Glaser Approaching Three Million

Niveau 19 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 0 ante

Picking action up after the first draw in a three-way pot between Joao Vieira in the big blind, Benny Glaser under the gun, and David "Bakes" Baker in the cutoff, Vieira checked to Glaser, who bet and got called by Baker.

Vieira than check-raised, which got calls from both opponents. Vieira patted his hand while Glaser drew one and Baker drew two.

Vieira led out with a bet which was called by Glaser, but Baker folded to leave the pot heads-up to the final draw.

Both players now stood pat and Vieira checked to Glaser who placed a bet. Vieira then check-raised again, leaving Glaser with a decision.

After about a minute in the tank, Glaser flicked in a call and was pleased with what he saw.

Vieira showed 8x7x6x4x2x, but Glaser had him pipped with 8x6x4x3x2x.

Glaser would add more chips shortly after, taking a pot from Michael Rodrigues after getting three bets in pre-draw and then getting a bet on the first and second draws before Rodrigues folded to another bet after the third draw.

Jason Papastavrou Eliminated in 8th Place ($33,087)

Niveau 19 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 0 ante

Jason Papastavrou raised in the cutoff and got a call from Julien Martini in the big blind.

Each player drew two, and after Martini check-raised a bet from Papastavrou, Papastavrou called with less than one bet left.

Martini stood pat and bet, while Papstavrou needed one card but called for his last 20,000 chips.

Martini remained pat holding 8x5x4x3x2x while Papastavrou still needed one card, holding 6x5x3x2x and needing to pull a seven.

Papastavrou instead paired his deuce, ending his run in 8th place and setting up the final table.

Niveau 18 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

Joao Vieira raised from under the gun and was three-bet by David "Bakes" Baker in the hijack. Action folded to Alexander Wilkinson in the big blind, who called cold. Vieira called as well for a three-way pot.

Everyone drew one on the first draw and then action checked through.

On the second draw, each player took one off again and then Wilkinson led out for a bet. Vieira folded, but Baker raised after a bit of thought. Wilkinson reraised all in and Baker called to put him at risk.

Both stood pat on the end and Wilkinson turned up 8x7x5x3x2x. It was no good, however, against the 8x5x4x3x2x of Baker and Wilkinson was sent out in ninth place.

Niveau 18 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

Even though Jason Koon bagged Day 1 of Event #40: $250,000 Super High Roller at the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP), he will not be joining the other High Rollers for Day 2. The high-stakes star had his stack pulled from the largest buy-in event of the summer after he received word that his wife was in labor with their second child just in time for Father's Day.

Koon, who bagged a stack of 1,740,000 — a little more than the starting stack of 1,500,000 — will be fully refunded for his $250,000 entry, according to WSOP officials.

"Prior to the end of registration in event 40 with more than a starting stack, entrant Jason Koon requested a void and refund so as to accompany his wife to the hospital who had gone into labor," WSOP told PokerNews. "Request was granted. Issuing a refund before the end of registration is clearly within the discretion of tournament officials and common practice at WSOP. We wish Jason Koon and all our WSOP dads a happy Father's Day."

George Alexander Eliminated in 10th Place ($25,822)

Niveau 18 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

George Alexander raised in the cutoff and got called by Benny Glaser in the big blind. Alexander had only 20,000 chips remaining.

Each player drew three, and after Glaser checked, Alexander committed the remainder of his chips, which Glaser called.

The players then drew one on the second draw and Glaser stood pat on the final draw.

Alexander then went into the tank to decide whether to pat as well or draw.

During his nearly three minutes of decision making he said "I think I'm just dead either way."

Ultimately he chose to draw one card and saw that he was up against a rough nine (9x8x7x6x4x).

Alexander was drawing very live with his 9x5x4x2x, but peeled another 9x, pairing up to end his day quickly in tenth place.

Glaser and Martini on the Verge of Joining WSOP Five-Timers Club in Triple Draw Championship

If the World Series of Poker gave out silky velvet jackets for winning five bracelets like Saturday Night Live does for stars who host the show five times, they might have to order more the way things are going this summer.

With Josh Arieh, Brian Yoon, and John Monette having already become the 33rd-35th members of the WSOP five-timers club in recent weeks, Benny Glaser or Julien Martini could become number 36 if the cards fall their way Saturday on the final day of Event #38: $10,000 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw Championship.

Glaser leads the remaining ten players with 1,695,000 chips while Martini is still well in the mix with 660,000 chips. Potential future five-timers club members Joao Vieira (1,105,000 – 2 bracelets), David "Bakes" Baker (750,000 – 3 bracelets) are also within striking distance.

8	Oscar Johansson	Sweden	500,000	25
9	George Alexander	United States	120,000	6
10	Andrew Wilkinson	United States	85,000	4

When play resumes at 1 p.m. in the Horseshoe Event Center, the final ten will all be looking to build on the $25,822 that they’ve already earned, with their eyes on the $311,428 first prize and that cherished WSOP bracelet.

The day will start at Level 18 with blinds of 10,000 / 20,000 and limits of 20,000 / 40,000, with play continuing until a champion, be it a five-timer, first-timer, or otherwise, is crowned.
