Ivens Continues Ascent

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Todd Ivens opened to 9,000 from the cutoff and was called by Cliff Hodgman and Linus Richter from the blinds.

Ivens continued for 13,000 on the {q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop and both the blinds called.

Ivens fired another 37,000 into the middle on the {2-Diamonds} turn, only Richter called.

The {4-Spades} river checked through and Ivens scooped the pot with his {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}.

Cruising in the $250k, Is 2022 Phil Ivey's Best WSOP Ever?

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Phil Ivey
Phil Ivey

It's not a matter if, but when will Phil Ivey become just the second player ever to win that elusive 11th World Series of Poker gold bracelet. Perhaps, he's just a day away, especially if he continues to dominate Event #50: $250,000 Super High Roller No-Limit Hold'em.

Ivey's been stuck on 10 since 2014, tied for second with Johnny Chan and Doyle Brunson. He still has his work cut out for him to catch Phil Hellmuth, who holds the record with 16 WSOP titles. But it's clear now that he's as focused now to win bracelets as was in the 2000s.

A player in middle position opened and Michael Wang three-bet jammed out of the small blind. The opponent called with a smaller stack.

Opponent: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Michael Wang: {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}

Wang was able to win the flip as the board ran out {k-Hearts}{5-Spades}{k-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for his pair of sixes to stay ahead.

Just before the table broke, James Romero was in middle position in a three-way pot against the cutoff and Michael Wang in the big blind on a board of {2-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{4-Spades}.

Wang checked and Romero bet 15,000. The cutoff called and Wang folded. The turn brought the {j-Hearts} and Romero bet a massive 80,000 with less than that in the pot. The opponent laid it down.

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Todd Ivens
Todd Ivens

Action was caught on the {a-Spades}{q-Spades}{9-Clubs} flop in a hand between Todd Ivens and Linus Richter.

Ivens, from under the gun, check-called a bet of 25,000 from Richter, who was in middle position.

Ivens did the same for 90,000 on the {6-Hearts} turn.

On the {7-Spades} river, Ivens bet out 175,000 and sent Richter into the tank. The latter threw his hands up in the air on a few occasions before deciding to return his cards to the dealer.

Runner-Runner Bad Beat Tilts Negreanu; Poker Star Out of WSOP $250k

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu suffered a nasty beat against David Peters

The 2022 World Series of Poker has been one that Daniel Negreanu would probably like to forget, especially after the way he was sent to the rail on Friday afternoon in Event #50: $250,000 Super High Roller No-Limit Hold'em.

On his second bullet — $500,000 invested in the tournament — he entered Day 2 with less than half his starting stack. But he quickly built it back up and appeared on track to make a run. And then he ran into one of his toughest hands in what has been a frustrating summer for the poker legend.

Wang Busts a Player Then Doubles Up Gierse

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Michael Wnag
Michael Wnag

Joseph Cheong opened to 10,000 from middle position before Michael Wong raised to 27,000 from the hijack. The cutoff then four-bet to 65,000. Cheong quickly folded but Wang went deep into the tank and eventually, the clock was called. Wang ended up moving all in for around 275,000 and was snapped by his opponent, who he just narrowly covered.

Cutoff: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Michael Wang: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

There was an ace in the window but it was rendered useless as a queen followed on the {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{10-Spades} flop. A {4-} hit the turn and the {2-Clubs} river confirmed that the huge pot would be sent Wang's way.

The very next hand, Marius Gierse, with {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, was all in against Wang's pocket fives. There was an ace on the flop and Gierse held to double up.

Daniels Shows Ace-Jack

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Jake Daniels
Jake Daniels

The cutoff opened to 11,000 and Jake Daniels three-bet to 36,000 from the button. The action folded back around to the cutoff, who thought for a moment and four-bet to 83,000.

Daniels eyed up his opponent's stack before tossing {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} face-up into the muck. Daniels could afford to lose the pot as he's built up a tower of chips throughout the day and currently sits with a stack of 410,000.
