Lauck Doubles With Set
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
With roughly 40,000 in the pot on a 
completed board, Paul Baksi bet 16,000 in early position. Jonas Lauck was in the cutoff and thought about it before moving in his 28,700 chips. Baksi asked for a count and mulled over his decision before putting in the calling chips.
Lauck tabled 
for a flopped set and his opponent mucked his hand, securing the double for the German bracelet winner.
In 2019, Jonas Lauck bubbled the Main Event and received a freeroll from the WSOP for the following year. ClubGG is offering Main Event bubble protection this year for players to get their full $10,000 buy-in back.

Hawkins Wins Battle of the Blinds to Go Over 100,000
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
The action folded over to Maurice Hawkins in the small blind, who opted to call. Jordan Scott, in the big blind, raised to 2,500. Hawkins then rereraised to 8,000 and Scott called.
The flop came 
and Hawkins continued for 13,000. Scott called.
On the 
turn, Hawkins put in 40,000, which was slightly more than Scott's stack. Scott went into the tank for about two minutes before eventually laying his hand down.
Hawkins, owner of a record 14 WSOP Circuit rings, is looking for his second Main Event cash. Two months ago, he was called out by his backer after failing to live up to a backing agreement.

D'Ambrosio Picks Up Where He Left Off
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Jimmy D'Ambrosio, who ran up a top ten stack in Day 1a, just picked up a sizeable pot early.
It was three-ways to a 
flop and the action checked to D'Ambrosio. He fired out 3,900 and only John Dolan called.
Dolan checked the 
turn and D'Ambrosio sized up to 14,000. Dolan called.
The river brought the 
and Dolan checked again.
"How much would you call?" asked D'Ambrosio.
He sized up his man before checking back.
"You're an accomplished player," he said. "But you're also capable of trapping."
Dolan was slowplaying as he showed a 
set of kings, but D'Ambrosio had that beat with for a king-high straight. D'Ambrosio's neighbor commented he might have gotten more, despite the three diamond board.
"He coulda check-raised me," said D'Ambrosio. "That's what I'm gonna do to you, check-raise the river."
"I'll offer you a Fiji water though," he said.
With that, D'Ambrosio is still rolling on his big stack early in the day.

WSOP Main Event Railbird Pays Back Daniel Negreanu Four-Year "Debt"
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Daniel Negreanu has had a disappointing 2022 World Series of Poker, and that didn't change on Day 1c of the Main Event, but he did receive a good luck charm from one player on the rail, so there's that.
A wholesome moment took place Tuesday evening inside Bally's when Arash Shahi, a fellow Canadian from Toronto, approached the GGPoker ambassador who was railing Negreanu's table during the $10,000 buy-in world championship event.

Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Thomas Boivin raised to 1,600 under the gun and Jose Catela called next to act as did the cutoff. The small blind called as well and Elanit Hasas jammed for 19,300 total. Boivin quickly folded, and Catela tanked for about 10 seconds before doing the same. The action was on the cutoff and he dropped a 25,000 chip across the line to call beofre the small blind tossed his cards into the muck.
Elanit Hasas: 
Cutoff: 
The flop came 
, giving Hasas top set and the hit the turn giving the cutoff a gutshot straight draw but the river was a brick sealing Hasas' double up.
"I was like 'come on aces in the big blind,' and holy sh*t I actually got aces in the big blind!" Hasas said with excitement after collecting the pot.
Catela piped in, "I would have made the nuts."
