Jacobson Hits the Rail

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

All the chips went in the middle preflop between the two shorts stacks Joashua Jacobson and Christopher Kirshak, who had him slightly covered:

Joshua Jacobson: {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Christopher Kirshak: {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

Jacobson found at first a board {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and had good hopes for a double up but the river fell the {j-Hearts} to give two pair to Kirshak and eliminate him from the tournament.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Oliver BIles
Oliver BIles

Oliver Biles arrived at his new table with a massive stack and recalled a hand in which he doubled through Wendell Barnes. According to Biles, he three-bet to 16,000 with the {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} on the button and was called by the initial raiser Wendell Barnes in the hijack.

On a {a-Clubs}{k-}{8-Clubs} flop, Barnes check-called a bet and then check-raised the {q-} turn to around 130,000 for Biles to call. The river paired the board with another queen and Barnes check-called the shove by Biles for 188,000 with {j-}{10-} for a straight to get shown kings full.

Bruschi Folds River

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Renan Bruschi opened to 6,000 from middle position and was called by Mario Navarro and Hamid Nourafchan from the button and big blind respectively.

Action checked to the Navarro on the {6-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Spades} flop and he bet 4,500. Only Bruschi called.

Bruschi then check-called for 10,000 on the {10-Spades} turn. Bruschi checked the {q-Diamonds} river and his opponent sized up to 32,000. Bruschi mulled over his options before deciding to let his hand go.

Sammartino Sizes Up on River

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Three players were on a flop of {5-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{2-Hearts}. Dario Sammartino was in position on the button and he bet 6,500. Chiraag Patel called from the big blind and the third player in the hand in middle position folded.

The turn was the {4-Spades}. Both players checked it. The river came the {j-Hearts}. Sammartino bet 25,000 into a pot of around 30,000. Patel took little time before he pitched his cards into the muck.

Lee Gets A Boost

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

john McNulty made it 5,000 from middle position and was called by Stanley Lee and Joe McKeehen from the blinds.

Action checked through on the {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{9-Clubs} flop through to the {10-Diamonds} turn. Lee led out for 9,500 and his opponents quickly mucked.

Simon Puts Matte to the Test

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

On a completed board of {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} Scott Matte was faced with a large bet from his opponent Wes Simon. The bet was 100,000 into the already sizable pot of 132,000 and Matte's tournament life was on the line.

After considerable time in the tank, Matte finally made the call and heard those sweet sweet words from Simon...

"Nice call," he said as he turned over {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for one pair and straight blockers.

Matte then proudly turned over {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades} for just one pair of aces to take down the substantial pot for a full double up.

Barstool Sports is beginning to have a stronger influence in the poker world, and Isaac Haxton isn't sure if that's a good thing or not. But many others — recreational players and pros alike — are fans of the media giant, and support the exposure Barstool brings to the game.

At the 2022 World Series of Poker, a number of Barstool personalities, some from the popular Cracking Aces poker podcast, competed in the Main Event. While most were felted before the end of Day 2, Adam "Smitty" Smith, aka "General Spank," will enter Saturday's Day 3 session with an above-average stack.

Shorr Makes Right Call

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

The heads-up action was picked up with a complete board of {4-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{5-Spades}{k-Clubs}{a-Clubs} on the felt and around 100,000 already in the pot.

Shannon Shorr fired for 34,000 from middle position before his opponent, Douglas Arauj Ferreira in the hijack, put in a raise to 95,000. Shorr went into the tank for a minute or two, but eventually made the call, tossing in a single chip.

Ferreira showed {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades} for a pair of kings, while Shorr turned over {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} for a set of kings, plenty to take the pot and build his chip stack even higher.

Quads For Pontin

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

The board read {8-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{7-Spades}{7-Hearts}. Mathieu Pontin had jammed all in and Benjamin Hamman was in the tank. Eventually, he called right as clock was called.

Hammann had the {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades} but it was no match for the {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} quads of Pontin who gathered in a double up.
