Jordan Westmorland opened to 100,000 from under the gun before Nicholas Gerrity made it 300,000 on his direct left. Aditya Systla called from the button.
Westmorland then jammed as the covering stack and Gerrity called off his last 2,600,000 before Systia folded.
Both players had KxKx and they chopped the pot after the A♥2♠5♦10♦6♣ runout.
Both players appeared relieved that the spoils were shared.
Osman Ihlamur raised 100,000 in middle positon and Johan Espholm defended the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of J♠8♥4♣, and Espholm check-called a bet of 75,000.
The J♥ hit the turn, and Espholm checked to Ihlamur as he continued for 250,000. Espholm paused for 30 seconds before raising to 500,000. Ihlamur called.
The A♠ fell on the river, and Espholm paused again for about the same time frame before checking, and Ihlamur checked back. Espholm tabled K♥Q♥ for a busted flush draw and Ihlamur dragged the pot with J♦9♣.
Steven Snyder opened to 100,000 from early position and was called by Nate Silver from the button.
Snyder check-called for 100,000 and 225,000 on the flop and turn for the final board to read J♠2♣6♥5♦7♣.
Snyder check-folded on the river to a bet of 320,000.
Shortly after, Snyder was all in for his last 620,000 and was at risk to Silver.
Steven Snyder: 5x5x
Nate Silver: A♦K♦
Snyder doubled up following the Q♥J♣8♠3♦7♥ runout.
Artem Metalidi opened to 100,000 in middle position and Frank Bonacci three-bet to 325,000 in the small blind. Metalidi called.
Bonacci continued for a small 125,000 on the A♥4♦3♦ flop and Metalidi called. Bonacci then checked on the 8♥ turn and Metalidi checked back.
Bonacci checked once more on the K♥ river and Metalidi checked back. Bonacci showed A♦6♦ for a pair of aces and it was good as Metalidi mucked.
Yu Tang and Tim Van Loo were heads up on a completed board of 2♣J♠5♥J♣6♦. Tang led out for 140,000 into a pot 525,000.
Van Loo thought about it for a bit before he chucked in a call. Tang showed 8♦8♣ for two pair and took down the pot.
On the river of a three-way pot with the board showing 10♥6♦4♦K♠2♥, Joe Ghio pushed all-in for 890,000. Christopher Kimmel folded and so did Masato Yokosawa.
Yokosawa then opened to 100,000 in the cutoff for all three players behind to call. The 10♥7♠6♣ flop was checked to Yokosawa and he bet 175,000. Only Ghio called and then led the Q♠ turn for 300,000, Yokosawa folded.
Sokchheka Pho moved all in for 250,000 from under the gun and Yehuda Dayan called in the hijack.
Sokchheka Pho: Q♣9♠
Yehuda Dayan: A♦J♥
The board ran out 6♣4♦3♠10♥8♠ and Pho received no help as he tapped the felt and wished his now-former tablemates luck before heading for the exit.
Day 5 of the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event has provided some memorable moments, none more so than a huge pot played between Nicholas Rigby and Chance Kornuth, who busted in the hand.
Shortly after moving to the PokerGO feature table, Kornuth ran into a tough situation against one of the loosest and most aggressive players in the field, who also just so happened to be among the chip leaders.
