Daniel Strelitz made third in the $1,500 Six-Handed event that finished up Thursday afternoon after a very active three days of play that ended rather abruptly when he ran queens into Mike Sowers' aces three-handed.
In the early going here, Strelitz appears just as willing to put chips in the pot, pushing his stack up to close to the 3,700 mark.
However, that stack just took a small hit when he called a 75-chip open in late position, floated a 100-chip bet on a flop and folded to a 125-chip bet on the turn.
CardPlayer Magnate and 2009 WSOP Europe Main Event champ Barry Shulman sure runs good.
Not only did he river aces full to crack Daniel Negreanu's turned trip jacks, avoid elimination and go on to win the WSOPE title back in 2009.
But he found a quick double here and is sitting rather comfortably on 6,200 after flopping two pair and getting the player who used to be to his left to give away most of his stack with pocket queens.
Maurice Hawkins, who recently finished ninth in the Millionaire Maker for $128,150, has taken a seat at Table 9. Hawkins is a well-known circuit grinder with more than $1.2 million in career tournament cashes, and PokerNews recently caught up with him for an interview.
Coming off a fifth-place finish at the 2014 WPT Borgata Winter Poker Open Main Event for $213,650, Vladislav Mezheritsky has some big plans for the WSOP.
Here in this latest $1k he's certainly off to a good start. Mezheritsky managed to turn into a flush over flush over top pair situation to drag a rather big pot and is now sitting on better than 8,000 chips.
Although, it doesn't appear it will be an easy day for him, as Byron Kaverman and his $3.1 million in live tournament earnings, including a 21st-place finish for $17,357 in that very same Borgata main, is sitting to his right.
