Sutton Scores a Big One

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The heads-up action was joined with around 80,000 already in the middle and a board of {7-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{6-Hearts}{j-Hearts} on the table.

Eric Sutton, the big blind, checked to his opponent in the big blind, who fired for 62,000. Sutton raised to 125,000 and earned a call.

On the {5-Clubs} river, Sutton led out for 194,000. After a bit of thought, his opponent tossed in a single chip to make the call. Sutton turned over {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for trip jacks. The opponent, before mucking or revealing his hand, just started counting out the 194,000 that he had just called, and sent the chips the way of Sutton, and his cards the way of the muck.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The action was picked up on a board {2-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{q-Hearts} with a pot containing around 100,000.

Daniel Charlton, in the small blind seat, bet 45,000 and faced a raise from Quentin Roussey worth 145,000. Charlton responded by shoving for 228,000, putting Roussey into a difficult decision. After some time, the French player folded and Charlton received the nice pot.

Updated Chip Counts in Bally's Silver

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Assorted Counts in the Bally's Event Center

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

On the river of a {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{2-Hearts} board, Nico Neizert checked out of the big blind and then faced a bet worth 80,000 by Robert Nur from one seat over. Neizert was sent into the tank for more than four minutes, shook his head and sent the cards into the muck. Several players at the table guessed he may have folded ace-queen but no cards at all were shown.

Josephy Gives It Up

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Action folded around to Cliff Josephy in the small blind and he limped. The big blind checked his option to send the two players heads-up to the flop.

Josephy checked on a flop of {4-Clubs}{q-Spades}{j-Clubs} and then called when his opponent led out for 4,000.

Both players checked through the {3-Diamonds} turn to see the {2-Diamonds} river. Josephy then checked for a third time and folded when the big blind tossed 5,000 into the middle. Despite losing the pot, Josephy is still sitting on a comfortable stack of 603,000 in his search for another deep run in the main event after finishing 3rd in the 2016 edition.

Hortin Makes Straight Flush, Simpson's Boat Sinks

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Action started on the turn in a heads-up put between Conrad Simpson and Dylan Hortin. There was about 45,000 in the pot. The board showed {j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

From the big blind, Hortin checked to Simpson, who bet 25,000. After some thinking, Hortin moved all in for 61,000. Simpson made the call immediately.

Dylan Hortin: {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Conrad Simpson: {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

Hortin had the straight, but Simpson had lots of outs with trips and the open-ender of his own. The river paired the board when the {j-Clubs} hit, giving Simpson the full house. Unlucky for him, though, it also gave Hortin the rare straight flush the take down the pot and keep his tournament hopes alive.

"I closed my eyes there for a minute," said Hortin, only to open them when a tablemate said, "Woah, straight flush."

Allen Scores Knockout with Full House

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Action was joined with around 30,000 in the pot and a flop of {9-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{10-Diamonds} having been dealt.

After a bet of 14,000 from middle position, Robert Allen raised to 45,000. Action then landed on the big blind, who moved all in for around 100,000. The middle position player got out of the way before Allen made the call, with his opponent just slightly covered.

Opponent: {9-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Robert Allen: {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}

The opponent had managed to flop top two pair, but was still behind to Allen's set. The {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} runout improved Allen to a full house, more than enough to score the knockout and scoop the pot, sending his opponent to the rail.

Gerhart Busts in Huge Pot

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Kevin Gerhart
Kevin Gerhart

Action was caught on the {8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop with around 105,000 in the pot.

Michael Rocco bet 70,000 from the big blind and was called by Kevin Gerhart on the button. Rocco sized up to 160,000 on the {3-Spades} turn and again was called.

The aggressor then put Gerhart to the test by moving all in as the covering stack on the {4-Hearts} river. Gerhart, with around 270,000 behind, counted out his chips and continued to think over the hand before making his decision.

In the end, Gerhart called and was shown the bad news as Rocco tabled his {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs} while Gerhart had pocket tens. He passed his stack to his opponent and wished the table luck on his departure.

Party Like its 2021; Kniep and Onikoul Share 2021 Main Event Memories

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Andreas Kniep
Andreas Kniep

Andreas Kniep and Arkadi Onikoul were spotted at the same table after Kniep had just chopped up a big pot with an opponent both making two pair with ace-king.

Those who are fans of the WSOP Main Event will recall that both players made a very deep run in the 2021 Main Event. But these two share more than that as were involved in one of the defining hands of Day 7 when Onikoul spiked a king to crack Kniep's aces which gave Onikoul a huge stack and cut Kniep down short. Had Kniep's aces held he would have been the overwhelming chip leader at that point in the tournament and likely would have ridden it to at least the final table. As it turned out, Kniep ended up finishing in 18th place while Onikoul used that huge hand to finish in 12th before himself succumbing in a huge hand vs eventual champion Koray Aldemir.
