Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

A player from early position opened to 1,200 and received calls from a player in the button, Maria Ho in the small blind and Almog Biton in the big blind.

The flop came J♥3♦9♥. Ho and Biton checked, and the early position player fired a continuation bet of 2,800. The button called before Ho moved all in for 15,000. Biton called, sending the early position player deep into the tank.

After about two minutes, the early position player and the button got out of the way, leaving Ho all-in and at risk against Biton.

Maria Ho: A♥5♥
Almog Biton: J♣9♦

Ho was behind with her nut flush draw against Biton's two pair. The K♠ turn and 3♣ river offered no improvement, ending Ho's main event run while Biton scooped in a nice pot.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Action was picked up on the river with players heads up and the board showing 9♦6♦5♦5♥10♦ and about 25,000 in the pot. Efthymia Litsou, who was the last woman standing at last year's WSOP main event, bet 6,000 from early position and a player in middle position raised it to 17,000. Litsou did not take long before putting in the call.

The middle position player showed Q♥J♣ for a pure bluff and Litsou tabled A♦K♦ for an ace-high flush to take down a nice pot.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

On a heads-up turn board of K♠2♣2♦J♦, Tyler Cornell led out for 8,000 and his opponent, Pierpaolo Papadia, made the call.

The two players then went to the river A♥, and Cornell fired again for 20,000. Papadia then went into the tank for a good while, thinking about his next move.

After a while, he flicked in the chip to call, at which point Cornell tapped the table and tabled 8♦5♦ for a busted flush draw for eight-high. Papadia then proudly showed Q♣10♣ for the rivered Broadway and he was shipped the substantial pot.
