PLFCD & 2-7 NL: 3,000-5,000, 8,000 Ante

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Yanshing Tsang was all in against Benjamin Miner to his right. Tsang drew two and Miner stood pat.

Yanshing Tsang: 7x3x2x All in
Benjamin Miner: 10x8x7x5x2x

Tsang first turned over a 2x to be drawing dead after pairing his deuce. He then turned over the meaningless 9x before hitting the rail on the soft money bubble.

PLFCD & 2-7 NL: 3,000-5,000, 8,000 Ante
PLO - PLO 8 - Big O - PLTD: 2,000-4,000, 4,000 Ante
No-Limit Hold’em: 2,000-4,000, 6,000 Ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Woody Deck opened to 11,000 under the gun, and Matthew Beinner defended his big blind.

On the 10♥3♠5♣ flop, Beinner check-called a bet of 12,000 from Deck, bringing in the J♠ turn.

Here, Deck sized up when checked to, throwing out a near pot-sized bet of 40,000. Beinner thought for some time, before making a pained fold.

Level 15

PLFCD & 2-7 NL: 3,000-5,000, 8,000 Ante
PLO - PLO 8 - Big O - PLTD: 2,000-4,000, 4,000 Ante
No-Limit Hold’em: 2,000-4,000, 6,000 Ante

John Racener, a no-show who has not played a hand, is still alive in this event, but now down to 24,000 chips after starting with 118,500.

Racener has a good reason for the absence. He is one of the chip leaders in Event #63: $1,000 Mystery Millions, according to the WSOP LIVE app.

With 61 players remaining in this event, and 58 that will be in the money, there is a chance that Racener will be inside the bubble.

It's totally dependent on the pace of play at his table.

PLO - PLO 8 - Big O - PLTD: 2,000-4,000, 4,000 Ante
No-Limit Hold’em: 2,000-4,000, 6,000 Ante

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Jonathan Glendinning open-jammed for 56,000 from the cutoff and Sean Yu called in the small blind. Yu drew one and Glendinning stood pat.

Jonathan Glendinning: Jx10x9x6x2x All in
Sean Yu: 8x7x5x2x

Yu, needing to beat a jack, peeled his final card and announced that it was three-sided.

"Probably good for you," he said before turning over 6x to win the pot with an eight-seven to bust Glendinning.

After the hand, Lu told the table that he had the chips to gamble.
