Bhargava Beats Rolled-Up Jacks

Level 6 : 300/600, 0 ante

Stud

The action was caught on fifth street where Sachin Bhargava faced a bet and a raise from his opponents. He called and the first player called as well. Bhargava spiked third spade card on sixth street and he closed the action with a bet, earning one fold and one call. Bhargava then bet the river again and received one more call.

First player: {x-}{x-} / {9-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} - folded on sixth
Second player: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} / {j-Clubs}{3-Spades}{q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Bhargava: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}{10-Spades} / {5-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{9-Spades}

"I rolled up," Bhargava's opponent said while showing three jacks. Bhargava, however, beat him with a flush.

Gazlay Shoves on Hellmuth

Level 7 : 400/800, 0 ante

NLH

With the board reading {3-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, Phil Hellmuth checked to his neighbor Brayden Gazlay who fired what looked like around a pot-sized bet of 5,000 from the hijack. It was enough to cover Hellmuth's remaining chips and the 15-time bracelet winner contemplated his decision. Then he opted to avoid the risk of elimination and let his hand go.

Bronshtein Clips Zack

Level 7 : 400/800, 0 ante

Razz

Dan Zack and Yuval Bronshtein have already made their marks on the 2019 WSOP, both having won their first bracelets. They now play on the same table in the $1,500 8-Game which saw them tangle in a hand of razz.

There was around 8,000 in the pot when they made it to seventh street, both displaying similar boards. Zack bet, Bronshtein raised, and Zack reluctantly called to see the bad news as Bronshtein made a six.

Zack: {x-}{x-}{x-} / {k-}{3-}{a-}{2-}
Bronshtein: {4-}{a-}{6-} / {2-}{j-}{a-}{3-}

Level 7 : 400/800, 0 ante

2-7 Triple Draw

Chris Ferguson and his opponent took one apiece on the first draw and Ferguson led out, earning a call. Ferguson patted while the other player still needed one. Ferguson fired and received a call and the final draw went pat-one again. Ferguson's opponent paid one more bet as he was able to finish with {8-}{6-}{4-}{3-}{2-}, but it wasn't enough as Ferguson turned up {7-}{6-}{5-}{3-}{2-}.
