2024 World Series of Poker
Julien Sitbon raised preflop from the button and got a call out of Justin Zaki in the big blind.
On the 3♠4♦5♠ flop, the rest of the two player's stacks were piled into the middle which left Zaki at risk.
Justin Zaki: 10♠6♠
Julien Sitbon: 10♥10♣
Zaki had a combo draw and needed two shots at hitting it as the 9♥ turn was a brick but the 2♠ river completed both his flush and straight draws and earned him a double-up.
On a bord of 4♥9♠8♦A♣, Aaron Thomas had shoved for a pot sized bet of around 86,000 into Aliaksandr Shylko. The player from Czech Republic was thinking for quite some time before he elected to fold, and the pot was pushed Thomas' way.
Thomas flashed what looked like 7♥5♦ to the table as he raked in the pot.
"I'm taking it to the streets today," said Thomas as he got that bluff through.
Action was picked up with Champie Douglas all-in preflop from the cutoff for 169,000 against James Chen in middle position who called his all-in.
Champie Douglas: A♦Q♠
James Chen: A♥K♦
The board ran out 7♣8♥10♠6♥Q♦ to give Douglas a pair and beat Chen's ace-high.
Level: 14
Blinds: 3,000/5,000
Ante: 5,000
The pot had very close to 100,000 on the river in it when Chander Jain jammed from the button for 64,000.
Chris Hunichen was in the cutoff and studied the 6♦Q♥2♠Q♣3♣ board and tried to get something out of Jain as he shrugged in confusion while he thought.
Eventually, he folded to send the pot over to Jain.
A player under the gun raised to 8,000 and action folded to Daniyal Gheba, who elected to call on the button. The small blind folded, but the big blind decided to also call.
With three to the flop, the dealer fanned 2♦3♦K♦ on the board.
The big blind and original raiser checked, prompting Gheba to bet 7,000. The big blind check-called, while the original raiser folded.
The dealer placed 4♣ on the turn, which drew another check from the player in the big blind.
Gheba sat still for a few moments before reaching into his stack. He pulled out five 5,000 chips before moving them forward for a 25,000 bet, resulting in an immediate fold from Gheba’s opponent.
Thomas Boivin had all of his chips in the middle on a board of 10♣Q♣9♠10♠5♥ with his K♦J♦ having flopped a straight which cracked the A♣A♠ of Michel Molenaar.
