Moore Drops Under 200k, Matte Triples

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

An early positioned player made it 1,250 to go and found calls from a late position player, Scott Matte in the cutoff, Samuel Moore in the small blind, and the big blind. All five players watched as {8-Spades}{4-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} hit the felt.

Action checked to the original raiser who fired 5,525. One player folded, Matte called, and action was back on Moore in the small blind. He came over the top with a raise to 19,000. The big blind folded and the original raiser called. Matte took this opportunity to move all in for his last 29,300 which both players called.

The {7-Hearts} fell on fourth street, prompting checks from Moore and his active opponent. Both checked again on the {A-Clubs} river and Moore's opponent showed {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}. Moore mucked at the sight of this, but the pot was ultimately scooped by Matte's {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. He dragged this massive triple and now has about 100,000 in chips. Moore, on the other hand, has dropped back below the 200k mark with 197,300.

Farber Looking for Another Deep Run in the Main Event

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

Last year Las Vegas VIP host Jay Farber lived the dream by navigating the WSOP Main Event field to make his way to the November Nine. When he returned months later, Farber managed to finagle his way to second place, good for $5,174,357. This year, Farber managed to survive Day 1a with 55,050, and thus far his Day 2a has been going well as he's nearly tripled that.

Farber, who is seated at one of the secondary feature tables, obviously has high hopes of another deep run, but there is still a long way to go. In a recent hand, there was around 6,000 in the pot and a flop of {2-Hearts}{k-Spades}{2-Diamonds} when Farber bet 2,300 from the cutoff and his opponent on the button raised to 5,625.

Farber, who is sporting his trademark panda paraphernalia, made the call and then both players checked the {4-Hearts} turn. The action repeated itself on the {7-Clubs} river, and Farber confidently tabled the {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for kings and deuces with a ten kicker. Unfortunately for him, he was outkicked as the button held the {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs} for a better two pair.

Dawley Done In

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante
Jessica Dawley - Eliminated
Jessica Dawley - Eliminated

Theo Tran raised in early position, a player on his left called, and Jessica Dawley put in a three-bet near the button. Tran four-bet, the action folded back to Dawley who moved all in, and Tran called.

Tran: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Dawley: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Dawley was in great shape to double, until she was drawing dead on a flop of {3-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}. The turn ({2-Diamonds}) and river ({3-Diamonds}) were both meaningless, and Dawley hit the rail.

Tran is up to 68,000 chips.

Smith Trending Up Despite Loss

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

A player moved all in on a short stack of 11,375 against a few opponents, and action folded to the last player with cards, Dan Smith, who made the call. The board was {4-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Spades}.

Smith: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}
Opponent: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Smith didn't have as many outs as he may have expected, since only his flush draw was live. He bricked it as the last two streets came {8-Hearts} and then {4-Hearts}, and Smith doubled his opponent up.

Despite the setback, Smith has gained considerable chips since we last checked on him.

Nassif Gets It Quietly

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante
Gabriel Nassif
Gabriel Nassif

We haven’t seen Gabriel Nassif play a whole lot of pots today but his tight image saw a first position raise from him take the antes and blinds. Not even big stack Seamus Cahill in the big blind was prepared to give him a spin.

Nassif was in the big blind next hand and facing a raise from small blind Anton Makiievskyi to 1,800. Nassif made the call and the two players went to a flop of {3-Spades}{7-Clubs}{8-Spades}.

Makiievskyi bet 2,100 and Nassif made the call to see the turn card {10-Spades}. Makiievskyi then check-called a 4,200 bet and the river {q-Hearts} completed the board. Checked to Nassif, he bet 8,500 and although Makiievskyi gave him a sceptical stare he released his hand and the pot was pushed Nassif’s way.

Chae and Cartwright Chop It Up

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

Hyoung Chae opened to 1,200 from early position and was called by Kyle Cartwright and the two players in the blinds. The flop came {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and it was checked to Chae who bet 2,200. Cartwright called, the player in the small blind folded, and the player in the big blind check-raised to 6,800.

The turn was the {10-Hearts} and all three players checked. The river was the {Q-Clubs} and the player in the big blind quickly checked. Chae bet 12,000 and Cartwright called. The player in the big blind folded and Chae, with {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}, and Cartwright, with {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, would split the pot with straights.

Love Takes One Out

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

Picking up the action after a {J-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop, Imari Love and an opponent went back and forth until Love's opponent shoved for roughly 62,000. Love called after a few moments with {2-Spades}{2-Clubs} and was relieved to see his opponent table {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}. The {4-Spades} turn didn't end things yet, but the {10-Spades} river locked up the for Love.

Rossiter's WSOP is Over

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

One of Australia's finest poker talents, Jeff Rossiter, has just been knocked out from the Main Event. Rossiter started the day with little chips and despite doubling through Marvin Rettenmaier early on he just lost his last chips.

According to Rettenmaier, Rossiter ended up all in with pocket sixes for about 10,000 chips and he was up against two tens. The board brought no help and Rossiter, who cashed twice at this year's World Series of Poker, left the tournament area.
