Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

With around 11,000 already in the middle on a board of 9♦4♣3♥2♦, Jason Cooper checked from the cutoff, and Vinicius Escossi bet roughly 9,000 from the button. Cooper quickly check-raised to 30,000, causing Escossi to go into the tank. After pondering for quite some time, Escossi jammed for 52,000, and Cooper instantly called.

Vinicius Escossi: K♥K♦ All in
Jason Cooper: 9♣9♥

Escossi had an overpair with pocket kings, but was behind to Cooper's flopped set of nines.

Escossi was already out of his seat and heading for the exit as the A♠ rolled off on the river, cementing his elimination from the Main Event.

With almost 20,000 in the pot already preflop, Towa Shibata checked first from early position on a flop of 5♣A♠5♠. Shibata's opponent in the hand was Wendeen Eolis, who was the first woman to cash in the WSOP Main Event back in 1986. Eolis opted to fire out a bet of 12,000, and Shibata responded by instantly folding.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Zane Desilva called in late position, while Clayton Quint in the hijack raised to 1,500. Samuel Bauchert raised to 6,300 in the cutoff and Desilva called, while Quint raised to 18,400. Both Bauchert and Desilva called.

The flop rolled out 6♣7♥Q♥ and Desilva jammed all in for 14,400 which prompted Quint to jam all in for more. Bauchert shook his head and flashed K♥K♣ as he tossed into the muck.

Zane Desilva: 7♦7♣ All in
Clayton Quint: A♦A♣

Desilva had flopped a set of sevens that further improved to sevens full on the runout of 6♦5♠ and he secured a massive pot at the expense of Quint and Bauchert.

Zane Desilva	84,800

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Action was picked up on the turn in a pot betwen Brendan Shiller in the big blind and Taylor Wilson in the cutoff with 7,800 in the middle.

The board read 2♥J♥J♣6♣ and Shiller bet 4,200 to see Wilson call.

On the river 4♦, Shiller bet 5,900 and Wilson opted to raise to 15,500. Shiller wasted little time in calling the bet.

"Good call," said Wilson and Shiller tabled Q♦Q♥ for queens up which was good for Shiller to take down the pot.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Daniel Tafur made it 800 to go from under the gun with Paul Newey calling from the hijack, and Robert Tencza defending his big blind.

Tencza checked the 8♠Q♦K♥ flop, and Tafur put out a continuation-bet of 1,500. Newey called, but Tencza folded.

Heads-up now to the 5♦ turn, where Tafur fired again, this time for 2,000. Once again, Newey called.

The A♣ river prompted Tafur to slow down and check. Newey fired 5,800, which was enough to get a fold from Tafur.

Paul Newey	66,000 1,600	1,600

Lindgren Building a Stack

Stewart Morrison

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Erick Lindgren raised in early position to 700, and only Richard Spencer called, defending his big blind.

Spencer checked in flow on the 9♣9♠6♠ flop, calling Lindgren's continuation-bet of 700.

There was no slowing down from Lindgren on the 7♦ turn, upping the ante with a wager of 2,000. Again, Spencer called.

The dealer flipped the river 8♣ and Spencer checked for a third time. Lindgren still wasn't content with the size of the pot, placing a more substantial bet of 8,000. Spencer wasn't as quick with his decision on this street, but did end up flicking in a chip to signify a call.

It was bad news for Spencer, though, as Lindgren rolled over 6♥6♦ for a flopped full house. Spencer mucked his cards face down, and the dealer pushed the pot in the direction of Lindgren.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

With two players seeing a final board of J♦Q♣10♦8♥4♥ and around 20,000 in the middle, Thi Ngo checked from the hijack and Wenbin Chen shoved from the cutoff, covering Ngo who had 24,300 behind. Ngo called.

Chen could only show K♠10♠ for a pair of tens, missed straight draw and blocker to the nut straight. Ngo turned over the second-nut straight with K♦9♦ to secure a full double up through Chen.
