Bracelet Winner Pekarek Continues to Chip Up

Level 13 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Jeremy Pekarek
Jeremy Pekarek

A short-stacked player moved all in for around 23,000 from early position and action folded around to Jeremy Pekarek, who was sitting in the big blind with a mountain of chips. He opted to make the call and the hands were tabled.

Jeremy Pekarek: {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Opponent: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

The {k-Spades}{a-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop was gin for Pekarek, who paired his ace. Neither the {8-Spades} turn nor {7-Diamonds} river changed a thing and Pekarek, who won the 2019 WSOP Event #9: $600 No-Limit Hold'em Deepstack for $398,281, pulled in the pot, which put him close to the 400K mark.

Hold'em by Harrington

Level 13 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

For a good portion of the day Jarron Harrington has been masterfully working a short stack and once again he has nearly doubled his chipstack.

After a raise to 6,500 from the under-the-gun player and a call from a middle-position player, Harrington then three-bet to 23,000 from his big blind and after some thought the original raiser folded and the middle-position player immediately folded.

Harrington then promptly shoved his remaining 42,000 on the {2-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop, which sent the original raiser into the tank for almost a minute before he folded. The middle-position player that called the initial raise tried to call the clock but was informed that not nearly enough time had passed.

Egesda Sets Up Pratt

Level 13 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Zarren Egesdal
Zarren Egesdal

Zarren Egesdal raised to 7,000 under the gun only to have Denise Pratt three-bet to 19,000 from the hijack. Action folded back to Egesdal and he ripped it for 45,000, which Pratt wasted little time in calling.

Zarren Egesdal: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Denise Pratt: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

It was a flip but not after the flop fell {3-Spades}{k-Hearts}{j-Clubs} to give Egesdal a set. The {10-Spades} turn gave Pratt a Broadway draw, but she missed as the {6-Diamonds} river was a brick.
