Dan Cates: XxXx / 10♦7♣5♠A♠ / Xx
Viktor Blom: XxXx / 3♥3♣2♥9♣ / Xx
Defending champion Dan Cates continues to build his stack and added even more chips just now. In a heads-up pot to sixth street, he bet when checked to by Viktor Blom and the Swede called. Cates bet again seventh street and Blom elected to muck.
After the hand concluded, Dustin Dirksen asked Chris Brewer whether or not there had been any celebrations the previous night. "I had two beers and that's it, I was so tired," Brewer replied before adding that he isn't tired at all today.

In the sixth episode of The Chad & Jesse Poker Show, Chad Holloway and Jesse Fullen are joined by GGPoker Ambassador Jason Koon, who took some time before jumping into the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) $250,000 Super High Roller.
Koon talks about expecting his second child, and as fate would have it, the day after recording his wife went into labor and he had to pull out of the aforementioned tournament. In addition to sharing what it's like being a family man, Koon discusses integrity in poker, his personal goals, and a never-before-shared prop bet he has with Bill Perkins.
Koon, who currently sits fifth on the all-time poker money list according to The Hendon Mob with nearly $48 million, also discusses his love of poker history, shares a Doyle Brunson story, and just opens up about poker and life. Don't miss your chance to hear from one of the best.

Limit 2-7 Triple Draw
On the second draw already, Albert Daher discarded two while a short-stacked Ian Johns took one while already at risk. Daher then patted and Johns took one again.
Daher tabled his 8x7x6x5x3x and Johns was drawing with the 8x4x3x2x. He sighed, shook the head and tossed the final card into the muck before heading to the rail.

Level 7
No-Limit Hold 'em
Chris Moneymaker was recently seen leaving the table, with "The Tournamen-ator" as he told PokerNews, Dan cates, gathering his chips.
As told by the players at the table, on a flop of 4♦3♥A♦, action was checked to Daniel Alaei in late position who bet 12,000. Dan Cates called on the button and then Chris Moneymaker check-raised to 50,000 from the small blind.
Alaei folded, but Cates then back-raised all in and Moneymaker called off.
Chris Moneymaker: 10♦9♦
Dan Cates: K♦5♦
Both players had flush draws with Cates holding the better one, but Moneymaker picked up a pair on the 9♥ turn. Cates was bailed out on the river, though, as the 7♦ hit, giving both players a flush, with Cates holding the winning one.

Stud Hi Lo
Brian Rast: 6♥5♣4♦/6♦7♣6♣9♥
Dan Zack: XxXxXx/8♥8♦6♠K♥
Andrew Brown: XxXx/5♠7♠
Action started with Andrew Brown brining it in with the 5♠. Dan Zack then brought it in and Brian Rast did too. Each player was pitched fourth and Zack bet. Rast called and Brown Folded. On fifth street Rast called another bet from Zack. Sixth also went bet and call and seventh was pitched to each player.
Zack then slowed down and checked. Rast thought for a moment before putting out the bet. Zack made the call but shook his head and mucked when he saw Rast had the case six for trips as one of his down cards.
Rast would scoop and Zack would be left on fumes.
