Le Loses a Small Pot

Level 2 : 200/400, 400 ante

One of the most prolific Pot-Limit Omaha players in the history of the World Series of Poker is most certainly Tommy Le with more than half a dozen final tables and two gold bracelets to his name. Le entered a few minutes ago and was just involved in a small pot out of the big blind.

Le check-called for 1,000 on the {q-Spades}{j-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop and then checked again the {3-Spades} on the turn and then faced a bet worth 1,500, which was enough to force a fold from Le.

Keijzer Builds Stack Further

Level 2 : 200/400, 400 ante

Three ways to the {7-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop, Krzysztof Magott checked out of the small blind and one other player checked. Ronald Keijzer bet 3,000 in the cutoff and received two calls. The trio checked the {10-Clubs} on the turn and the {5-Clubs} fell on the river.

It now checked to Keijzer once more and he made it 9,000 to go. Magott was the only caller but mucked once he was shown the {8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{4-Diamonds} for the seven-high straight

Stephen Chidwick
Stephen Chidwick

Three ways to the {k-Spades}{j-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop with 4,700 in the middle, Stephen Chidwick bet 3,500 and Lautaro Guerra then raised to 12,000. That forced out the third player in the hand while Chidwick stuck around. Both checked the {4-Diamonds} on the turn and Chidwick bet the {3-Clubs} river for 7,500.

Guerra called after brief consideration and mucked once the 2019 winner of this event turned over {k-Clubs}{10-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs} for kings and sevens.

Small Flush for Ivey

Level 1 : 200/300, 300 ante

A middle position player raised to 800 and Poker Hall of Famer Phil Ivey defended out of the big blind.

Ivey checked on the flop of {7-Spades}{a-Spades}{4-Spades} and called a bet of 600 from his opponent. Ivey checked again on the {q-Spades} turn and his opponent checked back.

Ivey checked a third time on the {a-Diamonds} river and his opponent checked before announcing he had two pair. Ivey then turned over {6-Spades}{4-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} for a flopped flush and took down the pot.
