Michael Conoran raised to 100,000 on the button and Thomas Cardona called in the small blind. Conoran then moved all in on the J♠10♠8♠ flop, and Cardona called for his last 710,000.

Thomas Cardona: K♠Q♦ All in
Michael Conoran: A♠A♦

Cardona had straight and flush draws, but he was drawing thin against Conoran's aces and nut flush draw. The 8♥ turn took away some of Cardona's outs, and he also missed the 4♣ river and was sent to the rail on one of the last hands of the night.

Sam Snead raised to 150,000 in middle position. "I'm coming for you," he said to Will Givens.

"I know you are. Sam, I like it, though. I eat people like you all the time," Givens replied.

Alen Bakovic, in the meanwhile, called in the hijack, as did DJ Sharma on the button. Givens also came along from the big blind.

The flop came K♦3♦2♠ and Bakovic bet 175,000. Sharma and Givens called, while Snead got out of the way.

All three players checked the 3♥ turn. Givens then led out for 500,000 on the 5♦ river and Bakovic folded.

"You messing with me, bro? Now I have to pay you," Sharma said to Givens.

"100 percent. I bet into two people. I counted on one of you," Givens replied.

Sharma then raised to 1,200,000, and Givens instantly announced a reraise to 2,500,000. Sharma took a minute before calling, and Givens showed 5♥4♣ for two pair. Sharma, though, had rivered a flush with 10♦2♦.

"Bro, I got full houses. You crazy. You crazy," Givens said as he got up to give Sharma a big hug.

"Big one," Sharma yelled out to his rail.

"Wes Side" Wesley Fei thought he was out of the WSOP Main Event on Day 3. He lost a big pot and was heading out the door before being called back to the table as he still had a few chips left.

The Chinese high roller known for his appearances on Hustler Casino Live took that small stack and built it up to reach Day 5, which began with 533 remaining players at 11 a.m. PT on Friday. He was a tad below average stack with 44 big blinds when the session began. But, given where he was two days earlier, he'll take it.

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Zhao Liu kicked the action off with a raise to 100,000 in the hijack, and faced a three-bet to 280,000 from Marshall Daigle on the button. When the action folded back to Liu, he called.

Liu then opted to check-raise on a 4♠5♣J♣ flop, making it 475,000 after Daigle had continued for 175,000. Undeterred, Daigle called the raise.

Both the 5♥ turn and the 6♥ river were checked through.

"Ace-high", Liu told Daigle, who then tabled his A♦J♥ for two pair to claim the pot, as Liu mucked his hand.

With roughly 350,000 already in the pot on a flop of 10♣A♣9♠, Berkeley Yuan checked from early position and called a bet of 175,000 from Mads Wissing in the cutoff.

Yuan check-called a second barrel from Wissing on the 5♠ turn, this time for 325,000.

The 2♥ completed the board, and Yuan led out for 380,000. Wissing tanked for a while, leaned back in his chair, then flicked in a chip to call.

Yuan revealed A♦10♦ for top two pair, and Wissing furiously mucked his hand.

Will Givens raised to 110,000 under the gun before Joey Weissman reraised to 610,000 in middle position, leaving himself one 5,000 chip behind. Givens called.

Both players checked to the turn on a board of Q♦7♣2♣7♠, where Givens bet. Weissman tossed in his last chip and turned over A♣K♥, but he was already drawing dead as Givens had 7♦6♦ for trips. The river was the 4♠, and Weissman was sent to the rail.

"Tell 'em what time it is! I'm dangerous!" Givens shouted out.

Maxime Chilaud opened to 100,000 from the hijack and Edouard Sacrispeyre three-bet to 325,000 on the button. Chilaud called and the pair saw a 6♣J♠3♥ flop.

Chilaud check-called a 160,000 bet by Sacrispeyre to see the 2♦ turn. Both checked to see the 7♥ river and Chilaud bet 325,000. Sacrispeyre went into the tank and after a few minutes, the clock was called. He was given 30 seconds to act, and he pushed his hand into the muck only after the floor said "three, two, one, hand dead".

Romain Lewis raised to 100,000 from early position to see Boris Kolev three-bet to 160,000 in the cutoff and Lewis called.

The flop rolled out Q♦7♥3♥ and Lewis check-called a bet of 125,000 from Kolev.

On the turn 8♠, Lewis checked once more over to Kolev, who bet 225,000 and Lewis called again.

Both players checked the river 5♣ and Lewis tabled K♠Q♠ for a pair of queens.

"It was a mistake," Kolev said in reference to his three-bet, mucking his hand.

"I was wondering," replied Lewis. "I was thinking, 'Is this a new play, Boris?'"
