Peters Going After Bracelet #5, Maintains Lead over Jaffe

David Peters, fresh off winning Event #2: $100,000 High Roller Bounty for his fourth WSOP bracelet, is already back on the felt going for number five.

In his first match against Jonathan Jaffe, Peters is off to a solid start, recently scooping a 23,000 chip pot after his river bet of 14,000 on the {q-Spades}{2-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{9-Spades} board went uncalled.

Rheem, Elias, and Gonzales all Move On to Round 2

Stanford and Martini Open Up Leads

William Stanford has put Phil Galfond on the edge by claiming yet another pot. The board read {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} and Stanford led out with a bet of 16,500. Galfond called and the {3-Clubs} landed on the river. Stanford fired out another bet of 36,000 and Galfond tanked for a couple of minutes before calling.

Stanford turned over {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and Galfond was forced to give up his hand. Galfond did manage to double up his short stack shortly after but still remains a huge underdog.

At the table next door, Julien Martini slid out a turn bet of 11,000 on a board reading {10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. Anthony Zinno called and the {8-Clubs} completed the board.

Martini checked this time and Zinno threw in a bet of 30,000. Martini check-raised to 80,000 which put Zinno in the tank for nearly five minutes. He eventually laid his hand down and Martini took a chip lead in their matchup.

Ivey Folds River Shove, Puustinen Stays Alive

Henri Puustinen is still alive in the Heads-Up Championship after Phil Ivey folded to his all-in bet on the river.

With about 30,000 in the pot and {7-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{a-Spades}{k-Clubs}{2-Clubs} on the board, Puustinen put his remaining 34,000 chips into the middle.

Ivey went deep into the tank for nearly three minutes, staring the Finn down before swiveling in his chair and looking upwards to contemplate his decision.

After another stare down and counting out calling chips, Ivey exhaled and let his hand hit the muck.

The {2-Diamonds} completed the board and Kalas checked. Vieira bet 9,200, and Kalas thought for a bit before deciding to raise to 21,900.

Vieira tanked for several minutes and alternated between staring at the board and his opponent, while Kalas continued to look down and shuffle chips. Eventually, Vieira counted out the calling chips and tossed them in, as Kalas tabled {6-Diamonds}{5-Spades} to extend his lead with a straight.

Over three minutes later, Gisler finally called and Elias showed {8-Diamonds}{6-Spades} for the nuts. Gisler was forced to show {a-Clubs}{6-Hearts} as he passed over a large portion of his chips.

Gostisa Gets Paid on the River, Takes Lead over Aldemir

Rok Gostisa and the 2021 WSOP Main Event Champion Koray Aldemir bumped heads in a wild hand that gave Gostisa a sizable chip advantage.

After Gostisa called Aldemir's three-bet of 12,600, the flop came {5-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}. Aldemir's 5,800 chip continuation bet was called after 30 seconds.

Following the {6-Diamonds} turn, Aldemir sat for over a minute before deciding to check. Gostisa responded with a bet of 8,500, which Aldemir called after another minute in the tank.

With the {10-Diamonds} on the river, Aldemir opted to lead for 4,000 - less than 10% of the pot. Gostisa came back with a 35,000 raise, which was snapped off by Aldemir.

Gostisa showed {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} and scooped the pot after Aldemir puffed his cheeks and showed the {j-Diamonds}.
