2023 World Series of Poker
A flop of 9♦4♦K♥ was seen by two players, who both checked.
The turn came an A♠ and Heidi Heimarck bet out from the big blind. Her opponent, in middle position, called.
On a 4♥ river, Heimarck bet 3,500 and received another call. She tabled 9♠9♥ and took down the pot.
Action was caught when Edouard Mignot from early position bet 2,200 on 9♠6♥A♦. In the cutoff, Heidi Heimarck raised to 5,000 and was called by Anthony March on the button. But in the small blind, Vitor Dzivielevski went all in for 23,800 chips.
Mignot quickly got out of this trap, but Heimarck seemed to have a decision. After some time, she called. Action went back to March, he moved all in too for 31,600 chips. With all that money in the pot and not much to add, Heimarck called.
Vitor Dzivielevski: 9♣6♣
Anthony March: 8♥7♠
Heidi Heimarck: A♣J♦
With two pairs on the flop, Dzivielevski was in the lead, but he had to avoid a lot of cards to win the pot, as March had a straight draw and Heimarck a pair of aces.
After the turn 2♣ and the river 7♣, Dzivielevski's hand stayed ahead, and he tripled up. Heimarck took the side pot, and March has been eliminated.
Action caught up on the river in a hand between Julien Martini in middle position and a player in early position, with the early position player checking to Martini on a board reading 8♦6♠9♦9♥5♣, and Martini firing a bet of 28,000.
Martini's opponent asked if he would "show this time?" And with a stone response from Martini, his opponent ended up making the fold.
"Show one," asked his opponent.
"Not this time," responded Martini. "But I had it," Martini added.
Kevin O'Donnell, Moundir Zoughari, and a third player all put in 3,500 preflop and a flop of J♣Q♦3♦ was spread.
O'Donnell checked from under the gun before the other player checked from middle position. Zoughari then bet 6,500 chips and O'Donnell folded.
The player in middle position then called, but only put in 1,600 chips.
"Sixty-five hundred," the dealer clarified.
"Oh sh*t," the player responded. "Never mind, just take it," he said as he gave the 1,600 chips to Zoughari and mucked his cards.
"I should wear my glasses," he concluded while Zoughari added some more chips to his stack.
On a heads-up river of 10♥8♥K♦7♠4♣, Valentino Konakchiev checked to his opponent who then bet 21,000 into the pot of 35,000.
Konakchiev then thought about this decision for about 30 seconds before he made the call.
His opponent then let out a sigh as he tabkled Q♥J♥ for a busted flush draw and Konakchiev proudly flipped over K♠8♠ for two-pair to win the pot.
Rick Salomon raised 800 in middle position and he was called by both Jeff Fenster and the big blind.
The flop came A♣9♥3♦ and once the big blind checked, Salomon bet 1,500. Only Fenster called.
The 7♣ hit the turn and Salomon continued for 2,000 and Fenster called so quickly it almost beat Salomon's chips in the pot.
The 8♦ completed the board and Salomon slowed down with a check. Fenster bet 5,000 and Salomon instantly called. Fenster tabled A♠10♣ but it was no good as Salomon out-kicked him with A♦Q♣.
The following hand, Joshua Whitson raised 1,200 under the gun and Rick Salomon three-bet 5,000 from a couple of spots to his left. The table folded around to Whitson and he made the call.
The dealer fanned a flop of 9♦6♦3♠ and Whitson check-called a bet of 5,000.
The 4♣ turn and the A♥ river were checked down and Whitson tabled J♣J♠ before Salomon mucked his hand.
