Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

Stud

Jeff Szamborski: {x-}{x-} / {10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{3-Hearts} / {x-}
Opponent: {x-}{x-} / {4-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{2-Spades}{j-Hearts} / {x-}
All-in Opponent: {x-}{x-} / {q-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades} / {x-}

With one player all in on fourth street, Jeff Szamborski was heads-up in the side pot with one other opponent. Szamborski bet fifth, sixth, and seventh and was called each time.

At showdown, Szamborski tabled {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for trip tens while his opponent could only muster trip fours with {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}. The all-in player was also unable to beat Szamborski's hand and he raked in a healthy pot.

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Razz

Four-time WSOP gold bracelet winner John Hennigan was spotted at the tables and recently got involved with an opponent in a razz hand.

John Hennigan: {x-}{x-} / {9-}{5-}{q-}{q-} / {x-}
Opponent: {x-}{x-} / {2-}{2-}{6-}{8-} / {x-}

Hennigan opened with a raise and his opponent three-bet, which Hennigan just called. Hennigan led out on fourth street and then check-called his opponent's all in on fifth street. The face-down cards were tabled with Hennigan holding {a-}{6-} and his opponent showed {a-}{9-}.

Hennigan's final card was the {5-} which didn't improve his queen-low while his opponent received a {10-} to double up.

Hold'em

There was a raise from an under the gun opponent and Ryan Tyler then three-bet. The initial raiser called and the flop came down {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}. Action checked to Tyler who bet and his opponent then called.

The {6-Diamonds} came on the turn and his opponent check-called again. The river fell the {2-Hearts} and his opponent check-called again. Tyler then tabled {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for three of a kind on the flop and his opponent then mucked his hand.

Razz

Anthony Zinno: {x-}{x-} / {5-}{8-}{6-}{k-} / {x-}
Opponent: {x-}{x-} / {a-}{3-}{3-}{q-} / {x-}

Anthony Zinno was seen in a seat shortly after the dinner break but it wasn't for long. Zinno was down to just 1,400 chips and raised it up on third street. His opponent three-bet and Zinno just called. On fourth, Zinno stuck in the last of his chips and the cards were tabled.

Zinno flipped over {9-}{4-} and was ahead of his opponent's {9-}{6-} until seventh when his opponent peeled a {6-} for a nine-six low. Zinno exited the tournament area as quickly as he entered.

A couple other notable faces in the crowd include Brandon Cantu and Ryan Hughes.
