2024 World Series of Poker
Junpei Shimada opened to 1,400 from middle position and was three-bet to 3,300 by the player in the cutoff. Michael Mizrachi made it 7,300 to go on the button, which got a fold from Shimada, but a call from the cutoff.
It was checked to Mizrachi on the 2♥4♦5♠ flop and Mizrachi bet 5,000. His opponent check-raised enough to put Mizrachi all in for 15,700 total and Mizrachi quickly called.
Michael Mizrachi: A♣A♦
Cutoff: Q♥Q♣
Mizrachi held a commanding lead with his aces and the J♥A♥ runout needlessly improved him to a set for the double up.
With two players seeing a board of K♣7♣4♠2♠ and about 12,500 in the middle, Jolene Le checked from the small blind and Emile Schiff bet 9,500 from early position. Le put in a check-raise to 26,000 and Schiff moved all in, covering Le who had a bit under 50,000 behind. Le thought for about a minute before folding and Schiff took the pot without showdown.
A player in early position limped in before Lander Lijo raised to 2,600 in the hijack. Jim Bechtel called in the cutoff, while the early-position player folded.
Lijo bet 3,200 on the 6♥3♥10♣ flop and Bechtel called. Both players then checked the 9♠ turn.
Lijo bet another 4,000 on the 8♣ river and Bechtel this time came back with a raise to 15,000. Lijo tanked for several minutes before calling.
Bechtel showed K♥K♠, but Lijo had A♦A♥ as he won the pot off the 1993 Main Event champion.
Roei Siman Tov moved all in for his last 9,400 from middle position and was looked up by Jonathan Wong, in the small blind.
Roei Siman Tov: 7♦7♥
Jonathan Wong: A♠Q♣
The board ran out K♠2♥6♦4♣4♦; Siman Tov's sevens held, ensuring him the full double up.
Action was on the turn with the board showing 2♦5♦6♥2♣ with a pot of about 13,000. From the small blind, Timothy Geary pushed forward a stack of chips that were enough to force Evgenii Fidchuk all in.
Fidchuk who was in the big blind, considered it for a while before he called.
Evgenii Fidchuk: Q♣5♠
Timothy Geary: K♠4♠
Fidchuk had the lead and needed to fade a king but sure enough the K♣ came off on the river to send Fidchuk away to the rail.
Bin Weng opened to 1,400 from early position and was three-bet to 4,200 by Fernando Gonzalez in the cutoff. Action folded back to Weng, who called.
Weng checked-called Gonzalez's 4,800 bet on the 2♥Q♥5♠ flop and then led out for 8,500 on the 4♥ turn. Gonzalez called.
The 5♥ brought a four-liner to a flush on board, and both players checked.
Weng showed 10♥7♥ for a turned flush, but it was no good against Gonzalez's K♥K♠ for a rivered king-high flush to take down the pot.
Action picked up on the river in a hand between Rui Milhomens in the hijack and the player in early position.
With over 40,000 in the pot and the board reading J♦5♦7♣6♠J♣, early position checked and Milhomens moved all in for close to 24,000.
Early position took some time to think through his decision, ultimately arriving at a fold.
