Foxen Busts One, Van der Spuy Also Gone

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

Alex Foxen raised to 2,000 from early position and Ronald Spooner called from the next seat over. Big blind Jordan Grant also came along and the flop of 7♦Q♣10♣ was dealt.

All players checked before Foxen was the one to put in a bet of 4,000 after another check from Grant. Spooner called and Grant folded, leaving a few big blinds behind.

The 6♥ river then fell and Foxen shoved all in, covering Spooner's 14,500 remaining chips. Spooner mulled it over before eventually putting in the call.

Foxen showed A♦A♣ for the overpair and they beat the K♦10♦ of Spooner by a wide margin. Spooner left the tournament area while Foxen raked in a nice pot to chip up.

Meanwhile, Day 1b chip leader Jean-Pierre van der Spuy has also exited Day 2abc, after a disappointing day.

Michael Latuf opened to 2,600 from under the gun and was called in two spots, including Barbara Sargent in middle position. Pedro Marques was one of the short stacks in the big blind and jammed all in for 17,400. Latuf called and Sargent reshoved all in as the big stack. Latuf thought for a minute but eventually decided to lay his hand down.

Pedro Marques: A♠A♥
Barbara Sargent: A♦K♠

"I folded the same hand," Latuf said to Sargent. As was the case, the board ran out 9♠8♣7♠Q♣4♦ and Marques tripled up with hardly any sweat at all.

Action was picked up in a multiway pot as one player raised to 2,000 which saw four players call including Julian Aguirre on the button and Espen Jorstad in the big blind.

The flop rolled out 10♦6♦9♠ and action checked around to Aguirre who bet 8,700. In the big blind, Jorstad raised to 26,300 and all other players folded. With action back on Aguirre, he moved all in for 64,000 effective and Jorstad shook his head.

"I'm not happy about it," Jorstad responded while reluctantly putting his chips in the middle to put himself at risk.

Espen Jorstad: 6♥6♣
Julian Aguirre: 8♥7♦

The board ran out A♥8♦ and the straight held up for Aguirre against Jorstad's set of sixes.

The pot was pushed to Aguirre while Jorstad wished his table luck as the 2022 WSOP Main Event champion exited the field, ensuring that a new champion would emerge.

Three ways to the 10♣4♥4♦ flop, the action checked to Jack Sinclair on the button and he bet 2,000. Jia Jun called out of the big blind before Alex Keating in the hijack check-raised to 7,000 off a short stack. Sinclair folded whereas Jun raised big to 75,000, which had Keating's stack of around 28,000 easily covered.

The call by Keating followed and the cards were exposed.

Alex Keating: A♥A♦
Jia Jun: 4♣3♣

Neither the 8♠ turn nor the K♦ river came to the rescue of Keating, who quickly left the tournament area. Farhad Jamasi was also no longer found on the same table either.

Lester Edoc started the action in the hijack with a raise to 2,000 and Jamie Kerstetter called in the cutoff. Fernando Rodriguez three-bet to 6,000 in the big blind and after Edoc called, Kerstetter shoved for 38,000.

Rodriguez didn't take long to call and Edoc got out of the way for the following showdown:

Jamie Kerstetter: A♣J♠
Fernando Rodriguez: A♥K♣

Kerstetter was in bad shape for her tournament's life, and busted after the board brought her no help with 8♦7♦6♥Q♦3♠

Isai Scheinberg, the Poker Hall of Fame nominee and founder of PokerStars, is in the field today but just dropped a pot against Brett Stern.

Stern and Scheinberg went to the turn on a board of 3♠7♣6♥3♣ when Scheinberg bet 10,000 from the small blind. Stern called in early position as the J♦ fell on the river.

Scheinberg now checked and Stern checked behind, showing Q♦Q♠. Scheinberg mucked 10♠10♣. "I put you on jacks, actually," Stern, who has nearly 50,000 subscribers to his "Brettski" YouTube channel, told the poker visionary after the hand.

Ryan Feldman, producer of the Hustler Casino Live show, three-bet to 6,500 from the button and Eli Elezra called in middle position.

Both players checked the 5♣Q♣5♥ flop before Elezra led out for 4,000 on the 2♥ turn. Feldman called and the 5♠ appeared on the river.

Elezra now tossed out another 5,000. "Why milk," Feldman joked with him.

"Nice fold," Elezra replied as he tapped the felt before Feldman had acted. Feldman eventually called and Elezra showed 6♣6♦ for a full house to win the pot.

The next hand, Feldman called a bet of 10,000 from small blind Sam Chartier on a flop of 5♥4♦2♦. The turn came the J♠ and Chartier now checked.

Feldman fired out 21,000 and Chartier quickly folded. "It if wasn't for Eli. I had to make my money back," Feldman said.

David "Bakes" Baker is also seated at this star-studded table.
