Weinman Jams Into Mizrachi

Level 15 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Daniel Weinman raised from under the gun and was called by Michael Mizrachi in the small blind. On the {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop, Mizrachi checked and subsequently called a bet worth 50,000 by Weinman to see the {2-Hearts} on the turn.

Mizrachi checked once more and Weinman moved all-in for 250,000 to win the pot uncontested, as Mizrachi reluctantly let go.

2022 WSOP Featured Females: Meet Wendeen Eolis, 1st Woman to Ever Cash Main Event

Level 15 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Wendeen Eolis
Wendeen Eolis

In the mid 1980’s, women were considered no factor in the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, and other than the famous rounder and professional gambler Thomas “Amarillo Slim” Preston, poker players rarely made headlines in the mainstream press. That all changed when Wendeen Eolis became the first woman to cash at poker’s “Big Dance.”

In the 1986 WSOP Main Event, Eolis battled some of the best players in the world, including Amarillo Slim, in a field of 141 runners. She was on her way to a 25th-place finish for a $10,000, return on her buy-in, and permanent bragging rights as the first woman in history to cash in the WSOP Main Event.

Eolis attributes her 1986 WSOP performance to a year of poker tutoring from one of the best, a “relatively” conservative game plan, and cooperative cards. She told PokerNews, “Even today, women can win more by bluffing less than men.”

Seiver Eliminated by Baker

Scott Seiver
Scott Seiver

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

David "ODB" Baker raised to 30,000 and Scott Seiver moved all in for his last 55,000. Action folded back to Baker who called.

Baker drew two, while Seiver needed just one.

Seiver showed he was drawing to {10-}{9-}{7-}{4-}, and after Baker revealed that he had made a {10-}{7-}{4-}{3-}{2-}, Seiver saw he was drawing dead and mucked his cards before leaving the table.

Level 14 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

As the flop came {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}, Aldemir gave it some consideration for one minute before he verbally announced a bet worth 195,000. The chips were not even pushed in yet when Seidel's cards already hit the muck.
