Who Will Walk Away with the Title in Event #47: $1,000 Seniors No-Limit Hold'em Championship?

Kathy Liebert
Kathy Liebert

Will Kathy Liebert be able to win her second WSOP bracelet and cement her spot in the poker hall of fame? Will Ben Sarnoff take his big chip lead and run away with the title? Or will an underdog come from behind and capture their biggest career payday?

There are many questions left to be answered with just five players remaining in Event #47: $1,000 Seniors No-Limit Hold'em Championship here at the 2022 World Series of Poker at Bally's and Paris Las Vegas. The action will get underway bright and early at 11 a.m. local time and last until a champion is crowned with a WSOP gold bracelet and the first-place prize of $694,909.

Sarnoff will come into the day with a healthy chip lead, bagging up 55,000,000 chips after a dominating performance on Day 4. He eliminated opponent after opponent and ran his stack up to more than 75 million at one point, but took a few setbacks late in the day before it was all wrapped up. Sarnoff has had some poker success in the past, but nothing like this, and winning his first WSOP title at the age of 65 would be nothing short of amazing.

However, he will have to contend with the likes of WSOP bracelet winner and all-time poker great Kathy Liebert. The lady dressed in purple with the largest rail in the building will have plenty of support as she looks to conquer the feat that she hasn't done since 2004. Liebert will enter the day in third place with 29,100,000 chips but has plenty of experience to know how to get the job done.

Eric Smidinger also had a successful day yesterday, quietly spinning up his stack to 32,800,000 chips. Smidinger will have family and friends flying into Las Vegas to cheer him on at the final table as he looks to accomplish a once-in-a-lifetime dream of winning a WSOP title. Biagio Morciano (19,000,000) and Charles Mitchell (7,900,000) round out the top five and still have plenty of opportunities to make their dreams come true as well.

The cards will go in the air at 11 a.m. sharp after players pleaded with the tournament staff to allow them to come back to finish the tournament today rather than play it out yesterday. It took a lot of effort but in the end, the players got their wish and were allowed to return for the fifth day. The blinds will resume on Level 36 at 300,000/600,000 with a 600,000 big blind ante. The levels will continue to be 60 minutes in length with a 15-minute break after every two levels.

The PokerNews live reporting team will be on the tournament floor to bring you all of the live updates throughout the day en route to crowning a WSOP champion in this record-breaking field.

Mitchell Scoops First Pot of the Day

Niveau 36 : 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

After a chop between Biagio Morciano and Kathy Liebert, who was nearly blinded out for the first hand, we get to the action between Charles Mitchell and Ben Sarnoff.

Mitchell opened from the hijack for 1,300,000 and Sarnoff defended his big blind.

Both players tapped the table on the {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}{10-Hearts} flop.

The {3-Clubs} arrived on the turn and Sarnoff fired for 800,000. Mitchell called.

On the {7-Spades} river, Sarnoff checked and Mitchell fired out a bet of 1,200,000. While Sarnoff thought about his decision, one of his chips fell out of his hand and rolled towards the pot. "Even the chips want me to make the call," Sarnoff said as he put in the 1,200,000.

Mitchell turned over {j-Hearts}{10-Spades} and it was good enough for the win.

Up and Down for Mitchell

Niveau 36 : 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Eric Smidinger raised to 1,400,000 from under the gun and was called by Charles Mitchell in the small blind. The flop came {10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and both players checked to the {5-Hearts} on the turn.

Mitchell checked again and Smidinger tossed in a bet of 1,600,000. Mitchell called and the {9-Clubs} completed the board. Both players tapped the table and Mitchell showed {a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} for the best hand.

On the next hand, Mitchell raised to 1,400,000 on the button and Biagio Morciano called in the small blind. The flop came {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and Morciano led out with a bet of 1,500,000. Mitchell called and the {4-Diamonds} paired the board on the turn.

Both players checked to the {9-Clubs} on the river and then checked once more. Morciano showed {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs} for a baby flush and that was enough to win the pot.

Mitchell Over 20 Million After Shove Gets Through Liebert

Chip leader Ben Sarnoff opened for 1,200,000 from the hijack and was called by Charles Mitchell in the cutoff and Kathy Liebert in the big blind.

The flop came {q-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and it checked around to Mitchell, who fired out a bet of 1,600,000. Liebert raised to 3,700,000 and after Sarnoff got out of the way, Mitchell quietly pushed his entire stack in front of him.

Liebert asked for a count and after hearing that it was 11,000,000 total, she folded after roughly two minutes. "I'm gonna let you have this one Mitch."

With that, Mitchell has more than doubled his starting stack from the beginning of the day.
