Lisandro's Range is Top Set Only

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante
Jeff Lisandro
Jeff Lisandro

With the board reading {q-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and just over 20,000 in the pot, Chun Law led out from early position for 20,000 and was called by Dong Suh to his left. Jeff Lisandro was in the big blind and raised all in for 73,000. Law took a moment to think but folded his hand, while Suh took over three minutes before the clock was eventually called. With five seconds left, Suh finally shoved his remaining chips into the middle, which turned out to be the exact same amount as Lisandro.

Lisandro: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}
Suh: {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}

Lisandro was way out in front with top set and a flush draw, and Suh thought he was drawing dead. The {a-Diamonds} on the turn gave Suh some outs. but the {2-Spades} on the river gave Lisandro a full house and the pot.

"I thought your range was more than top set," said a disappointed Suh.

"It was until I went on a cooler. Now that's all I play," answered Lisandro, which got a laugh from everyone on the table.

Walton Doubles

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante
TJ Cloutier
TJ Cloutier

TJ Cloutier was in the small blind and raised to 12,000. Raymond Walton defended his big blind.

The flop was {8-Clubs}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs}, and Cloutier bet pot for 24,000. Walton moved all in for 46,500, and Cloutier called.

Walton: {q-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{j-Spades}{2-Spades}
Cloutier: {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{10-Spades}{3-Spades}

The turn was the {j-Hearts} and the river the {a-Clubs}, giving Cloutier a straight and Walton a flush. Walton got the much-needed double-up, and this is the first misstep for Cloutier since the last break. He went on a tear to get up to 300,000 at his peak and still sits with a healthy stack.

Waxman's Stack is Dangerously Growing

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante
Matt Waxman
Matt Waxman

Matt Waxman is looking for his second WSOP gold bracelet and his first since 2013. He came into Day 2 with an average stack and has continued to rake in pots and build his chip stack, all of which are dangerous for his opponents.

In a recent hand, the board read {10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{j-Hearts} with around 25,000 in the pot. Waxman was in the big blind and led out for 15,000. His opponent, sitting in the cutoff position, called, and the {9-Diamonds} fell on the river. Waxman moved all in, which was considered a pot-sized bet of 52,000. His opponent only had around 32,000 remaining and thought for a couple minutes before deciding to fold.

Waxman scooped another pot and is currently sitting on a healthy, above-average stack.

Ted Leva Knocks Out Dien Le

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante
Ted Leva
Ted Leva

During Level five of this tournament, Ted Leva was all in and lost a pot. He thought he was covered, as did the table, but after a careful recount while he was leaving, he found out he had a chip and a chair. A player had to run after him yelling so he could make it back for the next hand. A day later, he is still battling it out with the remaining 49 players.

Leva was in middle position and raised to 7,500. Dien Le was in the small blind and potted to 25,500. Leva called.

The flop was {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, and Le moved all in for roughly 19,000. Leva called.

Leva: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{3-Spades}
Le: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

The {5-Hearts} turn and {q-Clubs} river completed the board, and Leva made a full house to climb into six figures.

Aces vs. Kings

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

The action was folded to Thiago Grigoletti on the button, who raised to 6,000. The small blind called, and William Foster Jr. raised to 24,000 from the big blind. Grigoletti stuck out enough chips for a pot-sized reraise, and the small blind folded. Foster called all in for his remaining 66,500 chips, and the cards were on their backs.

Foster: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Grigoletti: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

The board ran out {q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{j-Clubs}{5-Hearts}, and Foster's pair of aces held up and earned him a double-up.
