Malzanini Wins One

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Hiren Patel had just moved his monster stack to the table in the big blind and called the raise to 6,500 from Julius Malzanini sitting under the gun. The flop came {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} and both players checked. The turn {9-Spades} was checked down as well. And the {7-Spades} brought a bet of 8,500 from Patel which Malzanini quickly called.

"Ace-high," announced Patel.

Malzanini revealed {a-Clubs}{j-Spades} for ace-high as well, but his jack kicker must've made the difference, as Patel mucked.

Somerville Stacked

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Popular pro Jason Somerville's tournament has ended with an 84th place finish worth $4,505. This is Somerville's 17th cash at the World Series of Poker and his second of the 2014 edition. Sadly, for Somerville at least, his wait to add a second bracelet to his wrist will have to wait a little later.

Silver, Collins and Divkovic Are Cruising

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Max Silver
Max Silver

Each time we wonder past Max Silver's table he seems to have accumulated more chips. He's now armed with 425,000 and looking a good for a set on Day 3.

Also sitting pretty, although with less chips that Silver, are Phil Collins and [Removed:480]. Collins is busy devouring some food to give himself an energy boost, while Divkovic is laughing and joking on Table 445 at the far end of the tournament area.

Divkovic is the winningest player hailing from Bosnia & Herzegovina, having won $370,650 in his live poker tournament career so far. This is Divkovic's second WSOP cash, having reached the money places in the Millionaire Maker last week.

Fehsenfeld Doubles Through Chip Leader

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Jaime Kaplan raised to 8,000 in early position with his enormous stack in front of him, and Frank Fehsenfeld felt no fear as he pushed all in with his short stack. Kaplan called.

Kaplan: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Fehsenfeld: {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Fehsenfeld needed some help, and help came on the flop of {10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}. His tens stayed strong through the turn and river of {8-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and he made the double-up through Kaplan.

Spears Receives a Gift

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Andy Spears has almost a quarter of a million chips thanks to a real gift from an opponent at his table.

We hear Loni Harwood telling the tournament's chip leader Hiren Patel that the player had raised from late position, Spears three-bet from the big blind, the player responded with a small four-bet, to which Spears five bet "ripped" over the top of for 114,000. The player made a reluctant call and showed {A-Clubs}{9-Spades} and Spears the {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}.

A final board reading {7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} kept Spears' queen ahead and doubled him to 240,000.
