With 680 players showing as remaining on the board, the bubble has quickly approached and a count is being taken. Action will either be hand-for-hand or close to it. Stay tuned.

As action was being paused, Martin Jacobson was seen leaving the tournament area as his WSOP has come to an end. Jacobson had four cashes this summer, most notably was in Event #6: $111,111 HIGH ROLLER for ONE DROP No-Limit Hold'em where he finished in sixth place for $641,382.

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

There was a sizable pot in the middle with a board at the river reading {5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Spades}.

Jason Mercier was first to act in the big blind and he assembled some chips and bet 13,700.

The decision was on Chris Edwards. It didn’t take him long to pay the price to see the cards.

Mercier showed him {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for the straight and collected the pot.

Adam Hendrix Busts Holding Aces

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Adam Hendrix shoved his short stack from under the gun and fellow short-stack Tom Koral moved in behind. No more callers and cards were on their backs.

Adam Hendrix: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}
Tom Koral: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

Before the flop, Hendrix slumped in his seat as if expecting the worst, but allowed himself a nod of the head as the first thee cards hit the felt. The turn had him exhaling and shaking his head, though. The river saw him hand over the remainder of his stack and exit before the money.

“Brutal,” another player said in agreement, “You played the turn great,” he said to Koral.

“It’s important to have the best hand in the end,” Koral agreed.

JC Tran got his remaining chips all in pre-flop versus Sebastian Saffari and Todd Peterson who went to the flop heads up on the side.

The flop was {j-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Clubs} and Peterson checked from early position. Saffari fired out a bet of 7,000 from late position and Peterson called.

The turn was the {9-Hearts} and Peterson check-called Saffari's bet of 21,000.

The river was the {6-Hearts} and this time Peterson led out for 30,000. Saffari didn't look too pleased but called.

Sebastian Saffari: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Todd Peterson: {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
JC Tran: {4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

Saffari's pair of kings held on to take down the main and side pot and JC Tran's summer has come to an end. The two-time bracelet winner has over $5,000,000 in WSOP tournament earnings and cashed six times this summer with his best run coming in Event #38: $10,000 Limit Hold'em Championship where he finished in fifth place for $71,949.

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Lisa La opened for 2,800 and picked up calls from Mikey Wangh on the button and the players in the blinds.

The flop was {8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and it was checked to La who continued for 3,500. Wangh then raised to 7,000 and when the blinds folded, La called.

The turn card was the {9-Diamonds} and a check from La saw Wangh move all in. La quickly call.

Mikey Wangh: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Lisa La: {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

It was La who had made the flush and with the river {2-Clubs} completing the board it was La who doubled through Wangh.
