Fleishman Didn't Hear No Bell

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Tyler Fleishman raised under the gun to 2,100, and the player directly to his left called. Action then folded around to Marco Poccia, in the big blind, who put in a three-bet squeeze to 7,500.

Flieshman went back and forth between his options, but ultimately decided now was his time and moved all in for 14,100. The original caller folded, and Poccia snap-called.

Tyler Fleishman: K♣Q♠ All in
Marco Poccia: A♠A♥

Fleishman was in the unenviable position of being at risk and a long way behind.

The flop did offer some hope, though, coming 6♥10♥9♣, giving him an inside straight draw.

There was no help for him on the 5♦ turn, but the J♣ river saw him hit his straight, keeping him alive in this year's Main Event.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

There were roughly 30,000 chips in the pot on a board of 10♣9♣A♥5♣. Harth put Bricker all in on the turn for 20,800, and Bricker snap-called.

Chase Bricker: A♣K♣ All in
John Harth: 10♠10♦

Harth with a set but still needed the board to pair to win. Unfortunately, he could not find it as the 2♥ was dealt on the river and Bricker's flush held to give him the double.

With two players seeing a board of 4♥5♠3♥Q♦J♥ and around 15,000 in the middle Hugh Joiner bet 12,500 from early position and Timo Kamphues called from the hijack.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Jonathan Little opened to 1,400 from the hijack and was called by Richard Thousand in the big blind for a heads-up pot.

Thousand check-called a 1,300 bet from Little on the 2♣4♣6♣ flop and then both players checked on the 4♥ turn.

The A♣ brought four cards to a flush on the river and Little check-folded facing a 2,000 bet from Thousand.

Little, who recently won his first WSOP bracelet, has been unable to catch any momentum today and currently sits with 20,500.

Kraft Ends Clicking War

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Thomas Zanot started the action by raising to 1,400 before Florian Kraft, one seat to his left, contemplated what to do.

"How much?" Zanot asked, implying that Kraft was considering a raise. Without uttering a word, Kraft did raise, making it 4,000 to play.

Action folded back to Zanot, who wasn't done with the aggression, announcing a four-bet to 10,000. Kraft put an end to the fun, though, five-bet jamming, covering Kraft's stack.

Kraft immediately folded before saying, "I just can't help myself when they are suited.”
