Level 6 : 400/800, 0 ante

Randy Ohel was on the button and facing a bet from the big blind after the second draw. He raised and stood pat after the big blind called and drew one. Ohel checked back on the end, and his opponent announced a wheel.

"You can never be too careful," Ohel said with a chuckle.

Mohammed Nuwwarah

Level 6 : 400/800, 0 ante

Justin Bonomo appeared to be the chip leader just a bit ago but has sunk under the 20,000-chip mark. He stemmed the tide by winning a pot recently that saw him and the big blind both take a card on the second draw, with the big blind check-calling a bet thereafter. She then took another card, and Bonomo patted. Both players checked the end, and the big blind announced a pair, prompting Bonomo to roll over .
