Adam Lamers

Level 6 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Kane Hope opened to 20,000 in early position and [Removed:533] reraised to 55,000 on his left. The action folded back to Hope who called to see a flop of A♠10♥5♣.

Hope checked to La [Removed:534] who continued with a bet of 40,000. Hope check-raised to 110,000 and La [Removed:534] called. The A♣ paired the board on the turn and Hope fired out another bet of 150,000 which La [Removed:534] quickly called.

The river was the J♠ and Hope played with his chips for a moment but opted to check. La [Removed:534] checked it back and Hope tabled Q♥6♥ for complete air. La [Removed:534] turned over K♣10♣ for two pair and raked in the pot.

Level 6 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Nicolas Chouity raised to 22,000 in middle position before Paulo Mendez moved all in for around 250,000 on the button. Loan Phan stuck in her last 160,000 in the big blind, while Chouity gave it some thought but ultimately decided to fold.

Loan Phan: K♦10♦ All in
Paulo Mendez: 10♠10♣

"She saved me. I had a smaller pair," Chouity said as the flop came 6♦4♣2♣. Chouity let out a loud groan and admitted he would've made a set. The board ran out 2♥A♠ and Mendez took the pot to send Phan to the rail.

"She saved you. Play the rush," Chouity lamented after the hand.

Level 6 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Nino Parra opened 20,000 under the gun and the cutoff called before Nicolas Chouity three-bet to 85,000 in the small blind. Jeff Berwick cold-called from the big blind and both Parra and the cutoff mucked their hands.

When the 10♥4♦2♣ flop hit the felt, Chouity slowed down with a check. Berwick shot 75,000 across the line and Chouity made the call.

The 5♠ fell on the turn and Chouity checked once again to Berwick, who continued for 200,000. Chouity counted his stack and after about 30 seconds decided to make the call.

The 4♠ completed the board on the river and Chouity checked once more before Berwick checked back. Chouity rolled A♦10♦ for top pair on the flop and let out a loud sigh of relief when Berwick tabled A♣K♠.

Both players checked through to the 8♠ river and Zegal checked again. Mueller then bet 80,000.

Zegal spent several minutes in the tank before giving up his hand as Mueller took the pot off the 2023 WSOP Paradise $5,000 Main Event champion.

Level 6 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Lasse Ubostad opened to 22,000 from middle position and was called by Dumitru Pora on the button and Jose Nadal in the big blind.

On the 10♦4♦2♠ flop, Ubostad continued for 51,000, Pora folded, and Nadal called.

Nadal check-called another bet on the A♣ turn, this time for 135,000.

On the 8♥ river, Ubostad fired a third barrel for 260,000 and Nadal snap-called. However, Ubostad tabled 2♦2♣ for a flopped set which was good to drag the pot, much to the surprise of Nadal as he shipped a massive pot in the direction of Ubostad.

Level 6 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Joonhee Yea opened to 20,000 in early position and was called by Marta Munoz in the cutoff along with the big blind. The flop came 10♣6♥3♠ and Yea continued with a bet of 18,000. Munoz called and the big blind stepped aside.

The Q♦ rolled off on the turn and Yea checked this time. Munoz put out a bet of 35,000 and Yea stuck around for the J♣ on the river. Yea checked once more and Munoz slid out a stack of chips, enough to put Yea to the test for his remaining 200,000 chips. Yea gave it some thought but decided to save them for another hand.

Level 6 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

With 275,000 already in the middle the turn read Q♦6♦2♥5♦, and Faraz Jaka checked from the big blind to Jim Collopy who fired 85,000. Jaka took a few moments and made the call.

The dealer dropped the 7♣ on the river and Jaka checked it over to Collopy who asked to see Jaka's stack before splashing 375,000 across the line, which was enough to put Jaka to the test for his remaining 247,000. Jaka went into the tank for about a minute before deciding on a call.

Collopy rolled K♠Q♠ for top pair and Jaka stood up from his seat as his 10♦10♠ was turned face up.
