Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Mikita Badziakouski raised to 800 from middle position and was three-bet to 2,400 by the player in the hijack. Action folded back around to Badziakouski, who called.

Both players checked on the 5♥J♦A♠ flop; however, Badziakouski led out for 6,000 when the 4♠ came on the turn and his opponent quickly folded.

Badziakouski, who won his first WSOP bracelet back in 2019, hasn't been able to build much momentum today and currently sits with 45,000.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Phillip Hayes opened to 1,100 from under the gun and received a call from Pin Jiang in middle position. "I call", shouted Luiz Chavez in the hijack, who was the last player who joined the hand.

On the flop J♠7♠3♦, Hayes continued to 2,200, and both Jiang and Chavez called. But on the turn 6♥, action slowed down as all three players checked.

The river was the 2♣, and Hayes checked once more. Jiang bet 2,700, a move action that made Chavez fold. Hesitant for a few seconds, Hayes called, but he mucked his cards when Jiang revealed A♣J♥.

Action was picked up on the turn with players heads up and the board reading J♠6♠J♣10♣. With about 30,000 in the pot David Johnson had moved all in from the button for his last 43,000, sending his opponent in early position deep into the tank.

After about two minutes the player in early position folded and Johnson triumphantly showed A♥K♣ for a bluff to scoop the pot.

The player in the cutoff raised to 1,000 and Charles Johnson in the big blind called. The flop came out 5♠3♥9♦ and the cutoff placed his bet of 800 and Johnson made the call after he checked.

The cutoff kept up the aggression on the turn Q♣ and Johnson was still sticking around.

On the river 10♦, the cutoff bet 10,500 and again Johnson called. The cutoff showed A♦Q♦ for top pair and Johnson tabled 10♥9♥ for two pair.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

The 2017 Main Event winner Scott Blumstein was three-ways on a J♥6♠2♦ flop from under the gun. The player in the big blind checked to him and Blumstein checked as well. The third player in early position bet 1,200 and only Blumstein called.

Both players checked on the 5♦ turn, but then Blumstein bet a paltry 700 on the 2♣ river. It was enough to get a fold, however, and Blumstein chipped up.

Counting Blumstein, there are currently five former Main Event champions in the field including Ryan Riess (2013), Joe McKeehen (2015), Koray Aldemir (2021), and Espen Jorstad (2022).

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

A player in early position opened to 1,200 and received calls from Mike Matusow in the hijack, a player in the cutoff, a player on the button and a player in the big blind.

The flop came 7♣5♠2♠. Action checked around to Matusow who bet 2,200, receiving a call only from the player in the cutoff.

Matusow fired again on the K♦ turn and after about a minute of deliberation the cutoff folded, allowing Matusow to drag in a sizable pot.

On a heads-up turn of J♠6♦3♥7♠, Vivian Saliba checked to Nick Schulman on her left who then bet 3,000.

After thinking for a few seconds, Saliba then check-raised him to 6,500, which made Schulman look puzzled but he made the call anyways to see the Q♥ on the river.

Saliba then announced a bet of 14,000 and this made Schulmann look extremely puzzled, shaking his head multiple times and looking around the room for some kind of sign. He evently tossed his cards into the middle at which point Saliba asked if he wanted to see and he then flipped over her cards to expose 4♦4♥ for a whopping pair of fours to win here the pot.
