Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 24,000 ante
Yuval Bronshtein

The final hand before the break saw button Yuval Bronshtein raise to 36,000 and big blind Ajay Chabra three-bet to 118,000. Back to Bronshtein, who moved all in, counting his own chips for Chabra - 870,000. This won the pot there and then for Bronshtein, who's evening up the chip stacks.

Jerry Wong Eliminated in 3rd Place ($39,986)

Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 24,000 ante
Jerry Wong
Jerry Wong

Jerry Wong jammed for 190,000 from the button and Ajay Chabra had the count verified before throwing in one chip, callling.

Chabra patted and Wong changed one, tabling a wheel draw.

Wong: {5-}{4-}{3-}{2-}
Chabra: {10-}{9-}{8-}{7-}{4-}

"Seven, eight, nine, or a ten," Wong observed.

Then he looked down at his new card and peeled it. "Pair," he said, flipping a {2-} before shaking hands with Chabra and Yuval Bronshtein.

Wong was rewarded with $39,986 as he finally notched a top-three finish at a WSOP event.

Even the Best Gotta Get There Sometimes

Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 24,000 ante
Jerry Wong

So say Jerry Wong's rail, cheering on their short-stacked friend through the final table. Wong just doubled up through Ajay Chabra, moving all in for the third time in five hands for 150,000. This time big blind Chabra made the call and both players drew a card. Their hands:

Chabra: {q-}{8-}{7-}{5-}{4-}
Wong: {j-}{9-}{7-}{6-}{3-}

"Made it," said Wong, to cheers from the rail.

Every Pot Crucial for Wong

Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 24,000 ante

Jerry Wong has been nursing his short stack, and every hand has a significant impact on his stack. There hasn't been a single draw in the last few orbits.

Wong was already down to last 107,000 but then he shoved from the small blind and the price was still too high for Ajay Chabra to call. The very next hand saw Wong move all in again and his shove got through one more time.

These two hands helped Wong nearly double his stack, but he still has a mountain to climb.

Steven Tabb Eliminated in 4th Place ($27,477)

Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 24,000 ante
Steven Tabb
Steven Tabb

A monster pot just went to Yuval Bronshtein, busting Steven Tabb in the process. Tabb, first to act four-handed, moved in for 323,000. Button Jerry Wong made the call, then small blind Bronshtein called all-in too for 305,000. This came as an unwelcome surprise for Tabb, who elected to draw two cards now; Wong and Bronshtein stayed pat.

The pat hands: {9-}{7-}{6-}{3-}{2-} (Wong) and {8-}{7-}{6-}{4-}{3-} (Bronshtein).
Tabb had kept {7-}{4-}{2-}. His first drawn card was a potentially game-changing {5-Clubs}. His second, however, was the {10-Spades} and he hit the rail in fourth place.

Chabra Takes from Wong

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 30,000 ante

Jerry Wong made it 35,000 in the cutoff and Ajay Chabra fired 105,000 from the button. Wong matched the bid and changed one. Chabra patted and both players tapped the felt. Chabra opened {j-}{7-}{6-}{5-}{3-} and Wong couldn't beat that.

The following hand saw Wong call Chabra's 32,000-raise and they peeled one apiece. Wong check-called 64,000 but Chabra had him again, showing {10-}{7-}{6-}{4-}{2-}.

Michael Sortino Eliminated in 5th Place ($19,313)

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 30,000 ante
Michael Sortino
Michael Sortino

It folded to Michael Sortino on the small blind, who raised to 50,000. Big blind Ajay Chabra peered across the dealer at Sortino's stack, and set him in for just over 300,000. Sortino riffled a stack of thousand and five thousand chips together while giving Chabra the staredown and then called.

Both players drew a card, and it would be the last card for Sortino. His {8-}{6-}{5-}{2-} drew a jack, while Chabra made {10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}.

Bronshtein Wins a Minor One

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 30,000 ante

The play has slowed down in the recent minutes with the vast majority of the pots being taken down by the initial raise.

An exception occurred when Yuval Bronshtein defended big blind, calling Steven Tabb's 26,000-raise. Both players peeled one and then they checked. Bronshtein opened {10-}{8-}{7-}{5-}{2-} and narrowed the gap between his and Tabb's stack. They are currently maneuvering the two shortest stacks at the table.
