2019 World Series of Poker
Rory Brown raised in the hijack, Chris Odle three-bet to 18,000 in the big blind and Brown responded with 60,000. Odle put in the final raise with an all-in shove and Brown instantly released.
[Removed:205], sporting a Super Mario cap, raised in the cutoff and Eduards Kudrjavcevs three-bet the button to 16,500. Maasberg clicked it back to 45,000 and Kudrjavcevs spent some time in the think tank before moving all in, which resulted in a snap-call by Maasberg.

and Kudrjavcevs came close to cracking the aces with a straight and flush draw, but ultimately it was Maasberg that prevailed.

Julian Milliard was in a pot on a ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
board and Bogdan Munteanu had bet in the region of 70,000. Milliard was in position and had jammed, with Munteanu tank-folding as a result.
"King-ten?" asked Munteanu. "Hearts?"
"You do not have to answer that," said Steve Zolotow, reading Milliard his Miranda rights. "You have the right to remain silent..."
"I'm down on the day," said Milliard as we eyed his chip stack. However, when you come into Day 3 as the chip leader, "down on the day" constitutes a stack still in excess of 900,000.
Andrew Martin checked from the big blind and Andrew Lichtenberger bet 8,100 into about 16,000 from the cutoff with action on the ![]()
![]()
![]()
turn. Martin check-raised to 23,500 and Lichtenberger paused, then called.
The
river saw both players check and Martin hesitated before the showdown.
"Four is good?" he asked.
"Unfortunately..." Lichtenberger confirmed. "How'd you know?" Lichtenberger laughed.

Mike Cordell raised to 5,200 from middle position, the player on the button called, the player in the small blind called and Kelly Minkin three-bet to 26,000 from the big blind. Only the player in the small blind called.

Tony Miles came into the day with around ten big blinds and had chipped up through well-timed shoves over the first level. So much so that he opened a hand from early position and Brian Oshust defended his big blind off a similar stack.
The flop was ![]()
![]()
and Oshust checked. Miles continued for 5,500 and Oshust check-raised all in for around 30,000. Miles tank-folded and is back to around 12 big blinds as the first level comes to a close.
