Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Action folded to Wayne Uhl in the small blind who raised to 1,700 and got a call from the big blind leading to a K♠9♠9♥ flop.

Uhl quickly grabbed chips and continued with a bet of 1,300. His opponent in the big blind called the bet to bring out the A♥ on the turn.

Uhl again very quickly and decisively grabbed chips and tossed out another 1,300 bet and again was called by the big blind before the dealer brought out the 5♣ on the river.

Action checked through and Uhl turned over the A♠2♦. His opponent mucked, saying that he had a king as Uhl pulled in the pot.

PokerNews was waved over as action was retold by spectators of the hand.

Action was caught after the flop of A♥4♦3♥, and Brian Wilson led out. Stephanie Wang jammed all in over the top for around 50,000. She received a call from Wilson as both players revealed their hands.

Stephanie Wang: 8♣8♥
Brian Wilson: Q♣10♦

The board ran out 9♥10♥, and Wilson thought he won with his rivered pair of tens. The dealer and Wang both realized that it was her flush with the 8♥ that was the winner. A player at the table commented that 'they've never seen a hand like that in their life let alone the Main Event of the WSOP".

Andrew Knowles

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Kalidou Sow opened to 1,000 from middle position and a player next to act in the hijack three-bet to 3,000. The rest of the table folded and Sow came along.

Both players checked their options on every street until the river on a board showing 9♣8♦6♥6♦A♣. Sow checked a third time and his opponent tossed out a bet of 5,000. Sow made the call and the hands were shown.

The hijack tabled A♥5♥ for a rivered ace and Sow smiled as he rolled over A♠5♠ for the same hand to chop up the pot.

"I should have c-bet," said the hijack as him and Sow laughed at having the same hand.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Michael Pepe raised under the gun to 1,400 and Conrad Simpson called from a couple spots to his left before the cutoff called.

When the A♣J♦6♥ flop hit the felt, all three players checked.

The 2♦ fell on the turn and Pepe fired a bet of 2,800. Simpson quickly got out of the way, but the cutoff tossed in a call.

The 7♠ completed the board and Pepe continued the aggression, putting 5,500 in the middle, and that was enough to force his opponent to surrender.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

The action folded around to Tara Cain on the button who made it 1,000 to go. Michael Kapernaros shoved all in for around 7,000 in the small blind and Cain called to put him at risk.

Michael Kapernaros: 5♠5♥
Tara Cain: 7♠7♦

Cain had the better of the two pocket pairs and the flop of K♦4♦2♠ changed nothing. The 8♦ on the turn left Kapernaros with just a single out and the 7♥ on the river was not going to be it.
