Wilson Scoops a Three-Way All In; Theuma Shows the Benefits of the New WSOP App

David Salituro

Level 7 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,800 ante

Andrew Sellergren was all in for 20,000 from under the gun, Taylor Wilson reshoved for 33,200 in the hijack, and Christopher Vitch in the big blind put both players at risk.

Vitch stood pat while Sellergren and Wilson both took one. Vitch had 9x8x7x4x2x. Sellergren showed 6x5x3x2x but drew another 5x, while Wilson had 6x4x3x2x and caught a 9x on his last card to make a 9-6-4 and scoop the pot, earning a double up off Vitch while sending Sellergren to the rail.

Sellergren had just left his seat and Wilson was still raking in the pot when Corel Theuma showed up to take the vacated seat. "That has to be a world record. That's the pot," a flabbergasted Dan Zack said.

The next hand at this table, Darren Elias raised to 3,500 under the gun and Wilson called in middle position. Vitch then put in his last 30,000 in the small blind, Elias reraised to 75,000 and Wilson folded.

Both players stood pat and Elias showed 9x8x7x6x3x to best Vitch's 10x9x7x5x4x and score the knockout.

Level 7 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,800 ante

Dario Sammartino raised to 3,500 under the gun and Matthew Schreiber called on the button. Danny Tang then shoved for 32,000 in the big blind, Sammartion put in his last 30,000, and Schreiber folded.

Tang stood pat while Sammartino took one. Tang showed 10x5x4x3x2x and Sammartino had 9x7x5x3x as he prepared to turn over his last card.

"Paint! Queen!" Tang shouted out, sweating the card with Sammartino. It wasn't a paint card but rather a three-sider.

"66 percent," Sammartino said.

"Seven of clubs!" Tang shouted, but Sammartino slammed down a 8x to make a 9-8-7 and earn the double up.

"Make sure you write that he's a luckbox," Tang said after the hand.

Daniel Negreanu had fired his third bullet and was waiting to take his seat, but first he went to open a bottle of wine. "Does anybody have a wine key?" Negreanu yelled out to the rest of the field.

Brian Breck just happened to be carrying one with him, and Negreanu successfully opened the bottle before taking his seat.

"You," Kupin replied.
