Dobson Chops it Up

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

The board read {3-Hearts}{A-Spades}{J-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} and the big blind bet 6,200 at the United Kingdom's Ben Dobson, who was sat in the hijack seat and Dobson called.

A larger bet of 14,300 was made when the {K-Clubs} completed the board, and again Dobson called.

Dobson showed {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and chopped the pot as his opponent held {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}.

This is Dobson's first cash of the 2014 World Series of Poker and the seventh of his career. To date Dobson has over $380,000 in live tournament earnings and more than $1.3 million from his online exploits; he's definitely one to watch in the latter stages of this event.

Ilich Stacks Them High

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Two players went to the flop at the high price of 18,000 each after Mark Reilly on the button called the raise from Drazen Ilich in the big blind. The dealer spread {k-Clubs}{2-Spades}{6-Diamonds} on the felt and both players checked. The turn was the {8-Hearts} and Ilich led out for 14,000 and Reilly called. The river was another eight, the {8-Spades}. Ilich led again, this time for 21,000, and Reilly made the call. Ilich showed {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and Reilly mucked his hand, awarding Ilich the massive pot.

Shane Busts Two

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

"Payout!" the dealer yelled. "Two payouts," he corrected.

There were three sets of pocket cards face up on the table. Brandon Shane held the best two: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}. With the board reading {6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs}{9-Hearts}, the other two players were eliminated holding {j-Spades}{j-Hearts} and {a-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}. Shane barely finished stacking his chips before racks were brought to the table to break them down as this tournament is shrinking quickly.

Ross Chips Up

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Ray Ross min-raised to 4,000 from early position and Perry Friedman and Jason Pritchard both called. The flop came out {4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} and Pritchard and Ross both checked before Friedman bet 6,500. Pritchard called and Ross put out a big raise to 23,500, leaving himself not much behind. Friedman let go of his hand, which he later admitted was a diamond flush draw, "but not the nut draw." Pritchard went into the tank, and after a minute and a half asked "how much is the raise?" He eventually folded his hand and Ross scooped in a decent pot with his check-raise.
