Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

A player in the cutoff moved all in for around 8,000 and the button called. Tom Gottlieb then reraised to 18,000. "You would've been better off against my hand," the button told the at-risk player as he folded, saying he had ace-jack.

All-In Player: Q♥Q♠ All in
Tom Gottlieb: K♣K♦

Gottlieb had picked up kings to leave his opponent at risk of elimination. The board ran out J♦2♣6♣9♣7♥ and Gottlieb's kings remained in the lead to narrow the field by one.

"I wish I just flat-called," Gottlieb said after the hand.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action folded to a player in middle position who raised to 4,500, when Brian Oshust in the hijack three-bet to 15,000. When action folded back to the player in middle position, he made the call.

The flop came 4♠8♣K♦ and the middle position player checked to Oshust, who bet out 20,000. His opponent then raised Oshust all in for 78,000, and Oshust snap called.

Brian Oshust: A♠A♥ All in
Middle Position: A♦J♦

Oshust had his opponent crushed with his pocket aces, needing to fade running cards to stay in the tournament. When the 9♣ hit the turn, it left his opponent drawing dead. Once the 4♣ came on the river, Oshust secured the double up.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Nazar Buhaiov was on the river as the board read 5♦3♦5♥3♥J♠. The pot had 76,000 in it. Buhaiov made a small bet of 15,000. His opponent stewed it over for quite a long time despite the small bet before eventually laying it down as Buhaiov took another pot to move his stack near half a million.

Lech Finds The Hero Call

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Michael Lech called in the small blind and another player checked his option in the big blind.

The flop rolled out 9♦6♦4♥ and Lech bet 2,500 which his opponent called.

Both players checked the Q♦ turn to the K♥ river where Lech checked over to his opponent who bet 5,000 which had Lech squirming in his chair uncomfortably.

After some thought, Lech tossed in a single chip and his opponent whipped his cards into the muck frustrated. The WSOP bracelet winner took down the pot without any showdown necessary.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of 7♠6♦3♥, Long Long led out for 5,000 from the big blind before an opponent under the gun raised to 15,000.

Long then reraised to 55,000, sending his opponent deep into the tank. "This is probably a really bad fold," Long's opponent said as he eventually folded two queens after several minutes.

Long showed 4♣2♦ as he took the pot. "Hit him with a two-by-four," a tablemate said.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Ethan Yau raised from early position which got the action to fold around to Marco Petrusch in the big blind, who shoved for around 15,000. Yau snap-called.

Marco Petrusch: A♠8♥ All in
Ethan Yau: Q♦Q♠

Petrusch was behind but was momentarily ahead when the dealer showed an A♥ in the window, after a few seconds pause, rest of the flop was revealed with the Q♥5♣ giving Yau a set.

Petrusch did pick up some outs on the 8♠ turn but the 4♦ river wasn't what he needed, which meant he was eliminated in the closing level of Day 2d.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

On the PokerGo stream, there was a big preflop set up hand. Robert Eichele picked up Q♥Q♦ and raised to 3,500. Sandrine Phan woke up with the A♠A♣ and flatted. Barry Hutter looked down at the K♠K♦ on the button and three bet to 12,000.

Eichele then four-bet to 29,000. Phan played with her chips while deciding on the next action before she five-bet to 63,500.

Hutter then took close to a minute before releasing his pocket kings, only surrendering six big blinds to the pot. Eichele then foled his queens after thinking for a while as the players went on the break after the hand.

Sandrine Phan	308,000 211,500	211,500
