Jeffrey Bloom raised to 300 in the hijack and Michael Meza three-bet to 1,400 on the button. Bloom made the call.
The flop came K♠10♣Q♠ and action checked through to the 10♥ turn. Bloom bet 3,600 and Meza called, bringing the 9♠ river.
Bloom moved all in for about 11,000 and Meza quickly called, tabling KxKxQx8x for a full house, kings full of tens to send Bloom packing.
In a raising war, Clayton Shumate raised from early position to 600 only for John Konemany to three-bet from the big blind to 1,200. Shumate then four-bet, and before the size was announced, Konemany had five-bet all in. Shumate snapped off the call.
John Konemany: A♣A♥
Clayton Shumate: K♣K♦
No king on the 4♣5♠9♦4♥5♣ run out, and Konemany was shipped the pot for a much needed double up.
No-Limit Hold'em
Action picked up on the turn in a hand between Jiancheng Han on the button and Holly Meliet in the big blind.
With about 6,000 in the middle and the board reading 9♣8♥Q♦6♠, Meliet bet 6,000 and Han called.
On the 8♦ river, Meliet bet again, this time for 6,000. Han folded and Meliet tabled Q♥Q♣ for a full house, queens full of eights.
No-Limit Hold'em
On the A♥3♥2♥ flop, Jairo Nunez bet out for 3,000 and was called by Debora Reeder. The turn saw the 4♦ fall, and now Nunez bet out for 4,000 and was called again by Reeder.
The river paired the board with the 2♠ and this time Nunez bet out for 10,000, which put Reeder all in. She snap called and showed A♦A♣ for a rivered full house but was never behind as Nunez tabled A♠3♠ for a flopped two pair.
Alex Manzano is no stranger to deepstack tournaments, especially the Pot-Limit Omaha variant. He took down Event #33: $600 Pot-Limit Omaha DeepStack at last year's WSOP.
The prize for first place of $161,846 was the second-highest score of Manzano’s career, but it was his first WSOP gold bracelet, and it held special significance for him.
“This was my first tournament when I started playing twenty years ago. Since I started playing professionally, I’ve won [several different series], but this was the special one that I always wanted, and I couldn’t play it professionally many years ago, so winning it now is something beautiful.”
Level: 3
Blinds: 200/300
Ante: 300
From a starting field of approximately 380 players, this has now swelled to over 600 and is expected to keep growing with late registration open until the end of level 12.
