Allan Le raised to 60,000 in the cutoff and was called by the big blind.
After a check on the Q♥4♦3♠ flop, Le continued with a bet of 50,000. That was enough to take down the pot, as Le added to his growing stack.

Philip Yeh moved all in for 300,000 from the cutoff and was looked up by Mike Holtz in the small blind, who had a nearly identical stack.
Philip Yeh: A♠9♦ 
Mike Holtz: 5♣5♦
It was a flip but one that Holtz could not win as the board ran out A♦K♥Q♥10♣9♥ to leave him with just 10,000.
Holtz did win a three-way all in the following hand to get a few chips back.

A player moved all in for 85,000 from early position and Jessica Teusl re-jammed for 230,000 one seat over. Action folded around to Pavel Plesuv in the big blind and, after asking for a count, he made the call with the covering stack.
Early Position Player: 6♥6♠
Jessica Teusl: A♣9♦
Pavel Plesuv: 5♠5♥
The flop came 7♦4♣A♠ to push Teusl into the lead but that was followed by the 5♦ turn, a welcome sight for Plesuv. The river bricked out K♣ to keep Plesuv's set of fives in the lead while felting Teusl in cruel fashion.

Michael Jordan. Tom Brady. Tiger Woods. Serena Williams. Phil Ivey. What do these five superstars have in common? They're all widely considered the best to have ever done it in their respective sports.
On Thursday, Ivey captured his 11th World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet when he took down Event #29: $10,000 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw Championship (6-Handed). That puts him alone in second place behind the 17 bracelets Phil Hellmuth holds.
PokerNews asked some players at the WSOP why they think Ivey is the G.O.A.T., and we received some interesting answers from some of the best in the game.
The remaining 153 players have been sent on a 60-minute dinner break. They will return to blinds of 10,000/25,000 with a 25,000 big blind ante.
