Korenev and Muehloecker Added to the Field

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

With four cashes at the 2016 WSOP, Roman Korenev's off to a good start of the summer but he's still looking for his first final table. Korenev has nine European Poker Tour cashes under his belt, including one final table at EPT Berlin.

Austrian pro Thomas Muehloecker has three cashes so far at the WSOP, and his biggest cash dates back to 2013 when he won the €10,000 High Roller at EPT Barcelona for $522,633.

Karrim Eliminated Again

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

It was not a great day for Ahmed Karrim, and just now he's been knocked out again. Karrim informed us that he lost holding pocket jacks versus {A-Spades}{6-Spades}. The money went in on a {J-}{8-}{3-} flop with two spades, the turn brought the {4-Clubs} but the {Q-Spades} knocked the South-African player.

Fielder Catches Fire

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Iowa's Jeff Fielder has joined the group at the top of the chip counts now after at least one massive hand and a dash of run good.

The big hand saw Fielder make kings full versus nines full and get heaps in on the river.

Gustavson Sends One Home

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

After a raise to 1,200 we saw former EPT London winner Aaron Gustavson three-bet to put his opponent all in for 6,225 total.

After a while Gustavson's opponent called, and the showdown went as follows.

Gustavson: {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}
Opponent: {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}

The board ran out {Q-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} and Gustavson picked up the pot.

Mateos Celebrates Hollywood Style

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Adrian Mateos
Adrian Mateos

Adrian Mateos won the 2016 World Series of Poker $1,500 Summer Solstice event this afternoon. He bested a field of 1,840 entries and won a first-place prize of $409,171.

He came back from a sizable deficit in heads-up play to collect his second WSOP bracelet, adding to a trophy case that includes both the WSOP Europe Main Event and European Poker Tour Grand Final titles.

So what did the spicy 21-year-old Spanish phenom do to celebrate his latest victory? He hopped in a car, drove over to the M Resort on the other side of town, and late-registered the Hollywood Poker Open Season 4 Championship Event of course.

Mateos made the drive south and just turned up at the tables here moments ago, picking up his 25,000-chip stack and letting it rip.
