Jon Sofen

Level 19

Phil Ivey could make history Thursday at the $50,000 Poker Players Championship if he were to take down the bracelet, which would be his first title at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) since 2014.

The widely accepted poker G.O.A.T. is one of three players — Johnny Chan and Doyle Brunson are the others — tied for second all-time with 10 WSOP bracelets. Phil Hellmuth, with 16 titles, is the record holder. But there could be just one player sitting in second place within the next 24 hours.

Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better

Level 21

Razz

Salim Valimahomed: 5x6x/10xJx2x8x/Xx
Jake Irvin: Ax6x/2xAx8x7x/Xx
Nghia "3 Putts" Le: XxXx/8x9x7x - folded fifth street

Valimahomed completed. Irvin then raised, and Le came along. Valimahomed also called all in for less.

Fourth street saw another bet from Irvin, with Le still coming along.

Irvin bet again on fifth street, and Le began to think. "How am I not ahead of both of you?" asked Irvin.

"I don't know," said Le, "you might have another ace under there." Le eventually folded before Irvin showed that he did in fact have a paired ace underneath. Le jokingly threw his arms up in the air.
