Three-Way All-In Insanity for Donev

Level 8 : 200/300, 0 ante

Big O

Ivo Donev opened under the gun and four players called, including Scott Clements in the cutoff.

The flop came {2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. Donev led the betting again and the player in the hijack, as well as the small blind, called again. Both Clements and the big blind folded, and the three remaining players proceeded to the {10-Diamonds} turn.

The small blind checked, Donev bet 5,000, the hijack called, and the small blind went all-in for his remaining stack. Donev and the hijack called, bringing about the {6-Spades} river. Donev and the hijack then got the last of the chips in, with Donev having both the hijack and small blind covered.

Ivo Donev: {a-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}
Hijack: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{3-Spades}
Small Blind: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

Final Board: {2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{6-Spades}

Donev excitedly tabled his hand when the betting was done, and it took a couple of minutes to clear up who won what and how much. In the end, it was the small blind taking the high with the {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for the nut flush, and Donev and the hijack chopping the low, both using the {a-}{3-}. All three players remained in the tournament after the exhilarating hand.

Clements Scores the Knockout

Level 8 : 200/300, 0 ante

Big O

The under-the-gun player checked to Scott Clements on his direct left, and Clements bet 5,400 on a {q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop. The player on the hijack called, along with the under-the-gun opponent.

The action checked to Clements on the {6-Diamonds} turn, and Clements went all-in for his last 17,000. The hijack tanked for awhile before putting in the call, for the rest of his chips. The early position player folded.

Scott Clements: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Hijack: {7-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}

Final Board: {q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{x-}

Clements scooped the pot with the eight-high straight for the high, and the {6-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{a-} low.

Evans Knocks Out Porter in Double Elimination

Level 7 : 200/300, 0 ante

Big O

John Evans continued his climb up the chip leaderboard, knocking out three-time bracelet winner Rep Porter and one other opponent.

An opponent got in for the last of his 5,700 chips, and Evans three-bet to 22,000 on a {2-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{k-Spades} flop, getting a cold call from Porter for the remainder of Porter's chips.

John Evans: {k-Clubs}{10-}{3-}{2-}{x-}

Having both of the at-risk players covered, Evans improved to kings full on a {k-} turn, and his full house actually improved on the {10-Diamonds} river.

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

The hijack player opened, Norman Chad three-bet from the cutoff, and the small blind and the original raiser both called.

The flop came {2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{10-Hearts}, and Chad stayed the aggressor, with the hijack check-calling his bet. The turn fell {10-Clubs}, and Chad bet again when checked to, getting the fold.

Evans Moving Up

Level 7 : 200/300, 0 ante

John Evans is working toward cash No. 3 at the 2019 World Series of Poker. It might be tough to top his second-place finish and six-figure payday in the $1,500 8-Game Mix event, but he's been steadily climbing throughout Day 1, up to 54,500.

Seat One Inferno for Noam

Level 7 : 200/300, 0 ante

Danny Noam and table mates at Amazon Purple #464 told PokerNews about Noam's rise to a healthy Day 1 stack.

Noam has apparently knocked out at least three players at his table today, all of whom were sitting in Seat 1 at the time. Players getting moved to 464-1 had best beware.
