Recap of the Day

Lawrence Brandt
Lawrence Brandt

It didn’t take long for the field to start to be thinned, with Mauricio Ferreira Pais the first out the door, quickly followed by several others including John Racener in 20th place ($6,835), Andrew Brown in 18th ($6,835), and a Razz double elimination at the final two tables courtesy of Brandt.

Lena Wang’s quest for the title ended in 14th place, as did Andre Akkari’s in 11th place ($11,664). Not long after that, Greg Mascio was sent home in 10th place ($11,664) to set up the unofficial final table.

After starting the Day 3 in the chip lead, David Bach’s surprising crash ended his day in 9th place, as Gluszko left the “gunslinger” short, and he was then finished off shortly after by Kevin Gerhart.

The eliminations would slow significantly from there, with another bust out not coming until after the dinner break with the elimination of Yarron Bendor in 8th ($18,669), who fell in nasty fashion to running jacks on sixth and seventh against Brandt.

Following that however, Perry Friedman (7th - $24,403), Kristan Lord (6th - $32,583), and Gerhart (5th - $44,415) would be eliminated in quick succession, leaving just four players.

After a brief unscheduled break for discussion of how to proceed due to the rumors of an active shooter situation on the Las Vegas strip, which caused panic throughout various casinos, including Bally's and Paris, play continued, and Richard Tatalovich would be the day's final elimination in 4th place ($61,789).

The final three players would then trade chips back and forth until the day was called at the end of level 30, with Gluszko in the chip lead.

Day 4 Plan

Roberto Marin

The final three players will return to the Bally's Event Center at 2 p.m. local time to play to a winner. Action will start with level 31 and the first hand of a round of Razz.

PokerNews will be there until a champion is crowned, so stay with us for the thrilling conclusion of the final mixed-game event of the WSOP at its new home at Bally's and Paris Las Vegas.

Razz

Roberto Marin: {x-}{x-}/{2-}{4-}{q-} - folded fifth street
Tomasz Gluszko: {x-}{x-}/{3-}{4-}{5-}

Roberto Marin completed with a deuce and Gluszko made the call with his three.

Both players drilled fourth-street fours and Marin bet again, Gluszko called again.

Gluszko hit a five on fifth, much better than Marin's queen. Gluszko bet and Marin let it go.

Meanwhile, Lawrence Brandt paid the bring-in on seven out of eight Razz hands this round, avoiding it on only the last hand.

Stacks Even Again After Brandt Wins Big Pot

Level 30
Lawrence Brandt
Lawrence Brandt

Omaha 8 or Better

Tomasz Gluszko raised on the button and was three-bet by Lawrence Brandt in the small blind. Gluszko called and a big pot was already brewing.

On the {10-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{8-Clubs} flop, Brandt bet and Gluszko called.

The turn brought the {9-Clubs}, and again Brandt bet and Gluszko called.

The {8-Spades} fell on the river, pairing the board and ensuring there wouldn't be a chop of this sizeable pot.

Down to just 500,000 left, Brandt checked, then called a bet from Gluszko, who showed {j-Spades}{9-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for a pair of nines and a missed straight draw.

Brandt showed {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs} for a king-high flush for the winner to take a sizeable chunk out of the chipleader.

Gluszko Regains Chip Lead

Level 29

Limit Hold'em

With the blinds and antes now so high, each pot has the potential to be massive. Case in point is a recent clash between Tomasz Gluszko and Roberto Marin.

Marin raised the small blind and Gluszko called in the big blind.

On the {9-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop, Marin bet and was raised by Gluszko. Marin called, then checked the {a-Diamonds} turn. Gluszko bet and was now check-raised by Marin. Gluszko opted to call and the {9-Spades} fell on the river. He then bet and was quickly called by Marin.

Gluszko told his rail to make some noise as he turned over {9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for rivered trip nines, which he needed, as Marin showed {a-Hearts}{7-Spades} for a defeated top pair on the turn.
