2024 World Series of Poker
Action was joined on the river with a completed board showing 3♠Q♦2♥7♠10♣. From the big blind, Florian Pesce bet 36,000 into a pot of 44,000.
Steven McKuin was in early position and thought it out for several moments before he called.
Pesce tabled the Q♥7♣ for two pair and McKuin mucked.
David "Bakes" Baker was heads-up from middle position against the player in the big blind. Baker had a bet in front of him and his opponent check-raised to 7,500. Baker called.
Baker called a 10,000 barrel from his opponent on the K♠ turn and then the big blind checked after the 2♣ completed the board.
Baker fired 28,000 into the middle, which put his opponent deep into the tank. He eventually put in a call and Baker showed A♠2♠ for deuces-full of aces. His opponent mucked after saying, "That's what I was afraid of," and Baker collected the nice pot.
Christian Roberts raised to 2,500 in middle position and Artur Martirosian called in the hijack. Peter Nigh then three-bet to 12,000 on the button and only Roberts called.
Both players checked the J♠Q♦8♥ flop and Roberts led out for 9,000 on the 4♠ turn. Nigh called.
The K♦ river was again checked through and Nigh turned over A♦K♥ for a rivered pair. Roberts mucked two tens as Nigh took down the pot.
Three-ways to a flop of 6♦J♥4♠, the action checked to Ben Miller in middle position, who made a bet of 3,000. John Canavan folded from the big blind before David Miscikowski called in early position.
Miscikowski then check-called Miller's bet of 8,500 on the 8♥ turn before both checked the 2♠ river.
Miscikowski showed J♣10♣ for top pair and took down the pot as Miller's cards hit the muck.
"I know I am behind but ..." Robert Bickley said on the Q♣10♥5♥A♥6♠ river when he had checked and then paid off a bet worth 26,500 by Andrew Kelsall. The latter tabled the A♦Q♠ for top two pair and it won the pot.
Diogo Veiga has been steadily building a large stack and just knocked out Senad Cecunjanin to climb above half a million in chips. The latest boost was only for around 20,000 when Cecunjanin got it in with the K♥Q♠ and Veiga had that dominated with the A♥K♣.
Both players hit top pair on the K♦J♦8♣7♥10♥ board and that spelled the end for Cecunjanin.
Turned top set of queens with oesd getting there (j82q) Bet small and got a "guess I'm all in" shoved in my face. Didn't snap call but still not good nuff to fold. Str8 held. Sigh.
