Pan First Casualty on Day 1

Christian Zetzsche

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

The stack of Qinghai Pan took several hits in the open stages and he never really got anything going. After his latest table move he was down to a mere ten percent of what he started with and chopped once. However, his seat is now empty and the chip leader of Day 1 in this very event in 2021 has become the first casualty in the 2022 edition.

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Only one poker player in history — Phil Hellmuth — has reached the 11 World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet plateau. On Monday, Phil Ivey could join one of poker's most exclusive clubs.

The for-now 10-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner is currently sitting on a large stack with five players remaining in Event #42: $100,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold'em, which slated to play down to a winner tonight.

As it stands, Hellmuth is the record holder with 16 bracelets, followed by Ivey, Johnny Chan, and Doyle Brunson tied at 10.

The $100k was originally scheduled to wrap up with the final table on Tuesday, airing on PokerGO, but PokerGO called an audible and decided to livestream the final table tonight. At the time of publishing, the remaining players were on a dinner break and will come back at 7 p.m. to play it down to a winner, who will receive $1,897,363. Coverage on PokerGO will resume at 8 p.m., along with PokerNews' live reporting updates.

With the blinds at 60,000/120,000, Ivey currently sits at 9,075,000, approximately 75 big blinds, good for second in chips. Aleksejs Ponakovs, an online poker crusher, is the chip leader at 14,450,000 and has been dominating play during Monday's Day 2 session.

$100k Final Table Chip Counts

Place	Player	Chip Stack
1	Aleksejs Ponakovs	14,450,000
2	Phil Ivey	9,075,000
3	Ben Heath	5,825,000
4	Michael Moncek	4,540,000
5	Gregory Jensen	4,200,000

Five players traded bets through fourth street, with Scott Bohlman leading out on fifth to see Wilson Igwe, Roberto Reyna, Scott Ziebarth and John Monnette all continue.

Bohlman bet again on sixth with Monnette folding, while Igwe and Reyna called. Ziebarth raised and called when Bohlman tossed in a third bet, with Igwe and Reyna bowing out.

Bohlman fired one last bet on seventh and showed his straight once Ziebarth called, scooping a big pot to recover some lost chips.
