Robert Kuhn Leads the Field After Day 1 of the $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em Freezeout
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Play has concluded on Day 1 of Event #59: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em Freezeout, here at the 2023 World Series of Poker at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. A total of 1,598 players entered the tournament, generating a total prize pool of $4,266,660, and the 240 who bagged up will return on June 27 to commence hostilities on Day 2.
After duking it out over 17 levels, the field was thinned to just 240 players, all of whom have cashed. When the dust had settled, it was Robert Kuhn who sat on top of the pile with a whopping 1,410,000 in chips, the only player to break through the one million barrier, although one player came super close also.

Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
https://twitter.com/angelajordison/status/1673560432249020416?s=46&t=Rrq-YfqQZcFvNe8G3ueRmw
On level 14 blinds were at 3,000/5,000 with a 5,000 big blind ante.
Phil Ivey opened on the button to 12,000 with 200,000 chips behind. Angela Jordison defended in the big blind.
The flop came J♠3♠5♠. Jordison check-raised a bet of 7,000 from Ivey up to 24,000. Ivey called.
The turn came the 8♥ and Jordison continued for 65,000.
"I'm all in" Ivey announced to the table. Jordison snap-called and Ivey continued "Now you have a story!" as he tabled his hand.
Phil Ivey: K♥9♣
Angela Jordison: Jx3x
Ivey was drawing dead and left to the rail by the river.

Appleberry's Efforts Bear Fruit
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Ryan Appleberry raised a player in early position, who then went all in. Applebury went into the tank for a minute or two, at one point asking, "Do you have kings or aces?" Unsurprisingly, he got no response.
A few moments later, Appleberry made the call, putting the early position player at risk.
Early Position: A♣K♥
Ryan Appleberry: Q♠Q♣
The flop came 5♦A♠2♦ leaving Appleberry drawing thin. But a Q♦ on the turn reversed the situation and a 10♠ on the river sealed his opponent's fate.
