Level 12 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Jessica Tesul
Jessica Tesul

Jessica Tesul moved all in preflop for 19,000 and was called by Daniel Rezaei and Daniel Lange.

The flop came K54 and Lange bet 15,000 which got Rezaei to move out of the way.

Jessica Tesul: JJ
Daniel Lange: K9

Lange connected on the flop and improved to trips after the AK completed the board to send Tesul to the exit. The 2022 WSOP Ladies Champion told PokerNews that she wasn't going to rebuy and would come back fresh and relaxed for tomorrow's WSOPE Main Event.

Llapi Sends Out Pastore

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Jonathan Pastore
Jonathan Pastore

Mario Llapi opened to 4,000 from middle position and received calls from Stefan Schoss in the hijack, Jonathan Pastore in the small blind and Johannes Steibel in the big blind.

The flop came Q83 and action checked around to Llapi who bet 5,000. Schoss got out of the way before Pastore moved all in for roughly 30,000. Steibel folded and Llapi made the call with a covering stack to put Pastore at risk.

Jonathan Pastore: Q9
Mario Llapi: 33

Pastore had flopped top pair but needed running cards to pull ahead of Llapi's flopped set. The Q gave Pastore trips but the 2 river was a blank. Llapi's threes full of queens were good at showdown and he collected a sizable pot while Pastore was sent to the rail.

Cickekdemir Makes Stupendous Hero Call

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

With 17,000 in the middle on a completed board of KJ85J, the small blind bet 11,500.

Ertan Cicekdemir went into the tank and eventually found the call. The German tabled 98 for jacks and eights, which was good enough to beat the small blind's bluff with Q9.

Level 10 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Youngshin Im opened to 3,200 from early position and Roland Israelashvili called from the button. Vivian Saliba moved all in for 12,100 from the small blind and Im made the call. Israelashvili reshoved, covering both opponents, and Im made the call putting herself at risk.

Vivian Saliba: 55
Youngshin Im: 66
Roland Israelashvili: A7

The flop came 3J9 giving Israelashvili a plethora of outs to score the double knockout. The 10 turn was a blank and the 5 river gave Saliba a set of fives to secure a full triple up while Im took the side pot with her pocket sixes.

Curatolo Leaves Tantillo on the Brink

Level 10 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Fausto Tantillo
Fausto Tantillo

Earlier Nolan Curatolo left himself with 1,000 chips, but failed to spin it up and has since reentered. Fausto Tantillo in the hijack bet 2,400 and Curatolo called on the button.

Both players checked the flop of K102, but Tantillo bet 2,200 on the 7 turn which was called by Curatolo.

The 7 came on the river and Tantillo checked. Curatolo over-jammed for 26,500. Tantillo went into the tank for a couple of minutes before opting to call. Curtalo tabled KJ for a flush and Tantillo showed the 10 before mucking his hand.

Tantillo was left with 1,300 chips after the exchange. Can he spin up where his fellow countryman couldn't?
