Liedkte Eliminates a Pair, Crosses 100,000

Level 5
Mark Liedtke
Mark Liedtke

On a flop of {7-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades}, Ray Henson led out for the size of the pot and was raised all in by Mark Liedtke. Danny Noam called behind for 10,500 which put him all in as well. Henson called for approximately 7,000 more.

Danny Noam: {j-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}
Mark Liedtke: {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{3-Spades}
Ray Henson: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Spades}

The board ran out with the {6-Clubs} and {9-Hearts} and Liedtke's nine-high straight and ace-three for low were good enough to scoop a massive pot, eliminating both Henson and Noam, who have since re-entered the tournament.

Williams All-In Versus the World

Level 5
David Williams
David Williams

Pot-Limit Omaha

Before the flop, David Williams raised from the big blind to 4,800, leaving himself just over 3,000 behind. He got calls from Felipe Ramos in the cutoff and Pearce Arnold in the small blind.

Arnold checked the {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop, and Willimas tossed in his remaining 3,100 chips. Ramos then raised to 15,000, which drew a reluctant fold from Arnold.

David Williams: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Felipe Ramos: {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}

Ramos had the world's fair of draws at his disposal, but Williams somehow dodged them all as the {6-Clubs} and {2-Spades} fell, boosting his stack to over 20,000.

On the latest episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Jesse Fullen and Chad Holloway come to you from the 2021 World Series of Poker (WSOP)!

Registration on the 2021 WSOP $10,000 Main Event closed with 6,550 players! Find out how things stacked up during Day 4 play including a deep run by Chris Moneymaker. They also talk about Pennsylvania math teacher John Coyle, who qualified for the WSOP Main Event for just $5, as well as a pair of big hands — quads-over-quads on the live stream and the cracked aces money bubble hand suffered by Kevin Campbell.

They also welcome special guest Michael Graydon from Birmingham, Alabama, who was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer seven months ago. The poker community stepped up to support the 40-year-old husband & father of two. A number of players came together to fund Graydon's trip to the WSOP this year including an entry to the Main Event. Lára Neacy met with him just before he took his seat for Day 1D to hear his story & new perspective on life.
