The WSOP has moved the final 3 tables to the streamed featured tables area, which means our live reporting will have to be delayed by around 2.5 hours to match the Live Stream, per the WSOP media guidelines. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Joao Simao raised to 175,000 from the hijack. Richard Gryko in the cutoff three-bet to 445,000 with only 5,000 behind and Simao went deep into the tank before making the call.
The K♠9♥8♠ flop and the A♦ turn were checked by both players. The 3♣ landed on the river and after Simao checked, Gryko moved all-in.
Even if he only had to add 5,000 to call, Simao seemed to have no choice but to fold Q♣9♣7♣6♣ face up. Gryko had A♥A♣10♦6♠ and almost doubled up.
Yuri Dzivielevski raised to 175,000 from middle position, Jason Koon three-bet to 600,000 from the cutoff and Joao Simao four-bet to 2,050,000 on the button, Dzivielevski folded but Koon made the call.

Venkat Chivukula on the button limped and called after Youness Barakat in the small blind raised to 160,000.
Barakat continued for 400,000 on the 7♣10♦2♦ and was called, then fired a second barrel on the 9♥ turn. Chivukula, whose remaining 305,000 chips were covered by Barakat’s bet, spent more than two minutes in the tank before eventually making the call.
Venkat Chivukula: Q♦J♥10♥3♦
Youness Barakat: Q♠Q♣8♦7♥
The 5♦ river gave Chivukula a flush, allowing him to win the coin flip and double up.
Joao Simao raised to 140,000 in middle position, Jeremy Ausmus three-bet to 375,000 from the big blind and Simao called.
Both players checked to showdown on the 4♣8♥K♦8♠3♥ board.
Simao tabled 10♥10♦6♠6♦, but could not beat Ausmus's A♠A♦10♠5♥, and he doubled on the bubble.

The dealer fanned a flop of K♠5♣3♠ which was checked by both players. They both checked the 8♥ turn as well but Barakat potted to 460,000 on the 9♦ river. It only took a few seconds for Cowen to fold.
The action was picked up on a board of 10♠3♥A♠A♣7♥ with already 1,100,000 in the pot.
Daniel Negreanu in the small blind with A♦6♠3♦3♣ checked and Sean Winter in the cutoff bet 675,000 with A♥10♦7♣5♥.
Negreanu with a full house went deep into the tank and called, only to run into Winter's better full house.

Yuri Dzivielevski: 8♥5♠4♣3♠
The board ran out 2♣ on the turn and the 10♠ on the river to give Koon a double-up.
Venkat Chivukula in the small blind limped so Youness Barakat in the big blind checked his option to discover a flop of 5♠8♠6♣ which was checked by both players.
After Chivukula checked the K♣ turn, Barakat bet 120,000. Chivukula raised to 480,000, Barakat three-bet to 575,000 and Chivukula called with the 95,000 he had behind.
