Aaron Massey

There was all in action preflop between Brett Apter from the cutoff and Aaron Massy on the button with Massey's stack at risk.

Brett Apter: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Aaron Massey: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}

Massey was ahead with his made hand until the {6-Spades}{q-Hearts}{10-Spades} flop paired Apter's queen.

The {5-Spades} turn was no help to Massy as he needed to spike a third snowman to stay alive.

The {9-Spades} completed the board on the river giving both players the flush but Apter's was better eliminating Massey from the tournament.

Nick Riali opened for 7,000 on the button and Nitis Udorpim three-bet jammed for 79,000 from the small blind. Action folded back around to Riali who thought for a moment then called.

Nick Riali: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Nitis Udorpim: {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Riali was ahead with his made hand and nothing changed after the {10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop.

The {k-Clubs} turn however put Udorpim in a commanding lead and Riali needed to spike the river to eliminate Udorpim.

Unfortunately for Riali, the river fell the {q-Spades} giving Udorpim two-pair and the double up leaving Riali with just one 500 chip.

While PokerNews is here offering live updates from the Main Event and High Roller, we’d be remiss if we didn’t tell you about the full schedule of side events that have been playing out over the past week at the World Series of Poker Circuit Harrah's Las Vegas.

In Event #1: $250 NLH, 362 runners created a $72,400 prize pool that was paid out to the top 55 players. Among those to cash but fall short of the final table were Steve Foutty (11th - $1,075), James Nortier (13th- $886), Anthony Cirrito (19th - $634), Joseph Young (27th - $505), and Chris Wallace (36th - $436).

In the end, it was Missouri native Joe Walters who collected every chip in play to capture his first ring along with a $14,838 payday.

Walters won his first World Series of Poker Circuit ring for taking down the opening event at the Harrah's Las Vegas World Series of Poker Circuit. Walters also has the honor of calling himself the first Harrah's Las Vegas Circuit ring winner this decade. The last time the WSOP Circuit was at this property was in 2005.

"It feels good," said Walters. "It was my goal at the beginning of the year to earn a ring."

This marks Walters third Circuit cash of the season and fourth of his career. He made a deep run at the new Ameristar St. Charles stop in September in a $600 No-Limit Hold'em event, but fell just short of the final table, finishing in 11th place for $1,292.
