Frank Visser

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Daniel Echols under the gun and Chris Hunichen on the button had created a pot of 35,500 when they arrived on the 5♦9♣7♣4♦ turn.

Echols checked to Hunichen, who bet 14,000. After a small tank, Echols moved all in for 36,500.

"Do you have aces?" Hunichen sighed as he quickly called off.

Daniel Echols: A♥A♦ All in
Chris Hunichen: K♥K♣

Hunichen had guessed correctly, and Echols' rockets held on the 4♥ river to secure his double-up, leaving Hunichen with a stack of about 80 big blinds.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Action was picked up on the flop in a pot between David Abramowicz in first position and Wesley Cannon on the button with 2,800 in the middle.

The flop rolled out K♣9♥10♥ and Abramowicz check-called a bet of 2,500 from Cannon.

Abramowicz checked the turn J♣ over to Cannon who bet 4,000 and Abramowicz.

On the river A♦, Abramowicz checked a third time over to Cannon who bet 7,500 and Abramowicz called.

Cannon turned over Q♣J♥ for Broadway and Abramowicz mucked his hand, ceding his hand to the Midwestern poker legend and podcast host.

Tim Baker

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.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Four-way to a K♥10♦3♥9♥ turn, Tony Ghaffari bet 1,200 from the big blind. Katie Swift called in middle position before the other two players got out of the way.

The K♠ turn saw Ghaffari size up to 3,500. Swift made a swift call, but her Q♠J♥ for a straight was no good as Ghaffari tabled 3♠3♣ for a full house.

Tony Ghaffari	83,500

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Jeevan Nomula raised to 600 first to act and was called by Alec Torelli in the cutoff and Chong Fong on the button for a three-way pot.

Nomula continued for 800 on the 10♦5♣J♣ flop and Torelli called. Fong then announced a raise to 4,000, which got a fold from Nomula after a bit of thought and a quick fold from Torelli to send the pot his way.

Chong Fong	63,000 2,000	2,000
