In a flurry of all-in and calls, the action was missed. Chris Varnell departed in 13th place late on Date 2.
Varnell will be going home with $23,700 for his efforts, his 5th and largest cash of this years world series.
With the board already dealt, and showing 9♥2♦10♣8♠5♠, Bradley Rhodes was all in and at risk, facing Peyton Ethridge in the small blind. Varnell at risk.
Bradley Rhodes: QxQx
Peyton Ethridge: J♠7♦
Ethridge's turned straight was good enough to bust Rhodes from the tournament.
Scott Bohlman raised under the gun to 2,500,000, finding William Fisher in the big blind who defended.
The flop came 6♦J♣Q♥, Fisher opted to play out of flow and lead for 2,500,000. Too much for Bohlman to call, he tossed his cards into the muck.
Loic Debregeas went all in from under the gun was called by Joseph Roh in the small blind, who covered.
Loic Debregeas: J♥10♥
Joseph Roh: A♦K♣
The board ran out 8♦4♦A♥4♠10♦, pairing Roh's ace and busting Debregeas
The 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) was the largest in history with 10,043 players, and for one player it proved to be a record-extending affair. From 2010-14, poker pro Ronnie Bardah cashed the WSOP Main Event a record five times, which was recognized on various ESPN broadcasts. However, that record seems to have fallen by the wayside as first brought to light by @TARKPOKER on Twitter.
You see, one player has managed to cash the WSOP Main Event, at least the live version, a record seven consecutive times (2016-23). The pandemic threw a monkey wrench into things in 2020 with the WSOP concocting an online-live hybrid Main Event, so technically this player didn’t cash every year. However, he has cashed the last seven live Main Events, an unrivaled accomplishment.
A short-stacked Bin Duan went all in from the small blind and was called by Shane Rose, who covered.
Bin Duan: Q♦Q♠
Shane Rose: K♥J♦
The flop came 9♦5♥8♠ and a 7♠ turn was hopeful for Duan, but a K♣ on the river brought a cruel end to his tournament.
Level: 38
Blinds: 600,000/1,200,000
Ante: 1,200,000
Players are on a 15-minute break.
Aiden O'Brien on the small blind, went all in preflop and was called by William Fisher in the cutoff.
Aiden O'Brien: 9♠9♥
William Fisher: Q♥J♠
The board fell 4♥A♦J♦7♦6♠, and O'Brien headed for the payout desk
