David Salituro

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

Jeremy Surinach: K♠K♦ All in
Pavle Pecelj: 10♠10♦

Suriach was a big favorite to double his short stack with his kings, and the A♥9♠7♣3♦4♥ board kept him in the lead to secure him the pot.

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

Chad Holloway limped from middle position and called a raise of 12,000 from Roi Sabag in the small blind.

The flop came 10♥Q♣3♣ and Sabag continued for 35,000. Holloway thought a bit and then announced he was all in. Sabag snap-called for his entire 136,000 and hands were revealed.

Roi Sabag: A♦A♣ All in
Chad Holloway: K♥K♠

Holloway had been trapping with kings, but found himself in trouble against Sabag's aces.

The 10♣ turn nor 9♦ river changed anything and Sabag doubled through Holloway, who was left with just 12,000 following the clash.

Holloway was seen exiting the tournament area shortly after, having been eliminated.

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

Daemon Richardson limped from the small blind and Felipe Manzure checked the big blind, having just 26,000 behind.

Action was checked from the K♥9♠Q♠ flop to the Q♥ turn and 3♦ river.

Richardson showed A♠10♣ which was good enough for Manzure to muck, having lost the minimum from the big blind.

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

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.

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.

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.
