Niveau 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Michael Carr, who busted Gene Calden during the last level, just took down another pot with a big bet on the river.

Carr was in the hijack and heads-up against an opponent under the gun on a board of 3♦J♦Q♣8♣. The under-the-gun player bet 2,700 and Carr came back with a raise to 5,900.

His opponent called to the 7♠ river, where Carr fired out 17,500. The under-the-gun player tanked for about a minute before folding his hand as Carr showed 10♣9♣ for the straight.

"I had a really strong hand," his opponent told him.

Niveau 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Lily Kiletto opened to 1,200 from early positon and Michael Niceta called next to act, followed by the small blind the big blind.

The dealer spread a flop of J♦8♠4♠ and the binds checked before Kiletto continued with a bet of 2,200. All three players made the call.

The 7♥ fell on the turn and the blinds checked, as did Kiletto before Niceta fired a bet of 5,500. This time only the big blind check-called.

When the Q♦ hit the river, the big blind checked and Niceta kept his foot on the gas with a bet of 12,000. His opponent tanked for about 20 seconds and tossed in the call to see the bad news as Niceta tabled J♥J♠ for top set on the flop.

Heads-up on a board of 10♣8♠6♠K♦ and around 15,000 in the pot, a player in the small blind bet 4,000 and Sean Legendre called from the cutoff.

The river came the 9♣ and the small blind led out for another 11,000. Legendre leaned over the table and tanked for a moment before flicking in a chip to signify a call.

His opponent turned over A♥Q♣ and Legendre had A♣K♥ for top pair to win the pot.

Hellmuth Makes His Grand Appearance with Jungleman as his Guest

Niveau 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

It's the spectacle that many people wait for at the World Series of Poker Main Event. Always on the final starting flight, Phil Hellmuth makes his grand appearance midway through the day while everyone else has their heads down trying to grind away in the biggest poker tournament of their lives.

In the 2023 rendition, Hellmuth entered the Horseshoe grand ballroom as the Stage Master while Daniel 'Jungleman' Cates accompanied him as a lion. Hellmuth also brought in 17 models that were in lion costumes, representing the 17 WSOP bracelets he has won in his career. The 17th bracelet came earlier this year in Event #72: $10,000 Super Turbo Bounty.

Both players have taken their seats with a fresh starting stack of 60,000 chips just prior to the players going on break. As usual, many of the Hellmuth fans were lined up to grab a picture with the 1989 WSOP Main Event champion. Hellmuth will be making his way to the feature table when the cards go back in the air and Cates will be not far off in the distance, seated in the Gold section.

Erick Lindgren raised from late position to 700 and was called by the player on the button and the big blind. The flop came out 4♠J♦Q♠ and all players checked.

On the river J♣ had Lindgren check and the button bet 5,000. Lindgren made the call. The button turned over Q♣8♣ for a miss and Lindgren turned over A♥A♣ for two pair.

Niveau 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Gene Calden, the 100-year-old World War II veteran who was the oldest player in Main Event history, was just sent to the rail at the hands of Michael Carr.

According to Carr, Calden made two pair with Kx8x on a flop of Kx8x7x and check-raised from the big blind. Carr, on the button, called and made a straight on the 4♣ turn holding 6x5x. Calden got his last 19,000 in the middle but couldn't improve on the river.

The players at adjacent tables gave Calden a round of applause as he made his way to the exit, while Carr got out of his seat to shake his hand. Calden made Main Event history here today, but his run came to an end on the second level.
