Raleigh Sends Opponent to the Chopper

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

All of the chips went into the middle at the turn board of 10♣8♥3♣7♣ with middle position moving all in for 17,200 against Raymond Raleigh in the big blind, who only just covered his opponent, making the call.

Middle Position: A♣10♠
Raymond Raleigh: J♦J♥

Middle position had top pair and the nut flush draw, but Raleigh was ahead with the over-pair. The middle position player stood up and grabbed his coat for extra equity, but the 4♦ was a brick and Raleigh took down the huge pot and sent his opponent to the exit.

Massive Stack In Front Of Muzzillo

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

"I moved from a table to here and I'm killing it," said Greg Muzzillo in front of his stacks. "How many players have I eliminated since I've been here?" he asked.

"You've probably kicked out six people," answered another player at the table.

Obviously, Muzzillo is having a good day and wanted to continue his successful run by calling from the big blind after a player under the gun opened.

On the 8♥8♦9♥ flop, he check-called for 1,000. Then on the 3♠ turn, his opponent bet 3,000. But it was a bit too much for Muzzillo, who preferred to fold and keep his stack over 100,000 chips.

"I Didn't See I Won"

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Action was caught when Jeannie Villareal was at risk for 6,900 chips against the button.

Jeannie Villareal: 7♥6♣
Button: 5♦5♥

According to the table and to her, Villareal wanted to be eliminated in order to rebuy. She stood up, grabbed her bag, and was ready to leave when the dealer revealed a board of 8♠5♣7♦, which gave her opponent a set.

However, the situation took an unexpected turn when the 7♠ appeared on the turn, giving Villareal trip sevens, but improving her opponent to fives-full. Then, thanks to the river 8♥, she improved to a bigger boat with sevens-full. Villareal thought she was out of the tournament, but to her surprise, she remained in the game with 18,000 chips.

Down to 2,800, her opponent went all in preflop on the next hand and was unlucky again, losing with K♣Q♣ against J♦9♦ on a board of 5♦9♥9♠4♣A♦.

It is another record-breaking field at the World Series of Poker as 2,671 players have registered to play in the Super Seniors, breaking the 2,669 set at the 2022 WSOP.

The number is expected to accelerate throughout the day as there is still the option to late register or reenter until 8.15 p.m. local time.

Eights Over Draws

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

A player limped in middle position and all players from the hijack to the big blind followed him to see the flop 5♣Q♥Q♠.

There was no more action on this street, as everybody checked. On the turn 3♠, the middle position player bet 1,000. The hijack gave his cards back to the dealer, but Marvin Gousac in the cutoff called as well as Marta Hilworth on the button.

Everybody checked once more on the river A♥ and they all flipped their cards:

Middle position: 7♣4♣
Marvin Gousac: 8♥8♦
Marta Hilworth: 9♠7♠

The middle position player tried to hide his hand but was forced to reveal it. "I have a missed straight draw," he said. Hilworth's flush draw didn't come in either, so the pot went into Gousac's hands thanks to his pocket eights.

There was 5,000 in the middle on the 7♥4♠2♣ flop and all of the chips went into the middle with Jeffrey Smith at risk for 14,600 in the small blind. Patricia Trowbridge, who was under the gun, covered Smith by 300 chips.

Jeffrey Smith: K♥K♠
Patricia Trowbridge: Q♦Q♥

Trowbridge was in deep water and the 6♠8♣ completed the board to decimate her stack to 300, while Smith completed the double-up.

Trowbridge was forced all in the next hand and was duly eliminated.

With 6,600 in the middle on the turn of K♥J♥7♣10♦, Jerome Dean bet 3,000 from the big blind and was called by the cutoff and the button.
