Dan O'Hair

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Phil Hellmuth raised to 6,000 from the hijack and was called by Santiago Montes in the big blind.

Both players checked on the K♦10♠K♣ flop and then Hellmuth called a 4,000 bet from Montes on the 3♣ turn.

The Q♠ completed the board and Montes checked to Hellmuth, who announced a bet of 14,000.

Montes went deep into the tank and then flashed Ax10x before sending his hand into the muck.

"Show me the bluff," Montes told Hellmuth.

Hellmuth tabled A♣J♣ for Broadway.

"I bet too much!" Hellmuth lamented. "Eight thousand..."

Nikzad bet another 19,000 on the 5♣ river and Lazar snap-called with K♥K♦. Nikzad mucked 7♠7♣ and Lazar, who is celebrating the 20th anniversary of his Main Event final table run, took the pot.

Stephen Klaamas raised to 4,000 and Arman Bezhanyan called next to him. Martin Gerloff three-bet to 14,000 on the button and it was called by Giovanni Zanette in the big blind and Bezhanya.

The trio saw a flop 6♦2♦6♠ and Zanette checked to Bezhanya who bet 12,000. Gerloff raised it to 85,000 and it folded to Bezhanya who tanked and eventually folded.

Gerloff tabled A♠A♦ before grabbing the pot.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Andrew Tran was all in and at risk for a short stack against one of the large stacks in the field as he was looked up by Sam Rayburn.

Andrew Tran: K♦K♣ All in
Sam Rayburn: A♦7♠

The 8♠5♥4♦6♥ turn sent Tran on the verge of elimination but he chopped thanks to the 7♥ on the river. Prior to that card, Rayburn had called for the seven to chop and another player told him "you didn't mean it?!" Rayburn, however, nodded while Tran had a deep sigh.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Ugganbayar Erdenekhuu in early position and Marte Sandberg on the button had arrived on a turn of 2♥9♦3♦K♦, which they both checked. The J♦ river prompted Erdenekhuu to bet 16,000 into the pot of 45,000.

Sandberg quickly called, and she won the pot without showdown when Erdenekhuu refused to reveal his holding, forfeiting the pot instead.

Vanessa Selbst opened to 4,500 in the hijack and Marc Mills called in the cutoff. In the small blind Adedapo Ajayi three-bet to 16,000 which both Selbst and Mills called.

Ajayi checked over to Selbst on the flop of J♥10♣7♠ and Selbst bet 15,000 to see only Ajayi call.

On the turn 8♥, Ajayi checked a second time over to Selbst who thought for a little bit before deciding to jam for 119,000. Ajayi wasted little time in folding and ceded the pot to the WSOP bracelet winner.
