We already told you about Mason Hinkle, the little brother of bracelet winners Grant and Blair Hinkle, who played his debut WSOP event today. Unfortunately, all three brothers busted the event already, but another little brother is still around and looking to make Day 2.
Little brother of Di and Hac Dang, two of the most successful online poker players of all time, Au Dang, is in the field today and sitting with around 26,000 chips which is well above average. We'll see if he can make a deep run and maybe take a step towards getting on his big brothers' poker level
Cherish Andrews opened from under the gun to 1,350 before the player on the button made it 4,200. The blinds folded and Andrews called.
The flop came and Andrews checked to the player in position and he bet 4,000. Andrews thought for a bit and decided to call.
The turn was the and this time Andrews led out for 8,200. Her opponent went deep into the tank. At one point he asked Andrews how much she had, to which she responded, "about 13k more". He counted out the chips in his stack that represented the rest of her chips and found that he would have about 12,000 more. After another minute or two he finally let his hand go.
With the pot, Andrews has now chipped up to 48,000.
From middle position, one time chip leader Dylan Wilkerson, raised to 1,300 and the player to his left called. However, the small blind moved in for 3,250 and after a moments thought, Wilkerson isolated the all in player by moving his stack in as well. The third player, who had just slightly less chips than Wilkerson, quickly folded face up to the surprise of the table. Wilkerson sheepishly turned over and was behind the of the all in player.
The flop fell improving Wilkerson's hand. The turn was the and river which officially gave him the pot. However, the table had a good yell when the river fell because it would have given the broadway. Wilkerson got a little lucky that the player folded and is now up to 29,500.
