Upeshka De Silva opened to 2,400 from middle position and was called by the big blind.
The big blind led out for 2,400 on the flop and De Silva called.
Both players checked through the turn to the river where the big blind once again checked. De Silva fired off 15,000 and the big blind snapped it off but mucked when De Silva turned over for the rivered two pair.

David Peters in the cutoff found himself all in and at risk against Ben Yu in the big blind.
David Peters:
Ben Yu:
Peters was behind but did have two live cards. He fell far behind on the flop though the turn, while improving Yu to the nut flush, did leave Peters drawing live to kings and jacks. He was unable to improve, however, on the river, sending him to the rail.
Shortly after the conclusion of the hand, Peters was spotted in the late registration line, suggesting he has opted to re-enter the tournament.

A player on the button moved all in and Yuliyan Kolev called with the effective stack out of the big blind.
Yuliyan Kolev:
Button Player:
Kolev was dominated and would need significant help to survive. He did pair his kicker on the flop but so did his opponent. He was unable to improve on the turn or river, sending him out of the tournament towards the end of the late registration period.

Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, Ron “The Carolina Express” Stanley, 70, was one of the most feared players in the game. In fact, he even went toe-to-toe with the legendary Stu Ungar at the final table of the 1997 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event. It was there that Stanley donned a tuxedo while playing in the intense Las Vegas heat on Fremont Street.
Stanley, who has been playing poker for a living for “at least 50 years,” was recently spotted at the 2022 WSOP and was kind enough to chat with PokerNews.
“My dad used to play poker and he’d take me to the games when I was a kid,” he said about how he learned poker in the first place. “I was watching and it got pretty interesting. He was pretty good at it and I picked it up from him. It’s in my blood I guess.”
While he hasn’t had any major tournament scores since before the Poker Boom, Stanley is still on the grind.
“I play poker 5-6 days a week at least, mostly cash games,” he said. “In Vegas, I mostly play at South Point, but I’ve been in South Carolina for six months playing a lot of home games.”
