Tony Ruberto bet about 125,000 on a flop of 
, almost enough to put Jason Riesenberg all in. Riesenberg slid his two tall towers of chips in, and Ruberto called.
Ruberto: 
Riesenberg: 
Riesenberg was in total command, as Ruberto needed runner-runner. The 
gave him hope if he could snag another lady, but the 
was a brick on the river.

Bobby Mapp, who got into this event after his ten grandchildren each pitched in $1,000 toward the buy-in, limped under the gun and inspired Martin Jacobson and Austin Buchanan to do the same from the cutoff and button respectively. Tatiana Barausova then shoved her stack of 75,000 from the small blind, and Mapp thought for a bit before making the call. Jacobson and Buchanan both folded and the cards were turned up.
Mapp:
Barausova: 
Barausova had some kicker problems, and they didn't get resolved on the 
flop. The 
turn was kind to her as it gave her an open-ended straight draw, but it didn't come in as the 
blanked on the river. Mapp was pushed the pot while Barausova failed to make it to the dinner break.

Jing Wang checked to Nick Yunis on a completed board of 
, and he fired out a bet of 121,000 - roughly a third of the pot.
Wang tanked for several minutes until the clock was call on him, and he eventually announced a call. Yunis was hesitant to show his hand, signaling that Wang was good, but Wang wanted to see.
Yunis begrudgingly tabled for jack high, and Wang turned over 
. The former fell to 162,000 chips, while the latter is up to 1.3 million.

Level 17 of the 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event has come to a close! The remaining 444 players are now on a 90-minute dinner break.
Michael Finstein became a name to remember during this level, soaring to the top of the chip counts in two key hands. In Finstein's first key encounter, he made a full house of tens full of nines against Rocky McNatt's nines full of kings. This hand crippled McNatt and Finstein was pushed the 1.75 million-chip pot. Soon after, Finstein climbed the chip counts even higher, making another full house - this time eights full of sixes - to send Lisa Tehan to the rail. Finstein had right around two million in chips after the conclusion of that hand and goes into the dinner break with 1.924 million. This puts him second in chips behind Dan Smith, who is the chip leader with 1.976 million. Other big stacks include Mehrdad Yousefzadeh (1.826 million) and Andoni Larrabe (1.78 million).
Mark Herm crossed the million-chip mark in a hand that took roughly ten minutes to complete. Herm was deep in the tank after pressure from Eddie Ochana. Herm spent eight minutes thinking before making a correct call with pocket queens. His queens held through the river, sending Ochana to the river and allowing him to take down a sizable pot.
Several familiar faces were eliminated from play this level including WSOP.com qualifier Cody Gorman, Ryan Julius, Laurence Grondin, Steve Brecher, Larry Ormson, Tony Hachem, Darren Rabinowitz, JJ Liu, Matt Marafiotti,Vinny Pahuja and Phil Galfond. Also hitting the rail was Ronnie Bardah, ending his historic run of a fifth WSOP Main Event cash in a row.
Our very own Sarah Grant recently caught up with Day 1a chip leader Martin Jacobson who is still alive and thriving in the event. Be sure to check it out below.
