2-7 Triple Draw

Gary Bolden raised from the cutoff, Timothy Frazin three-bet from the button, and Bolden called.

Both drew two as Bolden checked to Frazin who bet. Bolden was holding calling chips in his hand, but after a long look at his cards he tossed out a raise, and Frazin called.

On the second draw, Bolden stood pat while Frazin needed one and called another bet.

Frazin still drew one on the end as Bolden fired a final bet, which Frazin quickly called. Bolden rolled over 7x5x4x3x2x for the wheel, awarding him the pot.

"Drawing dead and got there," Frazin lamented and Bolden stacked more chips.

Wattel bet the river 5♦ and Yockey called once more.

"Just the low," said Wattel.

"Oh that's not good," replied Yockey. "What's your high?"

At showdown, Wattel tabled A♠K♣J♦2♣ for ace-king high and the nut low. Yockey shook his head and tossed his cards away, ceding the pot to Wattel.

Will Givens bagged a big stack on Day 5 in the WSOP Main Event, but he was mysteriously absent when play resumed Saturday morning.

It was a bit strange to see an empty chair this deep in the biggest tournament in the world, where the remaining players were playing for potentially millions of dollars. But Givens, a Will Kassouf of sorts at the poker table, had something better to do than arrive on time, he told PokerNews. Apparently, he can't crush it on the felt without the proper nutrition. More specifically, avocado toast.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Brandon Shack-Harris raised from the hijack, Allen Kessler three-bet from the cutoff, and Shack-Harris called.

On the 8♠8♥6♦ flop, Shack-Harris check-called a bet from Kessler.

Shack-Harris checked again on the 4♠ turn, Kessler bet all in for his final 19,000, and Shack-Harris reluctantly called after a small tank.

"I pretty much have the nuts," Kessler announced as the hands were tabled.

Allen Kessler: A♠A♦9♦3♣ All in
Brandon Shack-Harris: A♥K♦Q♥7♥

Kessler had the made second nut low against ace-high and seven low of Shack-Harris. Kessler needed to fade just a three to scoop, which he was able to do on the J♠ river to double.

On the second draw, Bosman and Richey drew one while Kamal remained pat. The betting action repeated identically.

The third draw saw both Bosman and Richey draw one a third time while Kamal stood pat and Bosman put his backpack on before seeing Kamal bet and Richey fold.

Hans Bosman: 7x6x4x2x Xx All in
Navin Kamal: 8x7x6x5x3x

Kamal's eight was leading against Bosman's seven-draw and it remained ahead as Bosman peeled a 10x to be left with just a ten.

Omar Mehmood completed and Kristan Lord called.

Omar Mehmood: XxXx / A♠10♠8♥9♣ / Xx
Kristan Lord: XxXx / J♣4♥6♣6♥ / Xx

Fourth street would check through before Mehmood led on fifth, getting a call.

Lord led on sixth after making open sixes, but Mehmood responded with a raise, which Lord called.

It checked to Mehmood on seventh who bet. Lord then check-raised, and Mehmood quickly called. However, he got the bad news as Lord revealed Q♣10♣7♣ in the hole for a queen-high flush, and it was good for the scoop as Mehmood mucked.

Stud Hi-Lo

After surviving an all-in on the stone bubble, Jake Schwartz got the last of his chips into the middle after Bryce Yockey completed, and Mike Wattel came along from the bring-in.

Jake Schwartz: 5♠5♥ / 9♠Q♠A♣6♥ / Xx All in
Bryce Yockey: A♥9♦ / K♥K♦3♦Q♣ / Xx
Mike Wattel: XxXx / 2♣2♦ - folded on fourth street

Yockey led on fourth into the dry side with open kings, and Wattel made a painful fold after some deliberation.

Going into seventh, Yockey remained in the lead with kings against the fives of Schwartz. Yockey flipped over the 7♦ for no improvement. Schwartz peeled his final card baccarat-style, and with a three-across he had a chance to pair his six to make two pair, but it was the 7♠ and he was eliminated.

"Dinner is on you now for sure," Schwartz joked with Yockey on his way out.
