The turn was 5♥ and Yin checked. Lindgren tossed out 9,000 and that was enough to take the pot.

Livello 2 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

In a multi-way pot to the 10♠9♣2♠ flop, Shelley Rubenstein and Adam Swan opted to check. There were some 80,000 in the middle and Aleksandr Zubov bet 30,000. Rubenstein folded and the same also applied for Swan, awarding the healthy pot to Zubov without any showdown.

Moments later, the dealer announced a seat open on a nearby table and Pete Chen headed to the payout desk. The WPT and WSOP champion has earned a min-cash of $1,400 for the efforts and there are 91 players remaining in the second level of the day.

Livello 1 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action was three ways with 8,000 in the middle and 8♠4♥A♥ on the board when Rene Majed checked from the small blind and Youzou Yin checked from the big blind. Erick Lindgren tossed out 2,000 from the next seat over and Majed called before Yin got out of the way.

The turn was 9♥ and Majed check-called a bet of 8,000 from Lindgren to see J♣ on the river.

Both players checked the river and Majed turned over 8♥6♥ for the flush.

"This is my favorite hand," Lindgren said to Majed as he tossed it in the muck without showing. "Only you know what that is."

Livello 1 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Sean Troha was the first player to bust and he was soon followed by David Williams. The latter lost a big pot when jamming the 10♦4♠2♦5♥6♦ river with some 135,000 in the middle. Wai Lo reluctantly called for his last 85,000 and was good with the A♦K♠. Williams flung his cards towards the muck and the dealer pulled them in.

Soon after, Williams headed to the payout desk.
