Riddle Wrapped Up in an Enigma
Niveau 9
: 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
If a poker hand is possible, then odds are that it'll happen in this Main Event. With thousands of hands being played there sometimes just happens to be a complete oddity that stumps both players and dealers alike.
Bert Riddle opened to 5,000. Unbeknownst to him another player, Jody Fayant, had called on the button.
"Seeing as you showed earlier," Riddle said, pointing to a different player at the table. "I'll show. I'll be friendly." Riddle then exposed face up on the table thinking he had won the hand.
The dealer pointed out that Fayant had called and the dealer said that the hand would continue but with Riddle's hand known to Fayant.
The flop was and both players checked. The turn was the and Riddle checked. Fayant bet 10,000 and Riddle called.
The river was the 
and Riddle checked again and Fayant bet 10,000 again. Riddle called. Fayant showed for top pair and took down the pot.

Chris Dotson Sees 2019 WSOP Poker Dream Come to an End
Niveau 9
: 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Oddschecker competition winner Chris Dotson has seen his dream of winning the 2019 WSOP Main Event come to an end.
His elimination escaped us but Dotson was kind enough to fill us in on some details after the fact. As he told it, he had grown short and upon coming back from the dinner break found a spot to get his last 17,000 all in preflop holding 
.
He was up against two opponents who held 
and 
respectively. Dotson was looking for either an ace or king to take the lead, but instead, the board ran out with a queen to give the original worst hand the winner.
While Dotson's time in the Main Event is over his 2019 WSOP may not be. The 35-year-old boiler operator from New Jersey said he may yet fire the $1,111 Little One for One Drop.
