Hamrick Takes One from O'Neal

From under the gun, Dean Hamrick opened for 135,000. It was folded around to Thomas O'Neal in the big blind who made the call.

The flop came down {4-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{j-Clubs} and both players checked.

The {5-Clubs} hit the turn, and both players checked again.

When the {j-Hearts} hit the river, O'Neal emphatically checked to Hamrick. Hamrick tossed in four green 25,000 chips, for a bet of 100,000. O'Neal promptly folded his hand.

Battling Blinds

Dean Hamrick limped from the small blind and Ian Wiley checked his option in the big blind.

The flop brought the {j-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and the {7-Diamonds}.

Hamrick bet 80,000 and Wiley made the call.

The {2-Clubs} fell on the turn and Hamrick slowly slid out a bet of 165,000 and that was enough to get Wiley out of the way.

Turn Bet Victory for O'Neal

Ian Wiley opened to 135,000 from the cutoff and Thomas O'Neal made the call from the big blind.

Both players checked the {Q-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} flop to see the {5-Diamonds} land on the turn and a 200,000-chip bet be enough from O'Neal to take down the pot and see his stack push over the 2,150,000-chip mark.

When the {2-Hearts} hit the turn, Caramatti bet 180,000. Wiley made the call and the river brought the {q-Spades}.

Both players checked and Wiley showed {j-Hearts}{3-Hearts} to take the pot.

Wiley Makes His Rail Go Wild

Aaron Kaiser made it 140,000 to go before Dean Hamrick bumped it up to 355,000. Ian Wiley then moved all in for 875,000 more. Kaiser immediately released his hand and Hamrick went into the tank. He eventually called, tabling {a-Spades}{q-Hearts} versus Wiley's {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}.

The flop came down {7-Spades}{4-Hearts}{8-Spades}. Hamrick's railbirds, which includes last year's WSOP Main Event champ, Joe Cada, were shouting for a queen and a spade.

The turn brought neither when the {3-Diamonds} hit the felt. Those chants didn't let up. "Queen!" called the rail, it was the {3-Hearts} however that fell. Wiley's rail jumped out of their chairs cheering for their friend, who had just doubled up to 2,600,000. Hamrick dropped to 1,275,000.

Kings-Up for Caramatti

Aaron Kaiser opened to 160,000 from the small blind and Niccolo Caramatti made the call from the big.

The flop fell down {K-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Kaiser paused for a few moments before making it 205,000 to go. Caramatti made the call as the dealer produced the {8-Hearts} on the turn and both Kaiser and Caramatti checked.

The {2-Diamonds} landed on the river and Kaiser took his time before dropping in a bet amounting to 290,000.

Caramatti instantly called and tabled his {K-Hearts}{2-Clubs} to prompt a muck from Kaiser.
