Zhao Spikes the River to Double

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Jiaming Zhao
Jiaming Zhao

Jiaming Zhao, who once famously entered a €5,200 Eight Game Mix tournament at EPT Barcelona and almost cashed despite not knowing any of the games, looking up the rules on his phone between hands and receiving tips via Google Translate, opened to 2,000 from early position.

He was called by Bruce Carter in middle position before Craig Tobin made it 6,000 to go on his left. Gerard Cassis cold-called on the button, and the others came along as well.

Four ways to the 10♦9♠8♣ flop, it checked to Tobin who bet 10,000. Cassis folded after a long tank before Zhao moved all-in for 41,000. Carter quickly folded before Tobin snapped it off as the covering stack to put Zhao at risk.

Jiaming Zhao: J♥9♥ All in
Craig Tobin: A♠A♦

Zhao held middle pair and an open-ender against the overpair of Tobin. Nothing changed on the K♠ turn before the J♣ river gave Zhao two pair, and he collected the full double in a massive pot.

The last level of late registration has come to an end and the remaining 3,595 players are going on another 20-minute break. Players hoping to register still must be seated and checked in when the cards go back in the air. Over 750 players have registered on Day 2d thus far and that number will be confirmed once the registration period closes. Here is a look at what happened in the last level:

James Minghini raised to 2,500 in early position. Keith Carter called in middle position, as did poker vlogger Brad Owen on the button. Joshua Mccully defended his big blind, and he led out for 2,800 on the 6♥2♦4♥ flop.

Minghini tossed in a call, after which Carter folded. Owen also came along to the 10♣ turn, which was checked to him. Owen fired a bet of 14,000, which only Mccully called.

Owen sized up to 30,000 on the A♣ river.

"Oh, Bradley," Mccully sighed as he went deep into the tank. After a couple of minutes, he called off. Owen revealed 6♦6♣ for a set of sixes, and Mccully quickly added his cards to the muck.

Heitor Saraiva raised to 2,500 in late position and Jonathan Tamayo called on the button which saw Bryan Buonocore call in the big blind.

Action checked through on the 10♠4♠4♣ flop to the J♠ turn where Buonocore bet 2,400 and Saraiva folded. Tamayo responded by raising to 7,500 and Buonocore called.

Buonocore checked the 6♦ river over to Tamayo who moved all in for 16,800 effective. After some thought he tossed his cards into the muck, ceding the pot to the defending WSOP Main Event champion.

Action picked up on the turn with a little over 8,000 in the middle in a hand between Andre Cabrini from the small blind and Linglin Zeng from the big blind.

With the board reading A♦9♣7♠Q♥, Cabrini led for 5,000 before Zeng min-raised to 10,000. Cabrini then shoved for his remaining 22,500 and Zeng snapped it off.

Andre Cabrini: 9♦7♦ All in
Linglin Zeng: 9♠9♥

It was a brutal cooler with Cabrini flopping two pair, only to be drawing dead against Zeng's set of nines. The two saw the irrelevant 5♥ on the river as Cabrini left the room in unfortunate fashion.

Vanessa Kade made it 2,400 from the cutoff and only Antonios Onoufriou called from the big blind.

Onoufriou check-called a bet of 1,200 from Kade on the 10♥9♥6♥ flop.

The turn came the Q♣ and Onoufriou check-called another bet from Kade, this time for 7,000.

Both players checked the 6♦ river and Onoufriou flipped over Q♦9♦ for two pair, queens and nines. Kade mucked, allowing Onoufriou to pull in the pot.

In a three-bet pot worth 25,300, Spyridon Apartoglou bet 8,000 from the small blind on the 5♣4♣Q♦ flop. Martin Sturc called in early position, and did so too when Apartoglou sized up to 21,000 on the 8♦ turn.

The 10♠ river saw Apartoglou pile in a bet of 48,000. Sturc spent some time in the tank before he decided to call off. Apartoglou tabled A♦A♣ for the preflop nuts, and Sturc sent his cards into the muck.

Pocket Deuces Triple Up as Ace-Kings Clash

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Loni Hui opened the action under the gun with A♠K♥, and Ethan Eramian flatted in middle position holding the same hand, A♣K♠. Zhannan Ge then looked down at 2♠2♥ in the cutoff and shoved his last 14,700 into the middle.

Back on Hui, she sized up Eramian’s stack and four-bet to 63,800. Eramian snap-called, setting up a three-way showdown.

The board ran out 8♣8♦6♥5♥3♥, missing both ace-kings entirely and allowing Ge's pocket deuces to hold for a full triple-up. Hui and Eramian, both holding top-tier starting hands, had to settle for chopping the side pot.

Action was picked up on a flop in a pot between Osmin Dardon in late position and Sean Winter in the cutoff.

The flop read 10♣6♣2♣ and Dardon checked over to Winter who bet 7,500 and Dardon called.

On the turn J♥, Dardon checked over to Winter who bet 17,000 and Dardon called.

"I have a pair," said Dardon after both players checked the 8♦ river. Neither one of them turned over their hands immediately.

"I believe you," said Winter as he waited for Dardon to turn over his hand. Dardon showed 4♥4♠ for a pair of fours, but it was second best against Winter's 9♠8♠ for a pair of eights.

"You rivered me?" asked Dardon as he stared at the board, while Winter raked in the pot.

Jose Arredondomeza raised to 4,400 from middle position and only Thomas Quaade called from the big blind.

Heads-up to the A♣2♠5♣ flop, where Quaade knuckled the action over to Arredondomeza, who bet 7,000. Quaade called.

The 10♥ turn went check-check for the K♠ to appear on the river. Quaade checked for the last time and Arredondomeza fired out 12,000 into the middle. Quaade went into the tank for quite some time before asking Arredondomeza, "You show if I fold?" Arredondomeza didn't respond and after a few more moments, Quaade reluctantly folded.

Arredondomeza turned over the A♦ for top pair as he stacked his newly found chips.
