It's All About the River!
Level 15
: 1,500/3,000, 0 ante
There's a famous saying that goes, "It ain't over 'til it's over," and in the game of PLO, that couldn't be any more true.
The flop read 
with 40,000 in the pot, and the action was complete, waiting for the turn card. That card was the 
, and suddenly, the pot got inflated. After a series of bets and raises, Ludovic Lacay was all in for 178,000 with 
against Shankar Pillai, who held 
.
Pillai was ahead with a set of aces, but Lacay was the one who looked more excited, with so much potential to make the best hand. The river brought the 
, and Lacay gave a fist pump as he hit the nut flush to scoop a monster pot.

Ted Leva Knocks Out Dien Le
Level 15
: 1,500/3,000, 0 ante
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 
, and Le moved all in for roughly 19,000. Leva called.
Leva: 
Le: 
The turn and river completed the board, and Leva made a full house to climb into six figures.

Waxman's Stack is Dangerously Growing
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 0 ante
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 
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 
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.
