Tom Dwan raised to 3,000 in early position before Johannes Becker three-bet to 12,000 on the button. Dwan called and they went heads-up to the K?10?3? flop.

Becker bet another 11,000 and Dwan called. Both players then checked the A? turn.

The river was the K? and Becker fired out 34,000. Dwan immediately turned around the table and leaned back in his chair as he shuffled his chips for several minutes. He eventually tossed them in to call and Becker showed him K?Q? for trips to win the pot.

Cody Daniels raised to 2,500 on the button and was called by Abdullah Al-Shanti in the small blind and another opponent in the big blind.

"Taking on the maniac in seat #5," Daniels said as the flop came 2?10?4?. Al-Shanti then bet 2,200, the big blind folded, while Daniels called.

Al-Shanti led out for another 2,200 on the 9? turn and Daniels raised to 5,000. Al-Shanti called and the K? fell on the river.

Daniels then bet 12,000 and Al-Shanti folded this time. "Pick two," Daniels told him, allowing Al-Shanti to reveal his hand. Al-Shanti turned over two kings as Daniels had hit a set on the river.

McEwen Popped

Catalin Pop
Catalin Pop

Action was on the river in a three-way pot that had 30,000 in it. It read J?8?4?J?5?. From the hijack, big stack Catalin Pop dialed up the pressure cooker on his two shorter stacked opponents as he bet 75,000 which covered both players.

The first decision was on Ignacio Costa in the small blind who had about 55,000 behind, he went long into the tank and put his head in his hands multiple times while sighing. Eventually after 3 minutes he folded.

Then it was Preston McEwen's turn to stew from early position. He had about 35,500 behind and took around two minutes himself before he spiked in the call.

Pop turned over the J?10? for trip jacks. McEwen got up in a hurry in visible frustration as his 9x9x hand was turned over and he fled out of the room with his main event over.

Meanwhile, Cuesta reacted in relief when he saw Pop's hand, indicating he had made the correct fold to preserve his tournament life.

A player on the button raised to 7,200 pre-flop and Samuel Jourenay then reraised to 23,000 in early position. Shuyang Han called in the cutoff, as did the button.

The flop came 2?10?3? and Jourenay bet 20,000. Both opponents called and the 9? fell on the turn.

Jourenay then bet 45,000 and Han and the button both called once more. Jourenay slowed down and checked the 4? river and Han moved all in for 127,000.

The button quickly folded, later saying he had queen-ten, while Jourenay took nearly two minutes before also folding as Han took the massive pot without a showdown.

Brent Hart was in middle position and three-bet to 7,500. Ghattas Kortas then four-bet to 22,000 under the gun and Hart called.

The flop came 5?6?8? and Kortas bet 12,000. Hart called to the J? turn, where Kortas bet 35,000 leaving himself just one chip behind. Hart moved all in and Kortas put in his last chip.

Hart turned over J?J? for a turned set and Kortas slammed down A?A?. The river was the Q? and Hart secured the pot to send Kortas to the rail.

"What can I do? Some people are just luckier than others," Kortas said.

"If you shove the flop I fold," Hart, who won his first WSOP bracelet earlier this summer, replied.

Victor Bershinsky raised to 2,500 under the gun before Tanupat Punjarojanakul three-bet to 7,000 in early position. A player in the hijack moved all in for 10,000 and Bershinsky reshoved for around 50,000.

"I have to hope you both have ace-king," Punjarojanakul said as he tanked for a minute before folding two jacks.

All-In Player: 6?6? All in
Victor Bershinsky: A?A?

Punjarojanakul found out he made a good fold as Bershinsky showed down a pair of aces. The board read K?3?Q?5? by the turn, but the river J? would've given Punjarojanakul a set and a double knockout.

"I'm happy with the fold regardless," he said as Bershinsky took the pot to send the hijack to the rail.

"I only waited four hours for something like that," Bershinsky added.

A player in early position raised to 2,600 and picked up three callers, including Steven Jones in middle position.

The flop came 7?7?10? and action checked to the cutoff who bet 8,000. The big blind then moved all in for 8,800 and Jones and the cutoff called.

Both players checked the 6? turn before Jones bet 30,000 on the 8? river. The cutoff quickly folded.

"Ah," Jones said as he slammed down 7?7? for quads. Jones, last year's runner-up, took the pot to send the big blind to the rail.
