Defending Champ Yoon Eliminated Early

Level 5
Brian Yoon
Brian Yoon

Brian Yoon was down to his last 1,400 chips and almost all-in after paying the 1,200 chip big blind. Warwick Mirzikinian raised under the gun and Michael Trivett called before Yoon committed his final 200 chips.

Mirzikinian bet all three draws, with Trivett finally folding after drawing his final card. Yoon left his final drawn card in place, and turned over his first four cards to see he was live against Mirzikinian.

Warwick Mirzikinian: {8-}{7-}{5-}{4-}{3-}
Brian Yoon: {7-}{6-}{3-}{2-}{x-}

Yoon slowly exposed a king, and Mirzikinian took the pot to eliminate the defending champion.

Arieh Can Beat a Pair (But Does Not)

Level 5
Josh Arieh
Josh Arieh

Players were in a jovial mood at table 129, where 2021 WSOP Player of the Year Josh Arieh had just taken his seat. Arieh jumped straight into the action, raising from under the gun. A player in the cutoff called, as did Nathan Gamble out of the big blind.

On the initial draw all three players took two cards. Gamble checked to Arieh, who bet and was called by his two opponents. At this point Daniel Negreanu could be heard to say, "Josh Arieh has no clue what he is doing".

The second draw saw Gamble take two, Arieh one and the cutoff player two. Gamble checked again and Arieh continued his aggression with another bet. The player in the cutoff called and Gamble got out of the way to send the two players heads-up to the final draw.

Both players took one card on the third draw and at this point Arieh slowed down, checking to his opponent, who put in a bet and said that he could have a pair. As he tossed in calling chips, Arieh said, "I'm gonna call because you said you could have a pair". His opponent turned over {8-}{6-}{5-}{4-}{2-} at which point Arieh jokingly exclaimed, "you liar!".

Shoreman Pats It Down

Level 5

Jon Shoreman raised from under the gun and faced a three-bet from the player on the button. Action folded back to Shoreman, who responded with a four-bet. His opponent called to send the two players to the initial draw.

Shoreman stood pat while his opponent drew two, after which Shoreman led out. The button player called.

On the second draw, Shoreman again stood pat and the player on the button once more took two. Shoreman fired off another bet and received a call.

The final draw saw Shoreman stand pat before checking to his opponent, who checked behind. Shoreman tabled {8-}{7-}{5-}{4-}{2-} for the dealt eight-seven and took down a sizable pot.

Fleck's Turn To Win

Level 4
Katherine Fleck
Katherine Fleck

With a large number of chips already in the middle, Katherine Fleck in the big blind was involved in a hand with Matt Valeo in middle position.

On the initial draw, both players took one card, after which Fleck bet and was called by Valeo.

The second draw saw Fleck stand pat and Valeo once again take one. Fleck bet out and Valeo made the call.

Fleck stood pat on the final draw, while Valeo drew another. Fleck then threw out a third bet, which was enough to get Valeo to release his hand. "It was my turn to win", Fleck told the table as she stacked her chips.

Mirzikinian Accidentally Exposes Hand, Wins Pot

Level 4

A player in the cutoff opened and defending champion Brian Yoon three-bet out of the small blind. Warwick Mirzikinian flatted from the big blind, as did the original raiser.

Yoon took two cards to his opponents' one on the initial draw, after which he checked to Mirzikinian, who bet out. Both the player in the cutoff and Yoon called to maintain three-handed action heading to the second draw.

On the second draw, Yoon again took two, while Mirzikinian stood pat and the cutoff player drew one. Yoon checked for a second time. Mirzikinian was in no mood to slow down and fired off another bet. He was met by two calls and at this point, prior to the third draw, Mirzikinian, thinking the action was complete, turned his hand over. Only Yoon saw the exposed cards, as Mirzikinian quickly turned his hand back over after being informed by the table that there was another draw to come. The floor was called and the ruling made that Mirzikinian's holding had to be completely exposed for the remainder of the hand. Mirzikinian turned over {7-}{6-}{5-}{3-}{2-}.

The final draw saw Yoon take one, Mirzikinian stand pat and the cutoff player draw two. Action was checked through and Mirzikinian's hand held up to take down the pot. "I'm supposed to give you a penalty", Mirzikinian was told by the floor. However, in a moment of sportsmanship, the other players involved in the hand insisted that that not happen .
