 3,200.

Carselowey wasted little time in folding, and the dealer pushed the pot to Yokosawa.

Haoran Hu raised to 1,000 from under the gun and Joshua Kay called in the hijack. Joe Cada raised to 4,000 on the button and only Kay continued.

The flop rolled out 642 and Kay checked over to Cada who continued betting for 3,500, prompting Kay to move all in for 18,400 effective. Cada called to put his tournament life at risk.

Joe Cada: JJ All in
Joshua Kay: AA

An A on the turn locked up the pot for Kay before the river 8 peeled off and the 2009 WSOP Main Event champion took his leave from the tournament.

Jaka's Main Event Ends Holding Seven-Deuce Off

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Faraz Jaka
Faraz Jaka

Benjamin Gold raised to 1,200 on the button and called a three-bet of 5,500 from Faraz Jaka, who was in the big blind.

Gold then called a 3,500 bet from Jaka on the Q32 flop and a 14,000 bet from Jaka on the K turn.

The 2 completed the board and Jaka fired 30,000 into the middle. Gold then stuck a pile of t-25,000 chips into the middle, which was enough to put Jaka all in for his last 35,000 behind.

Jaka went deep into the tank and a couple of minutes went by without any action.

"Sorry guys, give me one more minute," Jaka said.

Jaka eventually committed his stack into the middle and Gold showed QQ for a full house.

Jaka showed he held 72 for trip deuces and wished his tablemates good luck before exiting the tournament area.

Kevin Gerhart: QQ All in
Ali Rabah: 22

The WSOP bracelet winner found the double-up with nines full of queens to survive after what he described as his table was a "swingy day."

Both the initial raiser and the three-bettor folded, and Mateos added some crucial chips to his stack.

Kazuhiko Yotsushika raised to 1,200 from early position and was called by Ian Matakis in middle position and David Cabrera Polop on the button.

Action checked through on the 510J flop and then Yotsushika led out for 3,300 on the 3 turn. Matakis raised to 10,300, which got a fold from Polop and a call from Yotsushika.

The 10 paired the board on the river and Yotsushika stuck a green T-25,000 chip into the middle. Matakis called all in for a bit over 10,000 and Yotsushika could only show 98 for a busted straight draw.

Matakis revealed 55 for a full house and was awarded the double-up.
