Danzer Dragging Pots

Level 7 : 400/800, 1,200 ante
George Danzer
George Danzer

George Danzer hasn't played much at the WSOP since winning Player of the Year in 2014, with no cashes since 2016. But his familiar mohawk has been spotted in the field today, and he's already showing no signs of rust.

In his last hand, a player raised to 2,000 from under the gun and fellow former Player of the Year Tom Schneider called on the button. Danzer came along from the big blind and took two, as did Schneider.

First to act after the draw, Danzer put out a bet of 5,000 and both his opponents quickly mucked.

Aldemir Triples Up

Level 7 : 400/800, 1,200 ante
Koray Aldemir
Koray Aldemir

Koray Aldemir was on a short stack and moved all in for 8,200 from the cutoff. Kenneth Po called on the button and Steve Zolotow also called in the big blind.

Zolotow and Aldemir each drew one, and Po stood pat. Zolotow and Po each checked and the hands were revealed...

Koray Aldemir: {10-}{6-}{5-}{4-}{2-}
Kenneth Po: {j-}{6-}{5-}{4-}{2-}
Steve Zolotow: {j-}{7-}{5-}{4-}{2-}

Aldemir's ten beat both his opponent's jacks and he dragged a nice pot to return to near its starting level.

Schwartz Applying Pressure

Level 7 : 400/800, 1,200 ante

Tom McCormick raised to 3,000 from the button and Jake Schwartz called in the big blind.

Schwartz drew one while McCormick stood pat. First to act, Schwartz put out a big bet of 10,500. McCormick had an anguished look on his face as he considered the call, while Schwartz sat calmly drinking from his water bottle.

McCormick eventually slid his cards back to the dealer and Schwartz, last year's runner-up in this event, took in the pot.

Level 7 : 400/800, 1,200 ante
Yuri Dzivielevski
Yuri Dzivielevski

Yuri Dzivielevski and Yosuke Iwata had already built up a pot of around 28,000 going to the draw. Dzivielevski stood pat, while Iwata took one.

Dzivielevski led out with a bet of 3,500 before Iwata pushed his entire stack forward, around 15,000 more. Dzivielevski snap-called.

Iwata showed the Brazilian online legend {8-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-} and Dzivielevski mucked to take a chunk out of his chip stack.

Schulman Doubles Up

Level 7 : 400/800, 1,200 ante

Nick Schulman was all in for his last 12,400 and awaiting the decision of his opponent.

"I might gamble with you," his opponent said before calling to put Schulman at risk. Both players took one.

Schulman was showing {8-}{7-}{5-}{3-}, while his opponent had a jack-low. Schulman peeled the {6-Spades} on the draw to secure the double up.

Glaser Leaves One Chip Behind

Level 7 : 400/800, 1,200 ante

Benny Glaser was nearly all in for 11,000, leaving just a single black 100 chip behind, and was called by Keith Lehr and Louis Abronson. All three players took one.

After the draw, Lehr threw out a 100 chip to put Glaser all in. "You know you can't bet that much. That's just disrespectful," Glaser replied.

Lehr was forced to put out the minimum bet of 800 and Abronson called, with Glaser throwing in his last chip.

Lehr showed an ace, Abronson a queen to take the side pot, while Glaser took the main pot with {10-}{8-}{7-}{4-}{3-} to triple up.
