Rheem Pays Off Li

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 5

2-7 Triple Draw

Yingui Li opened from the cutoff, then called a three-bet from Chino Rheem out of the small blind.

Both players took two cards on the first draw before checking through to the second draw where they each again drew two. Rheem led out and Li called.

Rheem stood pat on the final draw while Li opted to take one after which Rheem bet. Li responded with a raise which Rheem, with a slight sigh as if he knew what was coming, called. Li announced eighty-six as he turned over 8x6x4x3x2x to win a healthy pot off of Rheem.

Three ways to the K♠10♦6♥ flop, John Monnette checked from under the gun and Albert Daher bet 6,000 on the button. Dan Smith let go in the big blind and Monnette called. Following the K♣ turn, Monnette check-called for 10,500 and then did so again for 25,000 on the 9♥ river.

Daher tabled the K♦7♥6♠5♦ for kings full of sixes and won the pot.

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Roman Yitzhaki raised to 6,500 first-to-act and was three-bet to 17,000 by Ali Eslami in the big blind. Yitzhaki called.

Eslami stood pat and Yitzhaki drew one. Eslami then checked and Yitzhaki fired 42,000 into the middle.

Eslami laid his hand down after a bit of thought and Yitzhaki collected the pot.

Pot-Limit Omaha

Josh Arieh opened to 6,000 and got calls from Erick Lindgren and Maxx Coleman.

The flop was 9♥9♦6♥ and Coleman checked. Arieh continued for 10,000 and Lindgren was the only caller.

Arieh check-called 18,000 on the 5♠ turn and the river was the Q♠. Both players checked.

"Is that any good?" Arieh said, exposing 8♥7♥ for a straight.

"It's a good start," replied Lindgren who mucked, allowing Arieh to show the rest of his hand: Q♣Q♥ for a full house.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Talal Shakerchi opened from middle position and Brian Rast moved his last few chips into the middle from the cutoff. Erick Lindgren called in the big blind to put Rast officially at risk while Shakerchi also called.

Lindgren led out on the A♠9♥K♣ flop. Shakerchi flatted.

The same betting pattern was repeated following the 6♦ turn with Shakerchi and Lindgren checking to showdown on the 8♠ river.

Rast tabled A♦8♦6♣3♣ but could not win the high half of the pot as Shakerchi held K♥J♠4♥3♠ while Lindgren had A♣J♥9♠2♠ to send him to the rail on Day 1, ensuring there will be no back to back champion this year.

Level 5

Felipe Ramos has been eliminated while three new players entered the fray in Albert Daher, Dzmitry Urbanovich and Jason Mercier. The field has reached 74 entries and that number will certainly increase until the end of the late registration period three levels into Day 2.

Katz into the Chip Lead

No-Limit Hold'em

"Are you going to be dressing up this year Jungle?" Benny Glaser asked Dan Cates. "Some sort of costume?"

"I'm wearing one," replied Jungle, although he was clearly wearing ordinary clothes. "Aren't we all wearing a costume of sorts?"

"Jungle has a long history in this tournament," added Aaron Katz. "Won it twice and also bust to [Mark] Gregorich with ace-king."

Katz was referring to a hand from the 2017 PPC where Cates was the first player to bust after five-bet shoving over 200 big blinds with ace-king into the pocket aces of Mark Gregorich.

Meanwhile, Katz had check-called bets of 20,000 and 45,000 on a board of 10♥9♦3♦10♦ from Seth Gottlieb, and the river was the 10♠. Katz checked and Gottlieb bet 90,000.

Katz tanked well into the break before calling. Gottlieb flung 5♥4♥ face up and Katz took down the pot with A♥9♥ for a full house.
