2024 WSOP Paradise
Jakub Michalak was all in for 330,000 against the bigger-stacked Alan Keating.
Jakub Michalak: Q♦Q♠
Alan Keating: J♠J♦
Michalak had his high-stakes opponent pipped and nothing changed as the board ran out 7♠2♣4♥9♣9♠ to earn him a double through Keating, who is wearing a watch that retails at $318,000.
Roman Gadzhiev opened 33,000 in the cutoff and Jordan Glazer came along from the big blind.
The dealer spread a flop of 4♦3♠2♦, and Glazer check-raised a continuation bet of 28,000 to 75,000. After a few moments of thought, Gadzhiev announced all-in for 443,000. Glazer snap-called and both hands were tabled.
Roman Gadzhiev: J♦10♦
Jordan Glazer: 6♠5♠
Glazer had flopped the nut straight and was able to fade the diamond draw of Gadzhiev as the K♣ hit the turn, but the A♦ river completed the flush.
"No gamble, No future," Gadzhiev said as he raked in the double.
Igor Ribeiro opened to 32,000 in middle position and Joseph Cheong three-bet to 125,000 out of the small blind. Ribeiro responded with a four-bet to 240,000 and Cheong five-bet shoved all in for around 540,000. Ribeiro quickly called and the cards were tabled.
Joseph Cheong: A♠K♣
Igor Ribeiro: A♣A♦
Cheong was fighting an uphill battle and the flop of J♦3♥2♠ provided no immediate relief. The 5♥ on the turn gave him some chop outs but the K♦ on the river secured the pot for Ribeiro.
Viktor Ustimov was all in from early position against Sergi Reixach in the cutoff.
Viktor Ustimov: A♣Q♠
Sergi Reixach: 9♠9♥
The flop landed 8♦7♣Q♦ to give Ustimov the lead, but the board proceeded to run out 10♥6♠ to give Reixach a straight as Ustimov was sent to the rail.
The action folded around to Charlott Eisenkolb in the cutoff who ripped all in for 265,000. Paul Newey was on the button and asked for a count before making the call. The blinds stepped aside and the two hands were tabled.
Charlott Eisenkolb: A♠K♠
Paul Newey: 10♠10♣
The flop came 8♣6♣3♠ and Newey was still in the lead with the lone pair. The 3♣ on the turn and the 4♥ on the river changed nothing as Eisenkolb was sent to the rail.
Ryan Wolfson moved all in for his last 90,000 in the cutoff and action folded to Felipe Ramos in the big blind. After taking a moment, Ramos tossed in the call and the cards were turned up.
Ryan Wolfson: A♠2♥
Felipe Ramos: K♠5♠
Wolfson's ace-high remained ahead through the 4♠7♠9♦ flop, but Ramos picked up flush outs. The 6♦ saw Ramos also gain outs to a straight, but the Q♣ river was safe to ensure Wolfson's double.
Juan Pardo opened 35,000 in the hijack and Jean-Noel Thorel defended the big blind.
Both players checked to the 6♦5♦2♣4♣ turn, where Thorel check-called a bet of 50,000 from Pardo.
The 9♦ landed on the river and Thorel quickly splashed three chips across the line for a bet of 75,000. Pardo thought for a couple of seconds before making the call.
Thorel tabled Q♠8♥ for queen-high and Pardo showed Q♥9♠ to drag the pot with a pair of nines.
Shaun Deeb opened to 32,000 in the hijack and Alex Livingston three-bet to 100,000 in the cutoff. Deeb responded by four-betting to 302,000 and Livingston laid it down.
After missing a few hands to celebrate her husband winning his third bracelet in the Triton Main Event, Kristen Foxen was all in for 219,000 against Yueqi Zhu to her left.
Kristen Foxen: A♠8♣
Yueqi Zhu: K♣K♠
An ace-high flop of A♦8♦J♦ gave Foxen a big lead and the board finished out 5♥Q♦ to earn her a double. Just yesterday, Foxen was inducted into the Women in Poker Hall of Fame and received a round of congratulations from her tablemates.
