A player checked to Justin Lunin-Pack on a flop of , and he bet 11,500. The player check-raised all in for an additional 24,500, and Lunin-Pack went deep into the tank.

Just before the last break, we happened upon a big pot involving three players. We're not sure of the action, but we do know there was 50,000 or so in the middle on a board reading . Jaspal Brar, who was in the small blind, had already acted, and Minnesota's Kou Vang had his last 24,300 out in front of him in the big blind.
The under-the-gun player was debating what to do, and ultimately settled on a fold. Brar then hit the tank for a solid five minutes before sliding in a call. Vang's face dropped as his bluff with the had been called. Indeed, Brar made a nice call with the and was awarded the pot while sending Vang back to the Midwest.
As if Table 1 wasn't tough enough, Day 1 chip leader Eric Tracy has occupied an empty spot there and on a hand that ran five minutes into the break he would tangle in a sizable pot with Linglin Zeng. According to players at the table, Tracy opened, the small blind flatted, and Zeng reraised to 6,500. Only Tracy called.
The flop came and Zeng led out for 8,500. Tracy raised it up to 25,500 and Zeng would tank for five minutes while players like Amit Mahkija and Adam Levy looked on. Finally, Zeng called.
The turn was the and Zeng checked to Tracy who bet 40,500. Zeng didn't take as long this time and released her hand. Tracy exhaled visibly and went off to take his break, his stack much healthier at 207,000. Zeng dropped some more and was at 210,500 at the end of the hand.
The fourth level of Day 2c has just come to an end, and that means it's time for the last 20-minute break of the day. When they return, the remaining players will play one more level before bagging and tagging for the night. As usual, the post-dinner action was fast and furious as the pace of eliminations picked up.
One of the first to go in Level 9 was Anna Khait, who made a full house only to be beaten by a superior one from Kyle Bowker. Likewise, 13-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth saw his Main Event dreams come to an end in back-to-back hands. Others who fell in Level 9 were Jennifer Harman, Scott Epstein, Shawn Buchanan, and Bryan "The Icon" Micon, just to name a few.
On the very next hand following getting crippled by Isaac Baron, Mike Ziemba moved all in from early position for 6,800. The player in the big blind called with the , and Ziemba was at risk with the .
The flop, turn, and river ran out , and Ziemba doubled back to 15,000.
On the flop, two players checked, and Mike Ziemba bet 7,000. Behind him, Isaac Baron called, and then the other two players folded.
The turn was the , and Ziemba led with a bet of 15,000. Baron called, and the completed the board. Ziemba checked, and Baron bet 45,000. With just over 50,000 behind, Ziemba went into the tank. Eventually, he called.
Baron tabled the for the nut straight, and Ziemba mucked his hand, losing all but his last 6,900. Baron climbed to over 350,000.
