Colman Over Jones

Level 6 : 300/600, 100 ante
Dan Colman
Dan Colman

A player in early position raised to 1,300, Dan Colman three-bet to 4,600 from the small blind, Aaron Jones four-bet to 12,000 from the big blind, the initial raiser folded, and Colman called.

They checked to the turn of a {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds} board where Colman bet 35,000. Jones folded, giving Colman the pot.

Day 1a Chip Leader Morten Mortensen Drops One, But Still Healthy

Level 6 : 300/600, 100 ante
Morten Mortensen
Morten Mortensen

One player opened to 1,500 from the cutoff before he was three-bet by Morten Mortensen from the button. Mortensen made it 4,200 and his opponent called.

The flop came {K-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{8-Spades} and Mortensen's opponent checked it over to him. Mortensen put out a repeat bet of 4,200 and the player made a pained face, then called.

The turn was the {5-Clubs} and both players checked to see the {8-Clubs} on the river. There, the cutoff player bet 6,000 and Mortensen thought for a bit, then called. The player showed {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} for a turned set and a rivered full house and that was good to get a muck from Mortensen.

Mortensen is still healthy despite losing that pot, supporting a chip stack well over 200,000.

Level 6 : 300/600, 100 ante
Joe Hachem (earlier in the series)
Joe Hachem (earlier in the series)

Danielle Andersen opened to 1,500 in early position and got calls from Carolyn Tulloch on the button and former Main Event champion Joe Hachem in the big blind. The flop came {J-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and Hachem and Andersen checked. Tulloch bet 2,500, Hachem called, and Andersen folded.

They were heads up to the {A-Diamonds} turn, and Hachem checked. Tulloch bet another 3,000 and Hachem called. The river was the {K-Spades} and Hachem checked once more. Tulloch checked back and Hachem announced "jack." Tullock nodded her head and Hachem tabled {J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for a pair of jacks, which was good for the pot.

Hachem complimented Tulloch after the hand on her aggressive play, and added, "If you bet again on the river, I don't know if I can call."

Berman Busts Hengen on the River

Level 6 : 300/600, 100 ante
Lyle Berman
Lyle Berman

Catching the action on the board of {3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{6-Spades}{Q-Hearts}, Lyle Berman called David Hengen's all in.

Berman: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Hengen: {5-Spades}{4-Spades}

With Hengen flopping a straight and Berman flopping top set, Hengen would need to fade the board pairing to stay alive.

Unfortunately for him, the river landed the {3-Clubs} to see Berman improve to a full house and send Hengen to the rail.

Zal Irani Finds New Life

Level 6 : 300/600, 100 ante

Zal Irani raised to 2,500 from under the gun and got calls from Michael Rosenfeld in late position and the player in the big blind.

The flop came {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and the big blind checked. Irani bet 5,000, with 6,000 behind, and Rosenfeld called, while the big blind folded.

Before the {6-Spades} hit the turn, Irani moved all in blind for his last 6,000. Rosenfeld tanked and eventually called.

Irani taled {k-Spades}{q-Hearts} for top pair two kings and queens, and Rosenfeld showed {a-Clubs}{q-Spades} for a pair of queens with an ace kicker. The river was the {j-Clubs} and Irani doubled through, chipping up to 31,000 after starting the day with just 11,300.

Chris Hunichen
Chris Hunichen

With about 4,000 chips already in the pot on a flop of {Q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, Chris Hunichen was in the small blind and heads-up against the hijack. Hunichen checked, his opponent bet 2,000, and Hunichen called.

The turn brought the {7-Diamonds} and both players checked.

The river was the {A-Hearts} and Hunichen checked. His opponent checked behind and Hunichen instantly tabled {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for the second-nut flush.

Defending the Blinds: With Christopher Vitch and Calvin Anderson

Level 6 : 300/600, 100 ante

A player raised to 1,500 in middle position and the player in the cutoff called. Christopher Vitch called as well from the big blind.

The flop came {7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and Vitch took about 20 seconds before betting 2,200. Both his opponents folded.

Calvin Anderson is at a nearby table and was in the small blind. He faced a middle position raise to 1,500 and called from the small blind. The big blind called as well.

The flop came {k-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and Anderson led for 2,800. Both his opponents folded.

Anderson has 29 WSOP cashes for $973,379 in earnings. He owns one WSOP gold bracelet from 2014 when he won the $1,500 Stud Eight or Better event for $190,538.

Vitch just won his second bracelet this summer in the $10,000 Stud Eight or Better tournament and has won a bracelet the past two years, winning his first in 2016 in the $2,500 Mixed Triple Draw Lowball tournament.
