Level 20 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Ognyan Dimov raised to 325,000 in middle position and Alisson Piekazewicz three-bet to 800,000 on the button. Dimov then moved all in for 2,500,000 and Piekazewicz snap-called.

Ognyan Dimov: 10♥10♦ All in
Alisson Piekazewicz: 8♥8♠

Dimog had Piekazewicz dominated until the flop brought J♣8♣2♥ to give Piekazewicz a set. The 8♦ turn gave Piekazewicz quads for the second time today and Dimov was drawing dead by the 3♣ river and heading for the exit.

Level 19 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Zhewen Hu opened 240,000 and Bruno Volkmann defended the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 9♦9♥6♦, and Volkmann check-raised a bet of 200,000 to 500,000. Hu used a time bank before announcing all-in, getting an immediate request for a chip count from Volkmann.

After the dealer let him know it was 2,045,000, Volkmann made the fold.

Level 19 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Rodrigo Sirichuk shipped all in for his last 1,600,000 in the hijack and Pascal Lefrancois reshoved all in on the button, forcing both of the blinds out.

Rodrigo Sirichuk: Q♠Q♣ All in
Pascal Lefrancois: A♠K♦

It was a classic coin flip and the flop of K♥9♣9♦ put Lefrancois in the lead with a pair of kings. There was no help for Sirichuk on the 8♣, 5♠ runout as he headed to the payout desk.

Pascal Lefrancois	6,250,000 630,000	630,000

Chad Holloway

Level 19 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Erik Seidel moved all in for 1.96 million from the button and Marcelo Aziz called from the big blind.

Erik Seidel: 5♥5♣ All in
Marcelo Aziz: A♣K♠

It was a flip and Seidel was looking to hold to stay alive. The Poker Hall of Famer, who won a bracelet at last year’s WSOP Paradise, made it through the 6♠10♠Q♦ flop as well as the 2♥ turn, but the A♦ on the river was a dagger through his heart.

Seidel was eliminated in 161st place for $67,300 while Aziz chipped up to 10.7 million.

Level 19 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

What is a player to do when they love tournament poker, their mind allows them to compete against the best of the best, but their body doesn’t want to cooperate? That’s a question “Texas” Mike Moncek, who suffers from a heart condition, asked himself Wednesday night after playing in the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise Event #7: $100,000 Triton Main Event.

The tournament, which is being live reported by PokerNews, attracted 182 entrants and offered up an $18,200,000 prize pool. On Day 2, a little over 40 players remained when Texas Mike, in his own words, “punted.”

Level 19 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Samuel Klocker moved all in for 605,000 from early position, Ignacio Moron reshoved in middle positon, and the rest of the table got out of the way.

Samuel Klocker: A♦9♦ All in
Ignacio Moron: K♥J♣

Moron took the lead on the Q♥10♠J♠ flop with a pair of jacks, but Klocker spiked a straight on the 8♦ turn. The river was the 4♥ and Klocker doubled up, leaving Moron with less than a big blind.

Player	Chips	Progress
Samuel Klocker	1,500,000 3,025,000	3,025,000

Peters Can't Get Anything Going

Adam Lamers

Level 19 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

The action folded around to Tomas Telek in the small blind who just limped in. David Peters was in the big blind with around 1,500,000 after coming into the day as one of the bigger stacks from the online portion of the event. Peters shoved his stack into the middle and was met with a snap-call from Telek.

David Peters: K♠10♥ All in
Tomas Telek: A♣8♣

Neither player was able to connect on the 5♥3♥2♠J♦5♠ runout and the ace-high from Telek was good enough to send Peters to the rail.

Klodnicki Takes from Keating

Tyler Foran

Level 19 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Alex Keating had 1,275,000 across the line from the small blind and was faced with another raise of 3,000,000 from Chris Klodnicki in the cutoff. After giving it some thought, he made the call.

The dealer fanned the K♦6♠4♦ flop, and Keating check-folded to a bet of 1,500,000.

"Now you're chip leader," Keating said with a chuckle as the dealer sent the pot the other way.
