Limpin' Ain't Easy For Carlton

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

Schulz Caught Bluffing; Wilson Bests Goulder

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

On the tail end of a pot between Robert Schulz and Kevin Rivest, the former bet 2,000 with the board showing {10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Rivest called. Schulz tabled {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for a missed gutshot and Rivest won the pot with {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}.

The very next hand, Daniel Wilson raised the button to 500 and Alex Goulder in the small blind three-bet to 2,100, which Wilson called. On a {5-Hearts}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop, Goulder checked and released his cards into the muck when facing a bet of 2,000 by Wilson.

Dimas Drags a Big One With Aces Up

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

The cutoff raised to 2,000, Nikita Kupchin called on the button, and Mark Dimas reraised to 8,000 on the small blind. The cutoff folded, and Kupchin made the call.

The flop came {k-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{k-Spades}, and Dimas down bet for 6,000. Kupchin called, and the turn came {7-Clubs}. Dimas bet again for 12,000, once again getting the call from Kupchin.

The river came out {j-Diamonds}, and Dimas slowed down with a check. Kupchin checked back, Dimas announced pocket aces and indeed showed {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}. Kupchin mucked.

"If you move all in on the turn I have to call," Dimas said as he raked in the pot. He's now near the 100,000 mark.

Trofimov Building

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

Dyer in the Day 1b Field

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

Most players can only dream of getting as far as Michael Dyer did in the 2018 WSOP Main Event. The Houston, Texas resident took home a $3,725,000 payday for his third-place finish in last year's tournament, and he's back in the mix on Day 1b to try for another deep run.

Dyer followed up that seven-figure cash with another impressive finish in January 2019, taking down the $5,300 No-Limit Hold'em Event at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, netting $336,670.

Dyer comes into the Main Event looking for his third cash of the 2019 WSOP, having finished in the money in both the BIG 50 and Millionaire Maker events.
