Level 5
: 100/200, 25 ante
Following his late registration into the tournament, Joe Elpayaa has remained roughly around starting stack. He recently dropped below the 10,000 but won the following pot, which took him up to 10,600.
Just now, he double-barrelled the flop and turn on a 
board, betting 600 and 1,800 respectively. It was enough to take it down.

Level 5
: 100/200, 25 ante
Maria Konnikova has had a great year so far, already securing a win in the National, at the PCA earlier in 2018.
Today, she is no doubt hoping to build on her success with a deep run in this event and she has made a good start so far, building up to 20,000.
The most recent chips were acquired in a hand that she defended from the blinds versus a late position open.
Flop: 
She check-called the 800 flop continuation.
There was no action on the 
turn and on the 
river, she opted to lead, making it 1,700 to get to showdown. Her opponent didn't like the price and passed.
