Daniel Smiljkovic moved all in for his remaining 565,000 in early position.

Daniel Smiljkovic: A♠Q♣
Justin Bonomo: 7♠7♥

The dealer ran out 3♠J♣3♥5♣8♦, giving Bonomo the hand and sending Smiljkovic to the rail.

Meanwhile, Freddy Deeb, who was seated at the next table, was also observed gathering his belongings and leaving the tournament area after busting.

[Removed:565] collected the side pot and showed Q♦8♦ for the main pot. Kenney was left with A♠8♣ for just ace-high and [Removed:565] scooped everything.

Level 16 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Jonathan Jaffe was in early position with 830,000 when he moved all in.

Jonathan Jaffe: A♠K♥
Robl: A♥J♥

The dealer fanned A♣Q♦Q♠ on the flop, which put Jaffe’s kicker in play. The 5♠ on the turn and 3♠ on the turn cemented the win for Jaffe, who scored a double up.

Adrian Mateos opened to 160,000 from under the gun and Andrew Robl called from the big blind. The flop fell K♥K♦J♥ and Robl check-called a bet of 110,000 from Mateos.

The turn brought the Q♥ and Robl checked again. Mateos splashed in a bet of 425,000 but Robl stuck around for the A♦ on the river. Both players tapped the table and Robl tabled 9♥8♥ for a flush, much to the dismay of the Spaniard.

Level 16 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

A completed board of A♥K♥Q♣6♦9♠ was spread across the felt with Koray Aldemir and Justin Bonomo heads-up in the blinds. There was around 700,000 in the pot and Aldemir checked to Bonomo who bet 600,000.

Aldemir check-raised all in for 2,080,000 and Bonomo was left with a decision for his last 1,200,000 chips. Bonomo went deep into the tank for over two minutes with his head in his hands while Aldemir turned to the side to face away from his opponent. Bonomo eventually decided to fold and both players took a deep breath but it was Aldemir raking in the pot.

Level 16 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Cary Katz raised 160,000 under the gun and received a call from Jonathan Jaffe in the small blind.

The dealer fanned 2♣J♦9♦ on the flop, which Jaffe checked. Katz bet 100,000 and Jaffe quickly called.

The turn saw 6♥, and things got interesting. After Jaffe checked, Katz asked for a chip count.

“About 1,200,000,” Jaffe replied after counting his stack.

Katz then checked behind, prompting the dealer to place K♦ on the river.

Jaffe led out 260,000, which saw Katz come over the top with an all-in bet for 1,800,000, which had Jaffe covered.

Katz’s move put Jaffe in the blender, as he used two time bank chips to ponder the situation before he eventually folded.

Level 16 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Alex Foxen shipped all in for 305,000 in middle position and Justin Bonomo looked him up from the cutoff.

Alex Foxen: Q♦9♥
Justin Bonomo: A♠7♥

The board ran out K♠J♦8♠8♦6♥ and Foxen was unable to connect with the board as he exited the tournament area.

Nearby, Yang Wang raised to 200,000 on the button and Sean Winter shoved all in for 600,000 in the small blind. Wang called and tabled K♠10♣ against the 7♥7♣ of Winter.

It was a king on the K♣4♠3♦ flop that gave Wang the lead that he would not relinquish, sending Winter home as well.

"Sometimes the charts fuck you," Winter said on his way out.

Phil Galfond Offers Poker Hall of Fame Pick; Says Two Should Be Inducted Per Year

Phil Galfond has yet to make an appearance at the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP), and as he told PokerNews, right now he has no plans to play live.

“But who knows, plans change,” added Galfond, who has been playing online at WSOP.com.

While Galfond hasn’t been at the WSOP – well, at least Phil as his wife, Farah Galfond, has been competing – the three-time bracelet winner is still weighing in by his relatively new newsletter “PG’s Takes of the Week.”

One of the topics the online poker legend, who prior to the WSOP inserted himself in some drama involving Doug Polk and Charlie Carrel with a pointed letter, was that of the Poker Hall of Fame. Right now, the public is being solicited for nomination.

“The nominations for the Poker Hall of Fame are now open, presenting voters with a familiar dilemma: there are simply too many great options to choose from,” Galfond wrote before giving his picks.
