Laskowitz Shoves on Jackson to Take Chip Lead

David Salituro

Level 40 : 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante

Samuel Laskowitz three-bet on the button to 10,000,000 and David Jackson called in middle position. Both players checked the flop.

Jackson led the turn with a bet of 10,000,000 before Laskowitz shoved all in.

Jackson shot back in his chair and removed his earphones upon seeing Laskowitz's shove. "You could have jacks. You would not do this with aces or kings," he contemplated as he went into the tank for several minutes.

"You got to have jacks. It's the only hand," he continued before eventually deciding to fold after thinking for around five minutes. He took out his phone for a picture of his hand before mucking as Laskowitz took the tournament chip lead.

Lots of Shoves, No Flops

David Salituro

Level 41 : 1,250,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante

Action folded to Sean Shah on the button who raised to 5,000,000 as the blinds got out of the way. Shah showed two aces.

"First time it had folded to me on the button," he said ruefully.

James Scott then moved all in for 11,000,000 and got no callers. The next hand, Jeff Loiacono got a shove through as this table hasn't seen a flop in quite some time.

Daniel Negreanu on Justin Bonomo: "Indoctrinated & Brainwashed Beyond Repair"

Chad Holloway

Level 41 : 1,250,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante

Daniel Negreanu went off on Justin Bonomo in his Monday WSOP vlog, accusing his high-stakes foe of being a "cheater" and said that he's "totally indoctrinated" by his social justice beliefs.

On Friday, after busting his second bullet in Event #50: $250,000 Super High Roller No-Limit Hold'em on a runner-runner bad beat, "DNegs" slammed his phone in frustration on the way out.

Most poker players on social media seemed to understand the frustration considering he's down nearly $1 million for the summer, but Bonomo was highly critical and went so far as to accuse the Poker Hall of Famer of "violence" and that incidents such as this could make others feel unsafe at the table.

Negreanu began his Day 27 World Series of Poker vlog by defending himself against Bonomo's tweets, and he didn't hold back.

"Someone sent me a tweet where Whacko Bonomo said that if he tied his shoes in front of someone that he wouldn't do it, because he's totally indoctrinated and a lost cause," Negreanu said. "The guy is a completely lost cause."

Scott Doubles Through Loiacono as Pelon Folds the Winner

David Salituro

Level 41 : 1,250,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante

Jeff Loiacono raised all in for 29,000,000 from under the gun. James Scott called for his last 12,000,000 in middle position before action folded to Jordan Pelon on the button.

Pelon gave the decision some thought before folding, leaving Loiacono and Scott going heads-up to the flop.

James Scott:
Jeff Loiacono:

The board ran out and Loiacono improved no further than the pair of sevens on the flop. Pelon admitted after the hand he folded pocket nines and would've busted both players.
