According to Angela Jordison, she picked up pocket aces against the pocket kings of Karina Jett in a preflop contest and came out on top to boost her stack. Various updated chip counts in the same section can be found below.
The 2020 WSOP Main Event winner Damian Salas has been hovering around the same stack for an extended period. He just opened to 2,200 and earned a single caller, who then check-called Salas' continuation bet on the A♥9♣8♦ flop for 2,100. Both checked the 4♠ turn and the 2♣ fell on the river.
It checked to Salas and his bet worth 5,100 won the pot uncontested.
The under-the-gun player raised to 2,400, Shaun Deeb in the hijack called, as did Daniel Sewnig in the big blind.
The hand checked down to the river as the full board now read 5♦6♠9♣A♥4♥. Sewnig took the lead with a bet of 6,000, which the original raiser called and Deeb folded.
Sewnig tabled 6♦5♣ for a flopped two-pair which sent his opponent's card to the muck.
Haylay Hanna has been slowly chipping up throughout the day and just added some more chips without showdown. Ben Diebold had defended against her raise and check-called a bet of 2,500 on the 7♦7♣3♠ flop. Once the A♦ appeared on the turn, Diebold checked once more and Hanna's second barrel for 6,000 took it down right there.
As relayed to PokerNews from the players at his table, Jeremy Ausmus was recently eliminated.
Ausmus, who was already short-stacked starting the hand with about 11,000, moved all in from the button with 10x9x offsuit, and was called by Steven Madsen in the big blind, who had Ax4x suited.
The board offered no improvement for Ausmus, ending his main event run while Madsen collected his chips.
Sergio Aguero is one of the most famous footballers from Argentina, behind Messi of course, and he made his home in the Premiere League for roughly 10 years with Manchester City. Now Aguero finds himself on a different kind of green felt at the poker table on Day 2abc of the WSOP Main Event. PokerNews decided to hang around and catch a few hands with the football star.
Hand #1:
Dustin Holladay opened to 2,500 in the hijack and Aguero called on his left along with both of the blinds. The flop came Q♦9♦4♣ and Holladay continued with a bet of 4,600 which only Aguero called.
The turn was the 3♦ and both players checked to the 7♠ on the river. Holladay fired out a bet of 15,000 and Aguero called after some deliberation. Holladay tabled 10♦7♦ for a flush while Aguero could only muster a pair with Q♠J♦.
Hand #2:
Aguero took a few hands off before his big blind rolled around. Brandon Williams raised to 2,500 in early position and both Holladay and Aguero called in the blinds. The flop fell Q♣10♦2♣ and Williams continued with a bet of 3,500. Holladay called and Aguero stepped aside.
The turn brought the 6♦ and Holladay check-called a bet of 10,000 from Williams. The 9♥ completed the board and Holladay checked again. Williams over-bet jammed all in, putting Holladay to the test for his remaining 75,000 chips. Holladay thought for a minute and then stuck in some chips to call. Williams tabled 8♣7♣ for a backdoor straight while Holladay hit the rail with A♠Q♥.
Hand #3:
Two hands later, Alan Munoz raised to 2,500 from under the gun and Aguero flat-called on the button. They went heads-up to a flop of J♦10♠6♦ and Munoz led out with a bet of 2,500. Aguero raised to 15,000 and Munoz said that was too much.
"Ten thousand?" Munoz pleaded and Aguero jokingly took some chips back. Munoz folded and Aguero was shipped the pot.
"No more flushes," Aguero said quietly.
Lester Edoc opened to 2,400 and only got called by Fernando Rodriguez in the small blind. The flop revealed J♣A♣2♥ and Rodriguez check-called Doc's continuation for 2,100.
On the 8♠ turn however, Rodriguez quickly check-folded after Edoc sent 9,200 in the middle.
Chipleader of his table, Xiaohu Liu opened to 2,500 from the hijack, and he was only called by Ethan Bennett in the big blind.
On the flop K♣9♣7♥, Liu bet 1,700, and was called once again by Bennett. Then on the turn 5♠, both players checked.
The river brought the A♠, and Liu added 2,500 chips to the pot. However, Bennett decided to check-raise to 8,000. Liu called, and expressed his disappointment when Bennett showed him 9♦9♠ for a set. "I had AxKx" said Liu, who still maintains a big stack.
Heads-up on a board of 6♦9♥9♦8♥, Feiyue Wu bet 20,000 from the cutoff and Andrew Graham called in the small blind.
The river came the 8♦ and Graham checked over to Wu again, who this time fired out 62,000.
Graham sat motionless behind his sunglasses for several minutes before he mucked his hand.
