A player was all in for 106,500 and at risk against Manuel Pochat.
Opponent: Q♠Q♥
Manuel Pochat: A♦7♦
The 9♦6♥3♥ flop kept the ladies in front, but the A♥ turn left the at-risk player needing a queen or heart to survive. The A♣ completed the board and Pochat scored the knockout to hold the chip lead in the room.
WSOP officials announced the “WSOP Paradise Parlay” by GGPoker, which is a chance for players that cashed in the 2023 WSOP to parlay their summer success into additional cash during 2023 WSOP Paradise.
It’s very simple – if a player earns 10 cashes between the two series, they will receive $5,000; if they make three final tables, they’ll get $25,000; and if they capture two bracelets, well then a hefty $100,000 additional prize awaits!
Support for the WSOP’s new promotion was overwhelmingly positive.
Action folded to Manuel Pochat who raised to 12,000 from the hijack before getting called by the button and Shaun Deeb in the big blind, leading to a 4♦A♦7♦ flop.
All three players checked through, bringing out the J♥ on the turn.
Deeb reached for chips and led out with a bet of 24,000. Pochat called and the button got out of the way, prompting the dealer to put the 3♠ out on the river.
Deeb paused briefly before reacjing for chips again and coming out with a bet worth 68,000. Pochat quickly folded and sent the pot to Deeb who continues chipping up.
Stephen Song raised to 10,000 from under the gun and found one caller in Alex Keating from the button leading to a A♦6♠6♣ flop.
Song checked over to Keating who checked it back to bring the 5♠ out on the turn.
Song checked it over to Keating again, but Keating had no such plans to check it back again as he reached into his stack and came back out with a bet of 13,000. Song wasted little time in making the call to see the A♥ fall on the turn.
Song checked a third time and Keating entered a short tank, even burning a timebank as he pondered his action. Eventually, he would reach into his stack once more and toss out a bet of 75,000. Song quickly folded only to see Keating table the J♣10♦ for the stone-cold bluff.
