Pot-Limit Omaha

Dan Matsuzuki raised to 1,200,000 in middle position and Daniel Moravec was the only caller in the big blind, peeling from a very shallow stack of just four big blinds. The dealer spread out and Moravec checked. Matsuzuki bet enough to put Moravec all in for his last remaining crumbs and the latter called it off for 1,330,000 total.

Moravec was looking for a lot of help if he was to survive and picked up a flush draw on the turn to go with his non-club gutshot. The river, however, was neither of those outs and he became the first to depart from today's final table.

Kempe Doubles to Second in Chips

Niveau 37 : 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Ashish Ahuja, involved in few pots so far on this final table, had a stab at a flop by making up the full 600,000 from the small blind, but folded his hand when Matsuzuki raised the pot (1,800,000).

The next hand, Daniel Moravec, having kept a firm grip on his early triple up chips, opened to 2,100,000, called by Rainer Kempe in the big blind. The flop of saw Kempe check-raise all in for a couple of hundred thousand more than Moravec's 4,500,000 bet, an offer he couldn't refuse.

Moravec:
Kempe:

Kempe's club flush materialised on the turn, the river bringing a useless broadway straight for Moravec, whose stack drops into the danger zone of four big blinds.

Event #42: $600 Mixed No-Limit Hold'em / Pot-Limit Omaha Deepstack Final Table Begins at 12 Noon

Event #42: $600 Mixed No-Limit Hold'em / Pot-Limit Omaha Deepstack returns to award its bracelet today, as eight survivors from a total field of 2,403 reconvene under the impressive stage lighting of the Amazon feature table to play alternate rounds of PLO and NLHE until only one of them remains.

That winner, who will take home $194,759, will be one of these players:

Seat	Player	Country	Chip Count
1	Daniel Moravec	United States	2,950,000
2	Stephen Ma	United States	6,325,000
3	Adam Lamphere	United States	17,200,000
4	Ashish Ahuja	India	6,975,000
5	Dan Matsuzuki	United States	14,000,000
6	Rainer Kempe	Germany	8,000,000
7	Aristeidis Moschonas	Greece	7,325,000
8	Raghav Bansal	India	9,300,000

For a $600 buy-in event, the competition, especially as Day 2 whittled an in-the-money field to a final table, was fierce, with experience at the highest levels in both poker disciplines on display throughout. There is, however, only one prior bracelet winner still in the running and that is second-in chips Dan Matsuzuki, who took down the 2018 $10,000 Seven-Card Stud Championship.

Gunning for his first bracelet is hugely successful No Limit Hold’em High Roller specialist Rainer Kempe, who has overcome the toughest fields in tournament poker for years but has yet to win WSOP gold. In the chip lead is Adam Lamphere, who has a number of WSOP cashes under his belt and a comfortable buffer of chips, with nearly double the stack of anyone except Matsuzuki.

Fellow finalists Aristeides Moschonas and Raghav Bansal both took the chip lead during Day 2 without ultimately retaining it, the latter being one of two finalists from India where - as it was being discussed with two tables left - Pot Limit Omaha is especially popular.

Prizes to be awarded:

Place	Prize
1	$194,759
2	$120,374
3	$88,410
4	$65,482
5	$48,914
6	$36,852
7	$28,006
8	$21,469

The players assemble at 12 noon; live reporting begins when cards return to air, with the live stream scheduled for 1pm on CBS All Access. You can rely on PokerNews to scoop all the action throughout.
