The field is up to over 100 entries after another three levels of play. The players are now taking their second 15-minute break of the day with late registration open until the end of level 12.
Jason Lizakowski limped in on the button and Thomas Zabka came along from the small blind. Christian Donno raised to 2,000 from the big blind and both opponents called.
The flop came 9♣8♦4♠ and Donno continued with a bet of 2,500. Both Lizakowski and Zabka stuck around for the 5♠ on the turn. Donno fired out another bet of 5,000 and only Zabka called this time.
The river was the 10♣ and Donno threw in a third barrel of 10,000. Zabka finally let his hand go and Donno flashed K♣K♦ as he raked in the pot.
David Beasley kicked things off with a raise from under the gun and Charles Bolton three-bet on his left. Janos Cselovszki stuck in a four-bet to 15,000 on the button and Beasley five-bet jammed all in for 31,700. Bolton reshoved all in for around 79,000 and Cselovszki went into the tank before reluctantly folding.
David Beasley: A♠Q♣
Charles Bolton: K♠Q♠
Beasley was in a dominating position but it was Cselovszki who was frustrated after seeing his opponent's hands. The board ran out 7♠7♦2♦3♠8♦ for Beasley to double up but it was evident that Cselovszki folded the best hand.

On a flop of K♠10♥10♦, Josiah Moore and his opponent wasted little time getting all of their chips in the middle. Moore had the larger of the two stacks with his opponent at risk for around 45,000.
Opponent: 10♣2♣
Josiah Moore: K♥K♦
Moore flopped a full house and his opponent was drawing to just a single out for a massive pot. The 8♠ turn and 8♥ river changed nothing and Moore collected a big pot to sit atop the leaderboard.

They say there's no rest for the wicked. And wicked is exactly what Garrett Dwire did on his first trip to the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas this summer. The St.Paul, Minnesota native outlasted a 4,622-player field to capture a WSOP gold bracelet and $210,000 in one of the last events of the summer - known as the Summer Saver.
Dwire is now back on his home turf in Minnesota and ready to battle for another title at the Roughrider Poker Tour $640 Main Event with some heavier pockets. The 24-year-old is hoping to back up the largest win of his young poker career with another victory and add to his ever-growing resume over the next couple of days.
His close friend and fellow poker pro, Joseph Osterbauer, also in his winner's photo, has just joined the field as well.
