Rittie Chuaprasert

Four players saw a flop of 5?6?2? as action checked through to the J? turn. Snjezana Milisa then led out for 3,000 from the small blind.

Shahar Levi called in the big blind, as did Rittie Chuaprasert in the cutoff. Ran Koller folded his button and they went three-handed to the 6? river. Milisa then bet another 6,000.

Levi folded, but Chuaprasert quickly called. Milisa showed J?10? for top pair, but Chuaprasert had K?K? to win the pot.

Waysei Cracks Aces to Double Through Khun

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Koveh Waysei
Koveh Waysei

With three players seeing a board of 7?5?3? and a bit under 15,000 in the middle, Max Broens checked from under the gun, Chanracy Khun checked from middle position, and Koveh Waysei moved all in for 16,000 from the button. Broens got out of the way while Khun made the call with a covering stack to put Waysei at risk.

Koveh Waysei: Q?J? All in
Chanracy Khun: A?A?

Khun was in great shape with an overpair to score the knockout and remained ahead on the 6? turn. The 3? river saw the flush come in for Waysei, who scored a full double up at Khun's expense.

Paul Serrate

Heads-up on a flop of K?2?5?, Paul Serrate bet 3,000 from the button and Brandon Taff called in the cutoff.

The turn was the 6? and Serrate bet 5,000. Taff again called to see the J? river.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Luke Martinelli
Luke Martinelli

Action was picked up on the turn in a pot between Erick Lindgren in the small blind and Luke Martinelli in middle position.

The board read K?Q?3?5? and Lindgren checked over to Martinelli who bet 12,000 into a pot worth 16,500, which Lindgren called.

On the river A?, Lindgren checked once more over to Martinelli who moved all in for 34,500 total and Lindgren went into the tank. After some thought he tossed his hand into the muck, leaving Martinelli to scoop a sizable pot.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Colten Yamagishi
Colten Yamagishi

Colten Yamagishi raised to 1,00 from under the gun and the button raised to 5,000. He made the call.

The flop came Q?6?7?, and Yamagishi was quick to check. The button continued for 4,000, and Yamagishi made the call.

While the turn peeled 4?, Yamagishi again checked. His opponent fired for 10,000, and Yamagishi moved all in for 41,000. The button made the call, and both players revealed their hands.

Button: A?Q? All in
Colten Yamagishi: Q?Q?

The river was unnecessary as it came the 10?, with the button's hand drawing dead after the turn.

The river was the 7? and Ensan fired out 9,500. Stankov tanked for a minute but eventually folded as the 2019 Main Event champion added to his big stack.

Marder Leads Out

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Michael Marder
Michael Marder

A player opened to 1,200 in the first position, which saw a player in the small blind call and Michael Marder in the big blind call as well.

The flop of 3?5?4? saw Marder bet 1,500 when action reached him, and only the under-the-gun player called.

Marder sized up to 3,000 on the K? turn and once more was called.

On the river 4?, Marder bet 10,000, and his opponent went into the tank. After some thought, his opponent folded, and the WSOPC ring winner took the pot down without showdown.

Baker Back Above Starting

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
David Baker 'Bakes'
David Baker 'Bakes'

David "Bakes" Baker has been relatively short for much of the day but just won a large three-way pot to move back over starting stack.

Baker opened to 1,500 from middle position and was called by a player in middle position. Jane Hitchcock then three-bet to 3,300 out of the small blind, receiving calls from both of her opponents.

Hitchcock continued for 5,000 on the 7?7?8? flop but was unable to shake off either of her opponents as both Baker and the middle position player made the call.

The Q? turn saw Hitchcock bet again, this time pushing 5,100 into the middle. Again, both of her opponents called.

Hitchcock slowed down following the Q? river, checking to Baker who bet 15,000. The middle position player vacated the pot while Hitchcock snapped off the bet with AxAx. Baker had her beat, however, as he held 8?8? for the turned boat to scoop a big pot.

Texas Mike Hits the Rail

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Michael Moncek
Michael Moncek

Michael Moncek raised to 900 from middle position, and Aristide Carozza in the cutoff made the call. Then the small blind Chris Dandrea three-bet to 3,300. After it folded back to Moncek, he four-bet all in for 19,100. Carozza folded, and after confirming the count Dandrea made the call.

Michael Moncek: A?7? All in
Chris Dandrea: A?K?

Moncek was dominated by the ace-king of Dandrea, and the 9?Q?3? flop was no help to Moncek. The 10? on the turn did bring Moncek more outs with a flush draw. But when the 9? hit the river, Dandrea's ace-king high was still best, and Moncek was eliminated from the tournament.
