2026 Bar Poker Open Vegas World Championship
Level: 23
Blinds: 50,000/100,000
Ante: 100,000
Just 19 players remain, and they have been sent on another 15-minute break.
Action will continue today until the final table of eight has been reached.
After just serving a one-round penalty, Ian Auvil returned to his seat in the small blind and was immediately all in. Len Villani had raised in the cutoff, and made the call.
Ian Auvil: A♦Q♥
Len Villani: A♣J♣
Neither player caught a piece of the 10♦6♠4♣K♣8♠ board, as Auvil celebrated his double-up while leaving Villani short.
Lakishia Jefferson was all in and at risk against Robert Carswell on her left.
Lakishia Jefferson: A♦K♣
Robert Carswell: A♥J♦
Jefferson's kicker was looking strong through the Q♦2♦4♠ flop and 7♥ turn, but Carswell spiked the J♣ river to earn the elimination.
Joseph Tymorek opened to 190,000 from under the gun, and Maria Piaseczny moved all in for 230,000 as next to act. John Wolfson announced a call in the small blind, and Tymorek slid in a call.
Wolfson and Tymorek checked on each street of the 10♠Q♦3♦5♥3♥ board, and the hands were turned up.
Maria Piaseczny: Q♠Q♣
Joseph Tymorek: A♥10♦
John Wolfson: A♣10♣
Piaseczny tabled her pocket queens that improved to a full house, breathing a sigh of relief as she earned the triple-up.
Lakishia Jefferson moved all in from middle position, with David Garrity calling in the small blind and Hung Quach coming along in the big blind.
Garrity and Quach checked all the way through the Q♦9♦K♣9♣7♥ runout, and the cards were turned up.
Lakishia Jefferson: Q♠J♠
David Garrity: A♠10♥
Hung Quach: Ax6x
Jefferson's two pair, queens and nines, were good enough to win the pot and stay alive, and her shove on the very next hand got through to pick up another orbit.
One hand later, Michael Cintolo was sent to the rail in 21st place.
Robert Carswell checked the 4♣J♦Q♠ flop in the small blind, and David Garrity slid out a bet of 175,000 from the big blind.
After taking some time, Carswell raised to 425,000, producing a fold from Garrity to take down the pot.
