2023 World Series of Poker
Jason Berilgen raised from middle position and was three-bet by Daniel Zack in late position. Berilgen called and the players saw a flop of K♦K♠10♥.
Berilgen check-called a bet from Zack and the dealer turned the 10♠. Berilgen check-called again and it was off to the 5♣ river, where Berilgen would this time check-raise a bet from Zack.
Zack put in the call and announced, "full house," but quickly took it back. "Oh, wait, no, I don't have it, I thought I did," said Zack who then tabled A♦K♣8♦3♣ for trip kings. It would not be good enough as Berilgen showed A♣10♣6♥5♠ for a rivered full house, leaving Zack low on chips.
Only 77 players remain as several notables have been sent to the rail recently such as Mike Thorpe, David "Bakes" Baker, Chad Eveslage, Gregory Jamison, and Allen Kessler.
Table big stack Christopher Stephan tangled with Sampo Ryynanen as they got multiple bets in on the 6♦5♣2♦7♥ turn and 2♣ river. Ryynanen tabled the A♠Q♥5♦2♠ for deuces full of fives but was stunned when Stephan revealed his A♣K♠7♣2♥ for a better full house. Both played the same live low and Stephan earned three quarters to further boost his big stack.
When the cards were on their backs already, Jose Paz-Gutierrez was the player at risk for 18,000 post flop with the A♠10♣7♠2♥. He only faced Nick Guagenti in showdown, who briefly showed his cards on the 9♠6♠5♣8♣K♠ board but mucked A♦5♠ and two blank cards.
Picking up the action on the J♥7♦5♠8♦ turn, Johannes Becker checked in the small blind. Bryce Yockey bet from under the fun and was called by Erik Seidel on the button, Becker also stuck around. That led them to the 4♥ river on which Becker checked, Yockey bet and Seidel raised to earn calls from both opponents.
Seidel tabled his A♦6♠5♥2♠ for an eight-high straight and the nut low. Becker's A♥J♣9♥2♦ and Yockey's A♠7♠4♣2♣ earned just one third of the low pot. "I think I fucked this up," Yockey concluded.
The betting was fast and furious between Christopher Stephan and Ryan Hughes, with both players taking turns reraising each other on subsequent betting rounds.
On a final runout of K♥6♠J♠10♦5♦, both players tabled similar hands. Stephan showed A♣Q♠7♠5♣ and Hughes turned over A♠Q♦9♥3♣ for two ace-high straights.
On a three-way flop of Q♠6♣4♦, Zachary Freeman got out of the way when Andrew Kelsall bet in the cutoff and Craig Chait called on the button. The same action repeated on the 5♠ turn and 8♠ river as Kelsall tabled the A♣3♥2♥2♦ for the nut low and a six-high straight.
Chait showed his A♠K♠6♦4♠ for the ace-high flush and they chopped the pot.
