Nguyen Forces Out Slobodskoy

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

With around 22,000 in the middle to the {k-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{2-Spades}{4-Diamonds} river, Thi Xoa Nguyen bet 20,000 on the button and that sent [Removed:499] in the big blind deep into the tank. Eventually, Nguyen called the clock on Slobodskoy, who nodded when the floorman arrived and asked if there was enough time to act.

The thirty seconds ran down without any decision and Slobodskoy's hand was dead while Nguyen raked in the pot with a smile on the face.

Advaney Jams and Shows the Nuts

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

Four ways to the {q-Hearts}{10-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop, Sunita Advaney bet 7,000 and was called by three opponents including Amnon Filippi in the hijack and Anton Morgenstern on the button. The {3-Hearts} fell on the turn and Advaney now moved all-in. She forced three folds and flashed the {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} with the words "I didn't want anyone to boat up".

Filippi mentioned in the table chat he folded the top two pair while Morgenstern was also on a flush draw.

BREAKING: Phil Hellmuth at 2022 WSOP $3,000 NLH Final Table, Chasing 17th Bracelet

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante
Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth

Phil Hellmuth has set out to win 24 World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets in his lifetime. On Saturday night, he has an opportunity to get one step closer to that lofty but realistic goal.

The "Poker Brat" is one of eight players remaining in Event #65: $3,000 Freezeout No-Limit Hold'em at the time of publishing.

Hellmuth currently has 16 bracelets, a record by a wide margin. Johnny Chan, Doyle Brunson, and Phil Ivey are tied for second place with 10. Should he come out victorious on Saturday night, he'll make it difficult for anyone to catch up over the next decade, and possibly beyond.

The $3,000 NLH Freezeout attracted 1,359 entries and will play down to a winner tonight. That individual will not only take home a shiny gold bracelet, but also $598,173. For the Poker Hall of Famer, it would take him above the $28.5 million mark, according to Hendon Mob.

"One For the Champ"

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

Three ways to the {j-Hearts}{9-Spades}{5-Spades} flop, Scott Blumstein checked in the big blind and Matthew Wantman bet 2,000 in the cutoff. Brandon Adams folded on the button and Blumstein called. The {a-Spades} fell on the turn and Blumstein bet 5,500.

Wantman folded rather quickly and said he had a decent hand including the jack of spades with the words "one for the champ". Blumstein revealed one of his cards, which happened to be the {10-Spades}, and was then jokingly labeled as PLO specialist.

"I might not even play the Main Event, this is by far more fun" Blumstein replied but that was probably just a joke.

Khoa Luong: {8-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Spades}
Christopher Csik: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}
