Irene Carey and Alen Bakovic pointed out the details of a recent elimination, which happened to be none other than Huck Seed. According to both, Seed four-bet jammed for 52,000 with the 76 and was called by Tanner Rose with the AxKx.

Seed picked up outs with the 884 flop and Q turn but the Q river ended his run in just five hands.

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

Around 30,000 was in the pot as Elliot Smith and an opponent saw the turn on a board of 4267.

The cutoff then bet 20,000 before Smith, in early position, moved all in for 75,000. His opponent went deep into the tank, taking several minutes to consider the decision.

Smith spent the time kneeling on the ground as his opponent continued to tank. The cutoff eventually apologized to the table and slid his cards back to the dealer as Smith took down the pot.

Chris Hunichen and Daniel Lowery were recently eliminated from this section.

"Indian Poker Wizard" Deevara Shows Off a River Trick

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

In a five-way pot, action on the 964 flop was checked through before Rahul Deevara bet 4,300 from the cutoff on the 3 turn.

Abdullah Al-Shanti then raised to 11,000 on the button as the table folded fold to Deevara, who moved all in for 38,000. Al-Shanti called with 75 for a turned straight, while Deevara had 66 for a set.

Deevara needed to fill up on the river to survive, and the dealer flipped over the 3 to complete his full house and earn Deevara a double up.

"The Indian poker wizard," Deevara said.

Ethan Yau
Ethan Yau

Logan Hoover raised to 2,200 and earned three callers including Ethan Yau in the small blind. The flop brought 964 and the action checked to Hoover, who bet 1,800. It folded back to Yau who went for a check-raise to 7,000 and Hoover came along for the ride.

Yau then led the K turn for 14,000 but Hoover came back with a raise to 35,000 for Yau to call.

The 3 river was checked by Yau and Hoover tossed in a green T-25,000 chip for a final stab at the pot. Yau called and no showdown followed, as Hoover sent his cards into the muck.

Having started the day with a shorter stack, Yau has more than quadrupled the amount since.
