Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

John Wasnock jammed for 100,000 form early position. He was called by Boris Kuzmanovic in the cutoff but Frederic Delval in the big blind went into the tank. He eventually moved all-in for 231,000 and Kuzmanovic called.

John Wasnock: Q♦Q♣ All in
Frederic Delval: 7♥7♦ All in
Boris Kuzmanovic: A♦J♣

Wasnock kept the lead all the way through a board of 4♣J♦9♣K♠4♥ and tripled up while Kuzmanovic claimed the side pot with a pair of jacks and Delval was eliminated. “It’s the second hand I’ve played today. It was a good spot,” he said after leaving the table.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

“Martin Kabrhel has more time banks than chips,” WSOP Live wrote as Kabrhel had just 22,000 under the gun. He began talking in an attempt to use as many time banks as possible, but after more than five minutes, a floor staff member warned him not to abuse the situation.

WSOP tournament director Andy Tillman stepped in to handle the situation as Luca Stevanato was more and more frustrated watching Kabrhel use all 18 of his time banks. Stevanato was told to stay calm as Kabrhel continued to take his extra time.

After more than ten minutes, Kabrhel eventually raised to 21,000, leaving himself just 1,000 behind. Stevanato then raised to 60,000 from the cutoff, and after using his final time bank card, Kabrhel made the call.

Martin Kabrhel: Q♣8♠ All in
Luca Stevanato: 4♦4♣

Kabrhel flopped a pair on 8♣10♦5♦7♠J♣ to double up.

In the next hand, Kasperi Ilkka opened to 20,000 from under the gun. Kabrhel in the big blind raised to 68,000 and Ilkka called. He bet 25,000 on the Q♣3♠J♥ flop and Kabrhel check-called off his last 1,000.

Martin Kabrhel: A♠A♣ All in
Kasperi Ilkka: A♦10♣

Kabrhel found aces at the right moment. The 8♥2♠ runout changed nothing and he doubled up again.

However his show came to an end moments later with 8♦8♥ against A♦10♦ on 7♦5♥A♣Q♦Q♠ and he was eliminated in 278th place for €10,000.

Action folded to Traian-Costin Stanciu in the cutoff, and he opened to 20,000. Yilu Yuan on the button called, but Ran Ilani in the big blind three-bet to 150,000, leaving just 16,000 behind. Stanciu folded, but Yuan went all in, and Ilani called, sending the cards on their backs.

Ran Ilani: 4♠4♦ All in
Yilu Yuan: A♣10♥

The board ran out 7♠3♣6♦J♠9♦, and Ilani's pair held, allowing him to double up.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The pot was around 100,000 and the board showed 6♠5♥4♥K♦. Ignat Liviu, in the big blind, led out with a bet of 65,000. Yuxi Huang on the button took her time, using one time bank card, before making the call.

The river brought the 7♣ and Liviu fired 80,000. Huang checked her cards, burned one more time bank card, and then shoved all in for around 250,000. Liviu folded quickly, giving up the pot to Huang.
