Matt O'Halloran

Level 14 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Ian Matakis opened the action from early position with a bet of 11,000. Derek Sudell, in middle position, put in a raise to 28,000. The rest of the table got out of the way before Matakis made the call.

Ian Matakis:
Derek Sudell:

Matakis had flopped a ten high straight, but Sudell had an open ender to a jack or queen high straight. That draw got there on the turn. The river changed nothing. Sudell's jack high straight was just good enough to beat Matakis' ten high straight, giving Sudell the big pot and sending Matakis out of the tournament.

Griffeth Wins Pot, but Not Without Penalty

TerranceReid

Level 14 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action picked up on the turn with just over 100,000 in the pot. The board showed Raul Torres had announced a bet of 80,000, but only slid one stack of 20,000 in so far.

Roongsak Griffeth immediately went all in on his left. Torres, still completing his original bet of 80,000, slid a second stack of 20,000. Griffeth took this for a call and flipped his over.

The floor was called and ruled that Torres was simply still placing his original bet and action was on him. With his opponent's cards exposed, Torres folded.

Griffeth received a one-orbit penalty for exposing his cards with action pending.

Player	Chips	Progress
Roongsak Griffeth	410,000 161,000	161,000
Raul Torres	140,000 -105,000	-105,000

Welcome to Day 2 of Event #27: $1,500 Shootout No-Limit Hold'em

Matt O'Halloran

The 2022 World Series of Poker in its new home at Bally’s and Paris Las Vegas will continue its one and only shootout event, Event #27: $1,500 Shootout No-Limit Hold'em, as Day 2 will kick off at noon local time.

Day 1 saw the field reach the maximum size of 1,000 entrants. By the end of the night, that field had been whittled down to just 100 players. Those who survived will return today and the field will be narrowed down to just 10 players by the end of Day 2. The 100 who made it to Day 2 will at least take home the minimum cash of $5,835, while those who survive and advance to Day 3's final table will be vying for the first place prize of $240,480 and a gold WSOP bracelet.

Notables who made it through to Day 2 include 2016 WSOP Main Event Champion Qui Nguyen, Women in Poker Hall of Fame Inductee JJ Liu, and four time WSOP bracelet winners Tom Schneider and Brian Yoon. Some notables who failed to bag their chips for Day 2 include 2013 WSOP Main Event Champion Ryan Riess, four time WSOP bracelet winners Scott Seiver and George Danzer, and last year's winner and runner up of this event, Gershon Distenfeld and Johan Schumacher.

All players will start the day with approximately 250,000 chips. Some stacks will be marginally smaller as some unsold stacks on day one were blinded into the well before the event sold out. Levels will last 40 minutes with a 15 minute break scheduled after every third level. A 60 minute dinner break is scheduled for after level 9, expected to be around 6:30 p.m. local time. Blinds will begin at 2,000-4,000 with a 4,000 big blind ante.
