Shak Takes From Lindgren

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Dan Shak
Dan Shak

Dan Shak raised to 800 from early position and Erick Lindgren called in middle position while the player in the big blind defended.

Action checked to Lindgren on the Q?9?8? flop where he bet 1,000 and only Shak called.

Both players checked the 6? turn to the 3? river where Shak took over the betting lead, throwing in 2,000. Lindgren sighed and released his hand into the muck, ceding the pot to Shak.

Konopelko Takes One on the River, Then Spikes a Boat

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Andrei Konopelko
Andrei Konopelko

Andrei Konopelko bet 1,600 from under the gun on a flop of 10?9?3? and Skyler Roberts called in early position. Brandy Savage then raised to 3,500 in the small blind and both opponents called.

All three players checked the 4? turn before Konopelko bet 6,500 on the 7? river. Roberts quickly folded, but Savage gave it some thought before also folding after around a minute.

"I would've called in your spot, but not with you behind me," Roberts told Savage.

The next hand, Roberts raised to 600 under the gun before Jeffrey Muncy three-bet to 2,600 in early position. Erick Lindgren called in middle position, as did Konopelko in the big blind and Roberts.

The flop came 4?4?5? and Muncy bet 3,500. Lindgren and Konopelko both called. The 8? turn was checked through and Konopelko bet 12,500 on the 5? river.

Muncy called and Lindgren folded, claiming he had two jacks. Konopelko showed 8?8? for a full house and Muncy tossed Q?Q? into the muck.

Gang Zhao bet 3,500 from middle position on a board of Q?9?J?6? and Romain Bailleul called in the hijack. Daniel Samson then raised to 15,000 in the small blind and only Bailleul called.

The river was the 2? and Samson bet 30,000. Bailleul quickly folded.

"I had ace-ten of spades. Just put another spade out there," Bailleul said.

"We're supposed to be playing small, but the pots keep getting bigger and bigger," Samson added.

Another Day, Another First-Hand Bustout from the Main Event

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Greg Raymer
Greg Raymer

After yesterday saw TWO players bust on the very first hand of Day 1a, you'd have thought players would have been a little bit more cautious on Day 1b of the 2004 WSOP Main Event.

However, no sooner had 2004 WSOP Main Event champion Greg Raymer uttered the immortal words "shuffle up and deal", a player hit the rail.

No quads, no full house — but someone sitting with double starting stack barely five minutes into the day. Check it out here!

Jason Daly bet 4,500 from the cutoff on a board of 7?2?10?9? and an opponent in the small blind called. George Dolofan then raised to 15,000 in early position and Daly called, while the small blind got out of the way.

The river was the 5? and Dolofan bet 20,000. Daly quickly called and Dolofan showed 8?6? for a straight.

"That's good," Daly said as he mucked.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Glenn Difurio
Glenn Difurio

There was around 10,000 in the pot as four players went to the turn on a board of 10?3?6?J?. Urs Blunier then bet 6,000 from the hijack and was called by the cutoff, Glenn Difurio in early position, and another opponent in middle position.

The river was the 9? and Blunier bet another 8,000. Only Difurio called this time.

"Ace-ten," Blunier said, but Difurio showed K?J? for a pair of jacks as he took the pot.

"I thought for sure somebody had a set," tablemate and 2009 November Niner Steven Begleiter added.

Niklas Astedt had a three-bet of 2,800 in front of him from the big blind before Gabriel Nastasa four-bet to 7,300 on the button. Astedt called and they went heads-up to the 5?A?5? flop.

"Lucky river," Astedt added as the Swedish online legend took the big pot.
