2024 World Series of Poker
A pot of more than 80,000 emerged to the K♣10♦7♥10♠ turn on which a trio of players checked to see the K♦ river for free.
Daniel Weinman checked and Bijan Shapouri did so in the cutoff. Shoichiro Tamaki then bet 40,000 on the button and Weinman folded after brief consideration. Shapouri pondered only for a few seconds and jammed, Tamaki instantly called.
Shapouri had the K♥J♥ and Tamaki chopped with his A♠K♠.
In four-way action to the J♠4♦2♦ flop, it checked to Karen Boyd and she pushed all-in for around 35,000. Silvio Costa in the hijack folded while Benjamin Winsor in the cutoff reluctantly called for around 25,000, Michael Turello also folded out of the blinds as well.
Benjamin Winsor: A♥J♥
Karen Boyd: A♦A♠
The 4♣ turn and 2♣ river brought no miracle escape for Winsor and the Brit was sent to the rail.
Lloyd Mandel opened the action with a raise to 3,000 from the cutoff. Kurt Fitzgerald three-bet to 8,500 on the button and Mandel called.
Fitzgerald continued for 8,200 on 9♣8♣10♦ before Mandel raised to 21,700. Fitzgerald moved all in for 56,000 and Mandel called.
Kurt Fitzgerald: K♠K♥
Lloyd Mandel: Q♠J♦
The turn 8♠ and river 7♥ ended Fitzgerald's main event run and Mandel stacked up a mountain of chips.
Brent Hart was in middle position and three-bet to 7,500. Ghattas Kortas then four-bet to 22,000 under the gun and Hart called.
The flop came 5♥6♦8♦ and Kortas bet 12,000. Hart called to the J♠ turn, where Kortas bet 35,000 leaving himself just one chip behind. Hart moved all in and Kortas put in his last chip.
Hart turned over J♣J♦ for a turned set and Kortas slammed down A♠A♦. The river was the Q♦ and Hart secured the pot to send Kortas to the rail.
"What can I do? Some people are just luckier than others," Kortas said.
"If you shove the flop I fold," Hart, who won his first WSOP bracelet earlier this summer, replied.
Three ways to the J♦10♣5♦ flop, the action checked to Bart Lybaert and he made it 3,000 to go. Denise Pratt and the small blind called to see the 4♦ on the turn. It once more checked to Lybaert and his second barrel for 12,000 took down the pot without resistance.
The seat of Irene Carey was open and Alen Bakovic confirmed she had been eliminated. According to him and Christopher Annouza, Carey raised and then called all-in for around 24,000 with pocket queens. Annouza only had pocket sevens but spiked a seven right away.
Action was picked up on the flop in a pot between Rubin Chappell in the big blind and Corneliu Manu in middle position.
The flop read 5♠4♦2♥ and Chappell checked over to Manu who bet 2,000, Chappell raised to 7,000 and Manu called.
On the turn 5♣, Chappell bet 7,700 which saw Manu quickly call.
Chappell sized up to 30,000 on the river 9♥ and Manu sighed as he put in the chips to call.
"Good call," Chappell said as he tabled J♣8♠. Manu turned over Q♥Q♠ for queens up and he raked in the pot.
On a board of 7♦7♣3♥6♥, George Lods fired a bet of 5,000, and Jessica Teusl called.
The A♦ landed on the river and Lods made another bet of 6,000, which Teusl called reasonably quickly.
Lods tabled 9♦9♠ but Teusl had the winner with J♠J♣.
