Sinishtaj Keeps Adding Chips

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The board read {5-Clubs}{2-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} with around 45,000 in the middle.

The player in mid-position bet 32,000 and Tony Sinishtaj called on the button.

The river completed the board with the {j-Diamonds}, Sinishtaj's opponent now checked and Sinishtaj announced all-in. His opponent had 36,500 behind, snickered, and shook his head. He looked at his cards once more before letting them go.

Liberto Wins With River Raise

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

With {2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{2-Spades}{5-Clubs} on the board, a player in early position bet 55,000, which looked to be around half pot. Justin Liberto put in a raise to what looked like 147,000 from the cutoff. His opponent tanked awhile then gave it up.

The bracelet winner is trending up quickly after treading water in the early levels.

Srinivasan Flexing Big Stack Muscle

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

A player in middle position opened for 9,000 and was called from the button, and Shyam Srinivasan dropped in a sizable three-bet to 49,000 out of the big blind. That induced one slow fold and then a fast one, and the online legend raked in a pot, sitting behind a very healthy stack of around 700,000.

Ephremsen Puts Traply to the Test

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Jesus Espinosa had opened to 9,000 on the button and both Paul Ephremsen and Peter Traply called in the small and the big blinds respectively.

No one bet on the {5-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop. The turn was the {9-Hearts} and Ephremsen lead for 14,000, which only Traply called. The river was {x-} and Ephremsen went all in for 129,000, which was only about 45,000 less than Traply had behind. He thought about it before making the fold.

Ector Eliminated After Clock Was Called On Opponent

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Benjamin Ector
Benjamin Ector

With around 50,000 already in the middle and a board showing {a-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{k-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{j-Spades}, Benjamin Ector moved all-in for 60,500 after his opponent from the big blind checked his option.

His opponent went into the tank for roughly five minutes before another player in the hand called for a clock.

Once the small blind player got to the five-second countdown, he moved his chips in the middle and made the call.

Benjamin Ector: {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{5-Clubs}

"I was glad you called the clock, players fold like 65 percent of the time once it is," stated Ector before leaving the table.

Ector currently has four cashes this summer during the WSOP for $272,895 with his best coming from Event #50: $1,500 No Limit Hold'em - Monster Stack where he finished fifth for $258,516.
