Ethan Yau just eliminated a new player to boost his stack after the two got the chips in preflop.
Cutoff: K♠J♠ 
Ethan Yau: A♦K♦
Yau didn't need to sweat as the board ran out 2♠3♥5♥A♥A♠ which gave him trips and a lock on the pot.
Action was picked up on the turn with a board of 4♦6♠9♦K♦ when the player in the big blind checked to Chander Jain in the cutoff. Jain bet 11,000 and his opponent called.
The river fell Q♦ and the big blind checked again. Jain constructed a bet of 18,500 and his opponent called after some thought. Jain rolled over A♣J♦ for flush and said, "I must be good if you're not raising." His opponent mucked.
Three players were on a flop of 7♥4♥J♦. From early position, Maxime Chilaud bet 10,000, Frank Funaro called from the cutoff and Cedric Schwaederle also called in the big blind.
The turn was the 3♣. Chilaud fired again for 18,000. Funaro pushed all of his chips forward except for a single 500 chip behind, for about 43,000. Schwaederle folded quickly and Chilaud called.
Frank Funaro: Q♠J♥
Maxime Chilaud: K♣J♠
Funaro was just one card from being sent to the rail but the Q♦ miraculously came on the river to save him and send Chilaud down to a stack of less than ten big blinds.
Alex Foxen and Ethan Yau were involved in another pot on a board of 8♥3♦9♦Q♣4♠. Foxen had shoved the river and put Yau to the test for his last 62,500 chips. After some time mulling it over, Yau elected to fold but didn't seem too happy about it.
Action folded to Mohammad Arani in the cutoff who opened to 5,500. The button and small blind got out of the way before Daniel Auckland in the big blind raised to 15,000. Arani called.
The flop fell J♦6♦J♠ and Arani folded to a bet of 15,000 from Auckland.
Mohammad Arani had opened the action from middle position before Daniel Auckland three-bet to 26,000 from the small blind. Arani made the call.
The flop of J♣2♥A♥ saw Auckland continue for 20,000, and Arani quickly folded.
Nível: 12
Blinds: 1,500/3,000
Ante: 3,000
Action picked up with a player all in, recent arrival Mike Moncek all in and at risk, and Eric Wasserson, who had both players covered, waiting his turn to act on the button.
Wasserson then moved all in, which forced out the two players in the blinds. The cards were then tabled.
Mike Moncek: 4♥4♣
Opponent: Q♠Q♦
Eric Wasserson: A♦A♥
Wasserson, who was in a side pot against the player with pocket queens, was in position to knock out two players, but the situation immediately changed when the dealer fanned 3♣4♦9♣ on the flop.
The 6♣ appeared on the turn, and then 8♥ on the river to give two-time WSOP bracelet winner Moncek the main pot and Wasserson the side pot.
Ethan Yau and Alex Foxen had both seen a flop of 9♠6♣3♣ where Yau had check-called a bet of 8,000 from Foxen.
The turn brought an 8♠ and Yau led out for 12,000, which Foxen called.
When the 2♠ landed on the river, Yau bet 21,000 leaving himself just 2,500 chips behind, and Foxen snap-folded.
In a blind-on-blind situation, Andrew Ostapchenko and Donald Dorey got all their chips into the middle with Dorey being the at-risk player.
Donald Dorey: 8♠8♥
Andrew Ostapchenko: 10♥10♦
Dorey picked up some extra outs on the 7♦4♠5♠ flop and hit his set on the 8♦ turn. Ostapchenko needed to find a ten on the river and managed to bink it as the 10♣ rolled off, which improved him to a bigger set and eliminated Dorey.
