Lococo en mode Loco! 123 rescapés seront au Day 6

Niveau 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Alejandro Lococo

Ils ne sont plus que 123 en lice sur le Main Event des WSOP 2022, tous assurés d'un gain de 62 500$! 380 joueurs ont participé au Jour 5 et une petite dizaine de Français s'est qualifiée pour le Day 6 qui se déroulera dans la nuit de mardi à mercredi.

Il faudra atteindre le Top 98 pour gagner un peu plus (73 100$) et cela ne devrait pas poser trop de problème à Alejandro 'PapoMC' Lococo. La star argentine représente PokerStars depuis sa 7e place sur le Main Event 2021... elle a emballé un peu plus de 10 millions de jetons pour le Jour 6... notamment en passant un 6-Bet bluff à tapis contre le Franco-algérien Karim Rebei qui était alors chipleader!

Depuis son deep-run de novembre dernier, Lococo a confirmé en remporté notamment l'Eureka Prague et cumulé plus de 600 000$ de gains supplémentaires. Il reste sur trois cashs sur ce festival WSOP et semble aller tout droit vers une deuxième participation à la finale des WSOP.

"Ce n'était pas mon plan préflop d'aller à tapis pour plus de 100 blindes!" a confirmé l'Argentin à PokerNews. "Nous avions joué des heures ensemble et une tonne de facteurs ont joué dans cette décision. Je pourrais en parler pendant des heures", a-t-il ajouté après ce moment épique de la nuit.

"L'an passé j'ai débuté le Jour 6 avec moins que la moyenne, cette année c'est différent, la stratégie et les décisions ne seront pas les mêmes, les ranges aussi", a-t-il conclu.

Vous pouvez relire la main épique entre les deux hommes, le Français n'a pas manqué de courage mais il a été pris la main dans le sac. Pas de quoi l'empêcher non plus de valider son ticket pour la suite de la compétition.

Côté tricolore, Pierre de Almeida, Serge Chechin, David Rothschild, Matteo Cavalier, Micka Guenni, le finaliste Main Event WSOP 2018 Antoine Labat, Sam Dray et le Franco-Israélien Levy Tzur seront au Jour 6 aussi !

Tenant du titre, Koray Aldemir est lui dans le tournoi depuis 15 jours, il aura un joli stack aussi au Jour 6 et pourrait retrouver le champion 2020 Damian Salas (2,435,000) sur sa route.

Dan Smith
Dan Smith

Les nouveaux vainqueurs WSOP Espen Jorstad, Andrew Yeh et Dan Smith sont en piste pour un 2e bracelet en carrière et sur le festival. Dan Smith a été short un long moment avant d'emballer 2 millions.

"Normalement je ne fais pas la finale, mais je passe de très grands moments, j'essaye de profiter de cette expérience et de donner le meilleur, ce qui arrive arrive", a confié l'Américain après avoir validé son ticket pour le Jour 6.

Deux joueuses sont encore en lice, Shelby Wells (1,900,000) et Efthymia Litsou (11,675,000) n'auront pas le même tapis pour la prochaine journée de compétition. ON retrouve aussi Timur Margolin (1,095,000), [B] et [B][PLAYER="marco-johnson"]Marco Johnson[/PLAYER][/B] (2,820,000) dans la course au plus gros tournoi de poker de la planète.

Demi-finaliste en 2007, Kenny Tran est encore là lui aussi tout comme Andrew Ostapchenko, Frank Funaro, Asher Connif, Rok Gostisa, John Eames, Roland Rokita, Gabi Livshitz ou Johan Schumacher. Le Belge pourrait être en psoition dominante mais il s'est fait craquer les As, il peut rêver d'un retour tout comme Oliver Weis ou Micka Guenni, le Français étant 119e du classement à 123 left...

La partie reprendra à 21 heures, heure française, sur les blindes 40 000 - 80 000 (80 000), cinq niveaux de deux heures sont au programme d'une nouvelle nuit à suivre sur PokerNews !

Zilong Zhang
Zilong Zhang

Zilong Zhang opened to 175,000 with {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} from under the gun and only Dan Smith called on the hijack.

The {10-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop gave Smith a pair as he had the {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. Action checked through. The {j-Diamonds} turn gave Zhang an open-ended straight draw and Zhang bet 235,000. Smith called.

