2024 World Series of Poker
Jose Carlos Lopez Fibla opened the action from under the gun with a raise to 8,000. William Figueroa three-bet to 24,000 from the button before Fibla moved all in for 97,000. Figueroa went into a long tank but eventually tossed a chip in for a call.
Jose Carlos Lopez Fibla: A♥A♠
William Figueroa: 9♦9♣
The board ran out 3♦J♠K♣8♣Q♥ and Lopez scooped the pot and a pile of chips to get over the 200,000 mark.
Francisco Perez Moreno has emerged as one of the chipleaders in the room after coming into the day with a less than average stack.
A player opened in the cutoff and Perez called on the button.
Action checked through the 6♥8♥5♥ flop to the J♦ turn at which point the cutoff checked once more. Perez bet 8,000 and that was enough to convince his opponent to lay down their hand as the Spaniard continues to climb.
Aloisio Dourado raised from the cutoff, Shachar Haran three-bet to 28,000 on the button and Daniel Garcia, in the small blind, cold four-bet to 125,000.
Dourado thought for some time before placing a small five-bet to 125,000. Haran went deep into the tank, thinking for some time before laying down his hand. Garcia soon came to the same conclusion as Haran and also mucked his cards. Dourado showed his opponent A♣A♠ as he raked in the pot.
After some table talk, Haran admitted to the table he'd folded ace-king, while Garcoa confessed he laid down ace-queen.
Ronnie Akrawi opened the action with a raise to 8,000 from the cutoff. Mark Klecan moved all in from the big blind for 73,100 and Akrawi made the call.
Mark Klecan: 7♠7♦
Ronnie Akrawi: K♣Q♣
The dealer put out a J♠K♠A♠4♣10♠ board and Klecan got there on the river with a seven-high flush to extend his tournament run.
Bojan Gledovic opened under the gun to 8,500 and was three-bet by Ardit Kurshumi from the next seat to 20,500. When it got back to Gledovic, he made the call.
The flop came Q♥J♣9♦ where Gledovic check-called a bet of 14,000 from Kurshumi.
On the 3♥ turn, Gledovic checked, Kurshumi bet 28,000, and Gledovic called.
A J♠ completed the runout and both players elected to check. Gledovic tabled K♣K♥ for an overpair to the board, and Kurshumi mucked.
Josh Atkinson raised to 9,000 from early position and Anuj Kwatra called next to act. Jesse Capps, who won his way into the 2024 WSOP Main Event by winning a Charity Series of Poker (CSOP) tournament earlier this year, came along from the cutoff and the player on the button called as well.
Both blinds folded and it was four-way action to a flop of 8♠10♠8♦. Atkinson checked, Kwatra bet 15,000, and both Capps and the button folded. Atkinson then grabbed a stack of green T25,000 chips and put them into the middle. Kwatra had 99,000 behind and thought long and hard before calling off.
Anuj Kwatra: Q♥Q♣
Josh Atkinson: A♣A♦
Kwatra was behind with pocket queens and watched helplessly as the 7♦ appeared on the turn followed by the J♣ on the river.
Lost a decent sized pot to bigger pair .
