Glaser Is the Bubble Boy

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 0 ante
Benny Glaser
Benny Glaser

After hanging around for two orbits since his triple up, Benny Glaser was all in from the big blind for his last 1,500. Action again folded to William Kakon on the button and he limped in. Vikram Kumar Palanisamy completed his small blind and the remaining 2,000 went into the side pot.

The dealer fanned a flop of {q-Spades}{j-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and Palanisamy checked. Kakon threw in a bet of 4,000 and Palanisamy folded, showing the {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} face up. Once all other hands were finished, cards were exposed in order to complete the runout.

Benny Glaser: {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
William Kakon: {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}

Kakon had flopped top two pair to Glaser's pair of jacks. He was in need of running cards to stay alive and the turn brought {4-Clubs} to give him outs at a gutshot straight. However, the river {5-Hearts} would be his final card of the tournament as the bubble burst and Glaser was sent home sans a payout.

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 0 ante
Benny Glaser
Benny Glaser

Down to his last 2,000, Benny Glaser was seen sitting down at his seat just in time to all in from the big blind. Action saw a three-handed showdown between William Kakon on the button, Vikram Kumar Palanisamy in the small blind, and Glaser with Kakon and Palanisamy checking down the entire runout of {k-Spades}{10-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. All three hands were then exposed:

Benny Glaser: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
William Kakon: {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
Vikram Kumar Palanisamy: {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

Glaser ended up with a pair of kings and took down the pot, allowing him to continue to survive on the bubble.

Owais Ahmed
Owais Ahmed

Owais Ahmed was all in and called by Andreas Klatt in a blind-versus-blind situation on a flop of {k-Spades}{6-Spades}{8-Clubs}.

Owais Ahmed: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Andreas Klatt: {8-Hearts}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades}

Ahmed's aces and gutshot straight draw were in bad shape against Klatt's two pair, flush draw, and open-ended straight draw. The turn {5-Clubs} and river {6-Diamonds} sealed the deal and Ahmed was sent home before the first break of the day.

There was around 23,000 in the pot on a board of {j-Clubs}{10-Spades}{4-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and the player in the hijack checked to Noah Schwartz on the cutoff, who bet 16,000. Andrew Ostapchenko went all in for around 51,000 and the hijack folded. Schwartz called and the two tabled their hands.

Noah Schwartz: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Andrew Ostapchenko: {a-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{5-}

Ostapchenko had turned a set but was in trouble as Schwartz had flopped a higher one. The river fell {3-Spades} and Ostapchenko was on his way to the rail as Schwartz raked in the pot

Of the 835 entries into Event #85: $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha 6-Handed, 173 will return this afternoon with the goal of winning the 2019 World Series of Poker’s last PLO event of the summer.

Cards are set to go in the air at 2 p.m. local time and should see a fast pace of play to begin the day. In total, 126 will make it into the money and earn a minimum payout of $4,489. The eventual winner, however, will receive $448,392 and a WSOP gold bracelet.

Entering the day atop the leaderboard is Paresh Doshi with 359,300 in chips. Like Doshi, the remaining players in the top five all enter the day in search of their first career bracelet. Kenneth Lucas (291,500), Hao Chen (287,800), Christopher Wehner (284,300), and Alan Sternberg (270,100) will be the ones at the front of the chase when play resumes.

Keith Lehr (235,400) enters the day as the highest stack among previous bracelet winners. Other notables to start the day with big stacks include Anton Morgenstern (233,000), Martin Zamani 231,700, and Iaron Lightbourne (214,000).

There are several other players who have had hot summers and are looking to put an exclamation mark on the end of their list of results in Las Vegas. Denis Strebkov (152,100), Loren Klein (139,700), Jesse Hampton (140,800), and Bryce Yockey (109,700) have all made multiple final tables this summer and all find themselves in contention with above-average stacks.

Ten one-hour levels are on the schedule with blinds resuming at 800/1,600 with no antes due to the pot-limit format. There will be 15-minute breaks at the completion of every two levels with a one-hour dinner break after Level 6, the sixth level of the day at approximately 8:30 p.m. local time. Action is sure to be exciting both early and often so stay glued to PokerNews to be sure to catch it all.
