Liam Gannon

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Action was picked up in a multiway pot as one player raised to 2,000 which saw four players call including Julian Aguirre on the button and Espen Jorstad in the big blind.

The flop rolled out 10♦6♦9♠ and action checked around to Aguirre who bet 8,700. In the big blind, Jorstad raised to 26,300 and all other players folded. With action back on Aguirre, he moved all in for 64,000 effective and Jorstad shook his head.

"I'm not happy about it," Jorstad responded while reluctantly putting his chips in the middle to put himself at risk.

Espen Jorstad: 6♥6♣
Julian Aguirre: 8♥7♦

The board ran out A♥8♦ and the straight held up for Aguirre against Jorstad's set of sixes.

The pot was pushed to Aguirre while Jorstad wished his table luck as the 2022 WSOP Main Event champion exited the field, ensuring that a new champion would emerge.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Three ways to the 10♣4♥4♦ flop, the action checked to Jack Sinclair on the button and he bet 2,000. Jia Jun called out of the big blind before Alex Keating in the hijack check-raised to 7,000 off a short stack. Sinclair folded whereas Jun raised big to 75,000, which had Keating's stack of around 28,000 easily covered.

The call by Keating followed and the cards were exposed.

Alex Keating: A♥A♦
Jia Jun: 4♣3♣

Neither the 8♠ turn nor the K♦ river came to the rescue of Keating, who quickly left the tournament area. Farhad Jamasi was also no longer found on the same table either.

Rodriguez didn't take long to call and Edoc got out of the way for the following showdown:

Jamie Kerstetter: A♣J♠
Fernando Rodriguez: A♥K♣

Kerstetter was in bad shape for her tournament's life, and busted after the board brought her no help with 8♦7♦6♥Q♦3♠
