Ludovic Geilich raised under the gun to 8,000, finding two callers from middle position and the hijack.
The flop came down A♠7♣K♦. Geilich bet out for 14,000, earning a fold from both his opponents.
A player in the big blind bet 13,000 on the Q♦2♠4♣ flop. Scott Berko, in late position, then reraised to 35,000.
Berko's opponent took several moments before three-betting to 70,000. All eyes turned back towards Berko, who contemplated his next move. Berko moved all in, and his opponent instantly folded.
Nicholas Rigby opened to 10,000 from middle position and Nicholas Lee defended from the big blind.
Both players checked the J♥4♠5♦ flop. On the 9♥ turn Lee check-called a 20,000 bet from Rigby.
Both players checked the 2♥ river. Lee tabled 3♦2♠ for a flopped straight draw that turned into a rivered pair of twos and collected a small pot from Rigby using his signature hand against him.
Heads-up on a board of 5♠8♣K♣A♣, Haris Zambas bet 27,000 from early position before Henri Puustinen, in the big blind, raised to 60,000.
Zambas called and they saw the A♥ fall on the river. Puustinen now checked and Zambas moved all in.
Puustinen, with around 210,000 remaining, tanked for about a minute before folding.
Quan Zhou is the top stack at this table, having climbed over 700,000.
Roberto Rodriguez raised from early position and action folded to a short-stacked Bertrand Grospellier on the button, who shoved for his last 20,500. It was folded back to Rodriguez, who called after getting a count to put Grospellier at risk.
Bertrand Grospellier: A♠J♠
Roberto Rodriguez: K♣Q♦
The 6♥A♣A♥2♥6♦ runout kept Grospellier best with a full house and he doubled up.
In blind versus blind pot, the flop read 6♦2♥ when Lindsay Kido check-called Nate Silver for 8,000.
Both checked on the Q♦ turn and 9♥ showed up on the river. Kido checked one last time and Silver bet 12,000. Kido called but only to muck after Silver tabled Q♠10♣ for a pair of queens.
Popular rapper Hoodie Allen, who abandoned his stack on Day 2abc to fly across the country for his friend’s wedding, returned to Las Vegas on Sunday for Day 3 of the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, and abruptly busted minutes later when his pocket aces were cracked.
Allen, whose real name is Steven Markowitz, had the attention of the poker community, with many wondering whether he would make it back in time when play resumed.
A player in cutoff raised to 8,000, finding Shengchao Zhu in the big blind who defended.
On a flop of J♣6♣7♥, Zhu check-called a bet of 7,500 from his opponent.
The K♣ turn checked through to the 7♣ on the river. Zhu took the lead with a bet of 17,000. After some time in the tank, the cutoff eventually made the call.
Zhu tabled 9♥7♠ for rivered trips, earning him this pot.
Aubrey Kyburz raised from early position and John Quattlebaum flat-called from the button. Jon Kyte sat in the big blind and made a three-bet to 40,000, after which Kyburz jammed all in, covering both Quattlebaum's 200,000 stack and Kyte's smaller one.
Quattlebaum then called and Kyte looked at his cards with a grimace on his face. He spent a while thinking over his decision before ultimately folding his A♥K♠ face up. Thereafter, the other two hands were also tabled.
John Quattlebaum: K♠K♦
Aubrey Kyburz: Q♠Q♥
It turned out Kyte made a good laydown as he would have been dominated by Quattlebaum's kings. The board ran out low with 6♥2♣9♥7♠5♦ and Quattlebaum received a big double-up as a result, while Kyburz is also still in the plus on the day.
PokerNews was waved over to a table to be made aware of a monster hand that just took place:
There was an open to 5,000 from the under-the-gun player and four players made the call to go five ways to a flop of 10♥8♦8♥.
The action then checked all the way through the turn 6♣ and went to the river 3♣ where Jeffrey Shapiro led out for 5,000.
One player made the call but then Ross MacDowall raised to 37,000, to which Shapiro responded by clicking it back to 80,000.
The other players quickly got out of the way and MacDowall then moved all in for 270,000 and Shapiro snap-called.
Shapiro flipped over 10♣8♣ for a flopped full house of eights full of tens but it was no match for the 10♦10♠ of MacDowall for an even bigger boat of tens full of eights.
Shapiro sat there stunned as a large portion of his stack was separated from him and pushed in MacDowall's direction.
