Affleck Spends Time in the Tank

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Matt Affleck raised it up in the hijack and was called by the big blind. The flop came J54 and the big blind check-called a bet of 4,000 from Affleck.

The 5 paired the board on the turn and both players checked to the 7 on the river. The big blind checked once more and Affleck tossed in a bet of 7,500. The big blind jammed all in for 36,700 and Affleck asked for a count before diving into the tank. After a couple of minutes passed, Affleck finally dispatched his cards and his opponent collected the pot.

Misirian Doubles Through Foxen

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

John Misirian bet 2,200 from middle position and received a call from a player on the button before Kristen Foxen three-bet to 9,000 from the small blind. Misirian made the call and the player in the small blind got out of the way.

The flop came 365. Foxen bet 10,000 and Misirian raised all in for approximately 25,000. Foxen quickly called with a covering stack to put Misirian at risk.

John Misirian: 66
Kristen Foxen: JJ

Misirian had flopped a set to crack Foxen's overpair. The turn and river were bricks for both players and Misirian collected a full double up.

No 11th Bracelet As Johnny Chan Falls in 14th in WSOP $1,500 Big O

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Johnny Chan

As ten-time bracelet winner Phil Ivey competes in Day 2 of the $50,000 Poker Players Championship at the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP), another Poker Hall of Famer was looking for his eleventh piece of WSOP gold with a deep run in Event #41: $1,500 Big O.

Johnny Chan entered the third and final day of the Omaha event toward the bottom of the counts with 18 players remaining as the 1987 and 1988 Main Event champion hoped to finally break the three-way tie between himself, Ivey and the late Doyle Brunson in second place on the all-time bracelet list.

Sadly for poker fans sweating the $1,500 buy-in event, "The Master" was eliminated 14th place for $13,982 after a confrontation with Scott Abrams.
