Multiple bets were in before seventh street, and the final card of William Klevitz was accidentally flipped over and exposed in front of him. Randy Ohel, his opponent in the very hand, as well as another player, explained that Klevitz could declare himself all in, which would not technically mean that all his chips were at risk. Instead, Ohel could not raise anymore and it was a protection measure.
The floor was called, and the exact same scenario was confirmed. Klevitz then tapped the table and checked. Ohel checked behind, and was shown for a low. Ohel mucked the , and Klevitz scooped the low and even the high half with just ace-king.
Among those to bust recently was also Mike Gorodinsky. Short stack for most of the day, he hung around for a long time before eventually joining the rail. There are less than 50 players remaining and the dinner break is just 15 minutes away.
There were three limpers, with Max Pescatori and Stuart Williams on the button among them. On the flop, Pescatori bet, and Williams raised. Only Pescatori called. After the turn, Pescatori check-called a bet before betting the river.
Williams sighed, contemplating his action for a good minute before releasing the cards into the muck.
Helen Ellis was the initial raiser from early position and David "Bakes" Baker called in the big blind. The latter bet the turn, and Ellis called before doing so again on the river. Baker showed for two pair, and Ellis mucked.
Down to one big blind, she shoved the next hand, and Pouria Amiraslani raised. Benjamin Dobson called in the big blind and check-raised the flop to force a fold from Amiraslani.

The turn and were both blanks for Ellis, and she could all but smile before heading to the rail.