Zhang made Broadway on the {a-Spades} river and sneakily checked the action to Smith who bet 600,000 with his two pair.

Zhang made it 2,230,000 and Smith called while taking a big hit to his newly found big stack.

"I bet too small there," commented Zhang.

Aaron Mermelstein
Aaron Mermelstein

Aaron Mermelstein raised it up from early position and Johan Schumacher three-bet to 500,000 on his left. The action folded back to Mermelstein who just called to see a flop of {q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Hearts}.

Mermelstein check-called a bet of 400,000 from Schumacher and the {3-Diamonds} landed on the turn. Mermelstein checked again and Schumacher slid out a bet of 1,400,000. Mermelstein went into the tank for a couple of minutes before ripping all in for 4,480,000. Schumacher snap-called and the cards were on their backs.

Schumacher turned over {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} but was given the bad news as Mermelstein held {q-Spades}{q-Hearts} for a set of queens. The river was the {2-Clubs} and Mermelstein scored a double up.

Dan Smith

Zilong Zhang, with {q-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, opened to 120,000 and was called by Dan Smith in the big blind with {a-Spades}{2-Diamonds}.

Smith check-called bets of 85,000 and 225,000 to have the board show the {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}.

Smith checked again and Zhang went into the tank. He eventually settled on a jam to put the action on his opponent.

Smith asked Zhang what he thought he held and while Zhang was trying to conjure up a response, he called to scoop the pot.

Brian Rast
Brian Rast

Brian Rast opened to 120,000 and Jon Gisler called in the hijack.

Rast continued for 130,000 on the {10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop and Gisler called. The turn was the {j-Hearts} and Rast sized up for 625,000. Gisler then shoved all in, covering Rast.

Rast had 1,675,000 and muttered to himself while counting out his stack before eventually calling.

Brian Rast: {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Jon Gisler: {j-Spades}{10-Spades}

Rast held top pair but had been undone by the two pair of Gisler. The river {7-Hearts} bricked and the five-time WSOP bracelet-winner was sent to the rail.

Dan Smith jammed for 620,000 with {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades} from middle position and was looked up by Zilong Zhang with {8-Hearts}{2-Spades}.

Zhang flopped best as the dealer fanned the {j-Hearts}{8-Spades}{4-Spades}. Smith sailed into the lead on the {q-Clubs} turn and found the double up on the {6-Hearts} river.

Zilong Zhang

Michael Pickett made it 120,000 with {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} from middle position and Zilong Zhang called with {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts} from the cutoff.

The {a-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop gave Zhang trips and Trickett checked it over to the Las Vegas resident. Zhang bet 85,000 and was called.

The {2-Clubs} turn prompted another check from Trickett and Zhang fired for 265,000. Again Trickett called.

With 1,090,000 in the middle, the {a-Clubs} hit the river, double pairing the board. Trickett made it a trio of checks while Zhang bet for a third time. He sent in another 1,120,000 into the pot to put Trickett in an awkward situation. Tricket ended up calling and saw that Zhang had rivered a full house.

Lococo Goes Lococo!!

Niveau 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Alejandro Lococo
Alejandro Lococo

Alejandro Lococo raised it up from the hijack and Karim Rebei defended from the big blind. The flop came {9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and both players checked to the {k-Spades} on the turn.

Rebei led out with a bet of 140,000 and Lococo raised to 485,000. Rebei responded with a three-bet to 1,135,000 and this is where things got interesting. Lococo announced a raise but put in the wrong amount, therefore was committed to a min-raise of 1,785,000.

Rebei took the opportunity to push out a five-bet to 4,000,000 which put Lococo into the tank for at least six minutes. After looking visibly distressed, Lococo eventually announced all-in for 5,710,000.

"Oops," Rebei said to the rail as he shrugged his shoulders. He still asked for a count and gave it some thought for a couple of minutes and even got the chips ready to call. However, Rebei opted to lay his hand down and Lococo flashed the {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} as he started clapping and shouting "Let's go!" as he dragged in a massive pot.

Snippets of the hand, played on the outer feature table without hole cards, can be seen below (courtesy of PokerGO).

Koray Aldemir's impressive run the 2022 Main Event continued on the secondary feature table. He called Matthew Ezrol's 1,175,000 jam with this {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}.

Ezrol's {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds} were ahead on the {8-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop but Aldemir would make trips on the {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades} runout to send out the middle school math teacher.
