Deeb Devours "Spaghettiii"

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 800 ante
Frank "Spaghettiii" Marasco
Frank "Spaghettiii" Marasco

Frank "Spaghettiii" Marasco moved all in for 51,281 from the hijack and Freddy "nevera" Deeb called from the small blind. The player in the big got out of the way and the hands were turned up.

Freddy "nevera" Deeb: {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Frank "Spaghettiii" Marasco: {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}

It was a flip and Marasco was looking to hold to stay alive. Unfortunately for him, that proved easier said than done as the board ran out {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} to give Deeb a winning two pair.

Charania Carves Large Chunk From Zamani

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 600 ante

Mohsin "BubbleTea3" Charania raised to 12,030 from early position. It folded around to Martin "BathroomLine" Zamani in the big blind who called.

The flop came {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{a-Spades}. Charania made a small bet of 6,500 which was raised to 17,800 by Zamani, Charania called.

The turn was the {6-Diamonds}. Zamani led out with a bet of 78,900 into a pot of 68,060. Charania thought for a while before calling.

The river came the {q-Diamonds}. Zamani shoved all in and was snap called by Charania who turned over top full house with the {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} to beat the {k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flush of Zamani as Charania carved a lot of chips away from the previous chip leader.

Big Slick Does Not Do the Trick for Himmelbrand

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 600 ante
Greg Himmelbrand
Greg Himmelbrand

Daniel "Dnegs" Negreanu raised to 12,000 from middle position and Greg "ClickingBtnz" Himmelbrand responded by three-bet jamming for 73,186 next to act. Upeshka "gomezhamburg" De Silva then four-bet from the big blind and Negreanu got out of the way.

Upeshka "gomezhamburg" De Silva: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Greg "ClickingBtnz" Himmelbrand: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

It was a flip but not after the {9-Spades}{6-Hearts}{10-Spades} flop gave De Silva a set. The {k-Diamonds} turn paired Himmelbrand but he was left drawing dead nonetheless. The meaningless {q-Diamonds} was run out on the river and Himmelbrand made his exit from the 2020 WSOP Main Event.

Ryan Riess
Ryan Riess

Michael "vagab0nd" Youngman raised to 11,455 and "joefire" called from the hijack. 2013 WSOP Main Event champ Ryan "BiTC0iN" Riess then three-bet all in for 53,476 from the cutoff and action folded back around to Youngman, who also folded.

Ryan "BiTC0iN" Riess: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
"joefire": {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}

Riess had the better pocket pair and he shipped the double after the board ran out a safe {10-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{5-Spades}.
