Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Jinwoo Kim opened to 65,000 and Alexander Villa defended from the big blind.

Both players checked the K♦9♦3♣ flop leading to the A♦ turn. Villa bet 125,000 and received a call from Kim.

On the 8♠ river Villa bet again, this time for 350,000 which was enough to force a fold from Kim.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Yilu Yuan moved all in for 420,000 from early position and Thiago Crema called next to act. Action folded around to Pei Li on the button, and he announced a reshove for his last 1,520,000. Crema spent several minutes in the tank before he called, having Li barely covered.

Yilu Yuan: 9♦9♥
Pei Li: K♣K♠
Thiago Crema: J♠J♣

Li had woken up with kings and moved further in front on the K♦5♦2♥ flop with top set. The Q♠ turn left both opponents drawing dead, and he secured the massive pot following the Q♣ river. Yuan was eliminated, while Crema handed over most of his stack.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

John Racener opened to 60,000 from late position before Tony Dunst three-bet to 230,000 out of the small blind. Action folded back around to Racener who came over the top for 645,000. Dunst just called to send the two players to the flop with over 1,000,000 already in the middle.

Dunst checked following the 4♠J♣6♥ flop and then called a continuation of 390,000 from Racener.

The 2♦ turn saw Dunst check for a second time at which point Racener decided to bet enough to force his opponent all in. Dunst wasted little time in making the call for his tournament life.

Tony Dunst: A♥A♣
John Racener: K♠K♥

Dunst had picked up pocket rockets at the perfect time to set himself up well for a massive double up. The river brought no miracle for Racener, instead bricking out with the 2♣ to send one of the biggest pots of the day to Dunst.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

On the Q♥4♥2♦ flop, Curtis Muller checked to Matas Dilpsas who fired a bet of 110,000 into the pot of about 375,000. Muller called.

The Q♠ paired the board on the turn, and Muller took the lead, betting 150,000. Muller thought about it for about a minute and made the call.

When the A♣ fell on the river, Muller checked to Dilpsas who sat there in silence for about 15 seconds before asking the dealer to spread the pot. Eventually, he jammed for 460,000 and Muller's cards hit the muck.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Jason Liu opened to 65,000 from the hijack and faced a three-bet to 180,000 from cutoff Zachary Hall. The action folded back to Liu and he opted to call.

The pair then checked through the flop of K♠10♠6♣ before Liu check-called a 175,000 bet on the 8♥ turn.

The river saw the A♦ complete the board and Liu now faced a bet of 290,000 after he had checked again. This time, he elected to fold his hand and Hall won the pot.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Jeff Gross raised to 60,000 in the cutoff and was called by Dean Lyall in the big blind. On a K♠4♠2♦ flop, Lyall opted to check-call for 65,000 and both then checked down the A♠ turn as well as the 9♥ river.

Lyall exposed his 7♥4♥ for a pair of fours and Gross glanced up from his massage to check the cards on the other side of the table before mucking his own.

Seymour Felts Qi

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Picking up the action partway through the hand, Richard Seymour on the button had Xuming Qi in the big blind all in and at risk.

Xuming Qi: 8♠8♣
Richard Seymour: A♠5♦

Qi, though at risk, was ahead. Unfortunately for him, the flop came 4♠7♠A♥ to give Seymour top pair and leave Qi on the brink. Nothing changed on either the 10♦ turn or 6♥ river to send Qi to the rail while keeping the three time super bowl champion chipping up.

Connor Richards

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

One of the most heartwarming storylines of the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) emerged yesterday as the father-daughter duo of Amanda Botfeld and David Botfeld made the money of the $10,000 WSOP Main Event World Championship.

Amanda Botfeld, a poker writer and author of 2020's A Girl's Guide to Poker, announced on Twitter that she and her dad had made it to the money in poker's most prestigious event. The tweet included a photo of the two locked in a loving embrace, no doubt happy to have secured a payday of at least $15,000.
