Event #73: $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em MAIN EVENT - World Championship | 2017 World Series of Poker

Players are on dinner break for 90 minutes.

Small blind Adam Friedman had 1,100 in front of him and was facing an all-in shove from an opponent in the big blind.

"I'm probably calling," Friedman said.

After getting a count of 8,125, he did just that.

Friedman: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Big blind: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

The {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} flop gave Friedman a massive lead with aces up, and the {q-Diamonds} turn wasn't the paint his opponent was looking for. The {a-Spades} river improved Friedman to a boat to secure the knockout.

On a board reading {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}, with 3,075 in the pot, Jonathan Duhamel bet 1,800 from middle position. His opponent on the button called.

The turn was the {7-Hearts}, and Duhamel checked. The button bet 2,750, and Duhamel paused for a moment before tossing some chips in the middle to call.

The river was the {10-Spades}. Duhamel checked again, and his opponent tanked for about a minute before checking back. Duhamel tabled {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for a flush, and the button flashed the {k-Clubs} before launching his cards into the muck.

The three-time WSOP bracelet winner and 2010 Main Event Champion is looking to lock up his 41st WSOP cash and maybe even become the next two-time Main Event winner.

Calvin Anderson called an open to 700 and went to a {j-Clubs}{a-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop. Anderson called a continuation bet of 800, bringing the {a-Clubs} on the turn. After the action was checked to him, Anderson bet 1,500 and won the pot.

Lazaro Hernandez has been allowed to sit back down at his table, just two seats away from Tony Bracy, after their altercation earlier in the day. Floor staff and security have been keeping an eye on the table to ensure they are behaving, and so far, there haven't been any problems. Both players have slipped down the chip counts since.

Bracy did get the better of Hernandez in a three-way pot with the board reading {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}{4-Spades}. All three players checked to the {10-Hearts} on the turn. The player in middle position checked, Bracy bet 2,100, and Hernandez called. The river brought the {8-Spades}, and Bracy bet 6,100. Hernandez quickly called, and the cards were tabled.

Bracy showed {j-Spades}{9-Clubs} for a straight, and Hernandez had {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} for two pair. There were no words between the two players throughout the course of the hand.

With about 3,800 chips already in the pot, on a {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop, Liv Boeree was in the hijack and heads-up against the player to her immediate right, who checked. Boeree checked behind, and the turn brought the {4-Clubs}. Boeree's opponent checked, she bet 2,500, and he called. The river was the {8-Clubs}, and both players checked.

Boeree's opponent quickly flipped over {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}, and his overpair was good enough to win the pot.

In a hand that could be seen on the live stream, Jake Schindler three-bet in the big blind with {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs} against a button open. His opponent called.

Schindler checked the {4-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop, and his opponent checked back. The turn was the {j-Spades}, and Schindler checked again. His opponent bet 2,200 into a pot of almost 11,000, and Schindler tanked for a few minutes, studying his foe before moving all in. It was about 20,000, and the player on the button dumped his {a-}{10-} after thinking briefly.
