Metaal cut out a call and put it in the middle, after which the 6♦ river was checked to showdown. Metaal tabled 7♥7♦ for kings and sevens, and Allen's cards hit the muck in frustration.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Noah Goldman opened on the button to 1,000 and got two calls from Stephane Genet and Eyal Yanai in the small and big blind respectively.

The K♠8♠9♣ flop saw Goldman bet 1,000 after the blinds checked. Genet folded, but Yanai called.

The 3♠ saw Yanai check-call Goldman's 3,000 bet.

Both checked to showdown after seeing the 9♥ river.

Goldman showed 7♠6♣ and Yanai showed 10♥4♦ with both players having missed the straight. The ten was enough to give Yanai the small pot.

Yanai remarked after the hand, "I don't know how I missed everything, I have days like this and today is one of those days."

Blind Straddling at the Main Event?

Angela Defoe is currently looking to make a "comeback story" at the Main Event, with just under half a starting stack to her name. When PokerNews was at her table, Julian Parmann offered her his large (in comparison) stack to take a photo with, before realising his stack was large enough to get splashy.

The very next hand, Parmann announced a "blind straddle" to 800 chips. They made for a nice donation to the stack of Javier Perez, who isolated to 3,800 from the big blind.

Three ways on a flop of J♣3♣J♠, Dakota Baggett checked from early position and Martin Gerloff checked from middle position to Artur Martirosian, who bet 5,000. Both Baggett and Gerloff called.

Action checked through on the 5♥ turn and then Baggett led out for a hefty bet of 35,000 on the 7♣ river.

Gerloff called, Martirosian got out of the way, and Baggett tabled 5♣5♠ for a turned full house.

Gerloff shook his head and sent his card into the muck — conceding the large pot to Baggett.
