Bonomo Rivers Trips; Wins a Sizable Pot

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Three players were still involved in a hand that had already progressed to the turn reading {2-Hearts}{3-Spades}{5-Spades}{7-Diamonds}. A player in the small blind led for 6,700 and Justin Bonomo to his left called. Sylvain Loosli folded from the cutoff, leaving the river card just to his two rivals.

The river was the {5-Diamonds} and Bonomo faced another barrel, worth 15,000. He easily called, having rivered trips with {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs} to beat his opponent's {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}.

Bonomo's day has been stellar so far. He's already ascended to 280,000 to sit firmly on a top-five chip stack.

Agarwal Overbets the River

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Aditya Agarwal is among the tournament chip leaders and he just laddered even closer to the pole position, which is believed to be currently occupied by either Matt Berkey or Justin Bonomo.

Agarwal's latest victory emerged when he defended his big blind over a 5,200 raise from the button, provided Joseph Di Rosa Rojas.

The {4-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} fell on the flop and Agarwal check-called another 5,000 before the {5-Diamonds} turn went check-check.

The {9-Clubs} on the river double-paired the board and Agarwal opted to lead big. He took some of his orange chips worth 5,000 apiece and then slid forward an overbet of 32,000. Rojas contemplated for a bit but he eventually wasn't willing to pay.

Toby Lewis Loses a Big One

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

We got to Toby Lewis' table to see the {4-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} flop.

Shivanraif Abdine (small blind), Mitchell Towner (under the gun) and Ryan Dodson (cutoff) all had checked to Lewis on the button. Lewis bet 12,000 and Abdine had a long think before raising to 42,000. Towner and Dodson both folded and Lewis called.

The turn was the {7-Diamonds}, and both Abdine and Lewis checked.

On the river the {5-Diamonds} came, and both players checked again. Abdine showed {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} for a flush and Lewis mucked.

Ausmus Is Scared To See It

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

With about 25,000 already in the pot and the flop showing {7-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{K-Hearts}, small blind Jeremy Ausmus checked to Neel Choksi in the big blind

Choksi bet out 9,000 and Ausmus didn't take too long before folding. "I'm scared to see it," said the 2012 WSOP Main Event fifth-place finisher for $2,155,313.

Choksi revealed one of his hole cards, the {2-Hearts}, earning "ooohs" from all players at the table including Ausmus.

We got to the table to see Kai Schuster, in the under the gun position, betting 5,200 on the {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades} flop. Terrence Chan, in mid-position, called.

The turn brought the {6-Hearts} on which they both checked.

The river completed the board with the {9-Diamonds}. Schuster check-called the 7,500 bet of Chan. Chan showed {J-Hearts}{J-Spades} but Schuster had the better pair in his hand with the {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}.
