Gannon Chips Up

Niveau 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 3,000 ante

Brandon Nicholson opened to 6,000 from the cutoff and was called by Liam Gannon in the big blind.

Both players took one card with Gannon then leading out for 13,000. That bet was met by a fairly swift fold from his opponent to send a small pot Gannon's way as he makes a positive start to Day 2.

Harvey and Khan Chop One Up

Niveau 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 3,000 ante

Mack Khan opened to 5,000 from under the gun and was called by a player in middle position. Thomas Harvey then moved all in for a little under 30,000 from the small blind with Khan making the call with the slightly larger stack. The middle position player got out of the way to put Harvey officially at risk.

Harvey stood pat, showing down 9x6x5x4x3x, while Khan opted to take one holding 6x5x4x3x. With Khan only able to catch an eight to win outright, Harvey was in good shape to secure a full double but was unable to do so as Khan peeled the 9x to match his opponent's hand and chop up the pot.

Berry drew two and Ko one, then Ko continued for 8,500. Berry considered for a moment and then called. Ko showed ten-nine and Berry mucked.

Watson Sends Rheem Out

Niveau 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 3,000 ante

Mike Watson opened to 4,500 from under the gun only to see Chino Rheem move all in for 34,000 out of the big blind. After some thought, Watson called to put his opponent at risk.

Both players stood pat after which Watson tabled 9x8x7x4x2x, a hand that Rheem could not beat, sending him to the rail just a few minutes into Day 2.

Seidel Among Chipleaders on Day 2 of Event #60: $1,500 No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Day 2 of Event #60: $1,500 No-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw at the 2023 World Series of Poker at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas will see 159 players return from a starting field of 548, which created a total prize pool of $731,580. Only 83 of those will make it into the money, securing themselves a minimum of $2,404, but all eyes will be on the top prize of $151,276 along with a WSOP gold bracelet slated to go the eventual winner's way.

A familiar set of names are currently situated in the top three chip counts with tournament regular Michael Trivett leading the way on 401,000. He was able to put some distance between himself and the rest of the field as Hall of Famer and 1988 WSOP Main Event runner-up Erik Seidel is the closest to catching him, sitting on a stack of 259,000. Online and live high stakes crusher Mike Watson rounds out the top three with 208,000.
