Hui Pots The Turn

Niveau 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action was picked up in a pot with 30,000 in the middle on the flop between Loni Hui in late position and two other players in the blinds.

The flop read 9♠7♦Q♣ and action checked through to the J♣ turn where the small blind bet 8,000. The big blind folded and Hui raised the pot to 38,000, which had her opponent shaking his head as he mucked his hand.

"I'm a five card pro," Hui joked as the pot was pushed towards her.

A few tables over, her husband Phil Hui is also still in the hunt as this bracelet-winning couple look to bag tonight.

Anderson Scoops but Moncek Still a Big Stack

Niveau 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Michael Moncek made it 4,000 from the button and was called by both blinds.

The flop fell 8♥4♦Q♣ and a bet of 5,000 received two calls. A turn of Q♠ saw John Anderson all in from the small blind and heads up against Moncek.

John Anderson: A♦Q♦6♥4♥2♥
Michael Moncek: A♠9♦7♦6♣5♥

The river came the 5♦ and Anderson took the pot — but it only made a small dent in Moncek's chip stack.

Meanwhile, on a nearby table, Erik Seidel's tournament came to an end when his A♦Qx9♣5♣4♣ went up against A♣J♠J♦3♠2♦ and the board ran out J♣8♥8♦10♦A♥

Niveau 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The 2023 World Series of Poker is soon to enter its fourth week of festivities, and the contest for WSOP Player of the Year is starting to heat up.

Chad Eveslage was the early frontrunner because of his back-to-back bracelet victories. However, Ian Matakis and Shaun Deeb have surpassed the only double bracelet winner of the series, thanks to a recent run of fine results.

Michael Moncek has also shot up from sixth to fourth in the POY standings after he came close to grabbing his second bracelet of the series in the $10,000 Razz Championship.

Jans Arends rounds out the top five following his sun run in some of the high roller bracelet events. The Dutch poker pro finished in third place in the $50,000 High Roller days before taking down the $100,000 High Roller for $2,576,729, the biggest payout of the 2023 WSOP so far.
