Day 7 of the 2023 World Series of Poker is in full swing inside Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
There have already been some highs and lows for the players competing. Dan Shak snagged the last $100,000 bounty prize in the Event #3: $1,000 Mystery Millions while 2022 Global Poker Index (GPI) female player of the year Cherish Andrews suffered a brutal bad beat to burst the money bubble in Event #12: $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em Freezeout.
Phil Hellmuth also has the chance to get his 17th WSOP bracelet, as he is one of the final 55 players in Event #11: $600 No-Limit Hold'em Deepstack.
Action began with a player limping from under the gun followed by Fernando "Jnandez" Habegger betting 10,000 from early position. Millard Hale then three-bet to 33,000 from the cutoff, and action folded back around to Habegger. After taking some time to consider his options, Habegger moved all-in for slightly more and Hale quickly made the call to put Habegger at risk.
Fernando Habegger: K♠Q♦Q♥8♣
Millard Hale: A♥A♣J♥8♥
The board ran out A♠3♥10♣Q♣9♠. Hale had Habegger dominated with a bigger set on the turn and made a queen-high straight on the river to secure the knockout and scoop a respectable pot.

Action was picked up on the turn with the board showing 6♣9♠4♥5♦10♣ and about 30,000 in the middle. Yuri Dzivielevski checked and then called a 10,000 bet from his opponent in late position. Dzivielevski then checked the 10♣ river and his opponent checked behind. Dzivielevski showed A♠A♣10♥10♦ for a rivered set which was good enough to take down the pot.

A player raised to 10,000 from under the gun and Sarah Sherman called in the hijack. The small blind then three-bet to 36,000. The original raiser got out of the way, leaving Sherman to call.
The flop came 5♦J♠Q♥ and the small blind — who had already said that he was pot-committed — shoved his final 22,000 in chips. Sherman called and flipped over A♣2♣K♦J♦, which was enough to take the pot against A♥K♠J♣7♣.

On a board of 4♦8♥3♦4♠10♠, Zack turned over 8♦8♠7♠J♥ for a full house.
His opponent showed 10♦4♥XxXx for a smaller house and walked away from the table.
