At one very tough table in Amazon, three-time bracelet winner Barry Greenstein is in Seat 6, followed by 2015 WSOP Main Event champion Joe McKeehen in Seat 7, and bracelet winner Ryan Laplante in Seat 10.

These three players represent a combined total of 145 WSOP cashes for a combined total of over $13 million in earnings in the WSOP alone.

John Deng Closing in on 100,000 Chips

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

After starting the day with 7,500 chips, John Deng is already closing in on the 100,000-chip mark as the dinner break approaches.

As he was adding to his stack, he told his tablemates, "It's bagged up already... Bagged up. Put it in your minds. I'm not going anywhere."

Melanie Weisner Eliminated by Thomas Moriguchi

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Liv Boree & Melanie Weisner
Liv Boree & Melanie Weisner

Action folded to the blinds and Thomas Moriguchi went all in from the small blind. Melanie Weisner had just over 4,000 chips left in the big blind and called. She was at risk.

Moriguchi: {J-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Weisner: {3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}

The board came {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{8-Spades}, giving Moriguchi an open-ended straight draw. The {K-Diamonds} turn changed nothing, but the {Q-Diamonds} river completed Moriguchi's straight, and Weisner was eliminated.

Liv Boeree
Liv Boeree

The player under the gun moved all in for 4,550 and Liv Boeree called in the big blind to put him at risk.

Boeree: {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
All-in player: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}

Boeree was behind but the {J-Spades}{9-Hearts}{7-Hearts} gave Boeree a pair of jacks with the flush draw to take the lead. The {8-Clubs} turn and the {5-Spades} river changed nothing and Boeree knocked out her opponent.

Boeree, who won her first WSOP bracelet in the $10,000 Tag Team Event this series, is now close to double the starting stack.

Aaron Johnson Building

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

The turn was the {3-Clubs} and Johnson put together a bet of 2,300. His opponent folded and Johnson took down the pot, putting him up around 40,000 chips.
