Connor Richards

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The eventual winner of the currently underway Event #67: $1,000 Ladies Event Championship at the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) will not only take home a bracelet and $192,167 but will also earn a special place in poker history. That's because with its 1,295 entries on Day 1, the event is the largest Ladies Event to ever take place in poker.

The previous biggest WSOP Ladies Event took place in 2007 with 1,286 entries and saw Sally Boyer defeating Anne Heft to win $262,077. Last year's WSOP Ladies Championship drew 1,074, making for a 20% increase this time around.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

A player in early position raised to 3,500, and Luc Lefebvre three-bet to 10,000 in the cutoff. The button pushed his entire stack across the betting line and Douglas Williams asked for a count in the small blind. After hearing it was 15,900 and eyeing Lefebvre's stack, he announced all in and pushed a stack of reds forward.

The early position raiser called off his stack of about 30,000 and Lefebvre instantly did the same with 68,700.

Early Position: Q♣Q♠
Button: 9♣9♥
Douglas Williams: J♦J♠
Luc Lefebvre: K♣K♦
