Reigning Champ Arrives

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante
Dylan Weisman
Dylan Weisman

Last year's winner of this event, Dylan Weisman, has taken his seat at the table as he looks to be the first player ever to go back-to-back in the $1,500 8-max. For the second year running, he'll have to overcome over 1,000 other entrants to lock up the top prize.

Weisman is something of a PLO specialist: His first of two bracelets came in the $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha event back in 2021, where he took down $166,461. The same year, he almost doubled his tally, but came up just short, finishing fourth in the $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha 6-Handed event.

Last year, his second victory truly cemented him as a big name in PLO, as he locked up the third-best score of his career, $294,311, as well as his second bracelet. He is certainly in the hunt for his third this year, already having placed fourth in the same event he won in 2021, as well as placing 14th in Event #44: $10,000 Big O Championship.

He couldn't make it two-in-a-row, could he?

Stockfish Looking for His First Bracelet

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

After the second break, Jason Stockfish sits at the top of the chip counts with 185,000.

With four runner-up finishes at the World Series of Poker, Stockfish has a reputation as one of the most consistent mixed game specialists still chasing their first bracelet. From Eight Game to H.O.R.S.E. and Big Bet formats, he’s repeatedly navigated through tough fields to reach the final table, only to fall just short of WSOP gold. He has made six WSOP final tables, four of which resulted in runner-up finishes.

  • Event #15: $1,500 Eight Game Mix (2016) – 2nd for $92,638
  • Event #18: $565 Pot-Limit Omaha (2017) – 2nd for $138,655
  • Event #59: $2,500 Mixed Big Bet (2017) – 2nd for $69,359
  • Event #14: $1,500 H.O.R.S.E. (2019) – 2nd for $127,932

Still, Stockfish seems not to be deterred as he is back in the mix for this event, and has built up a healthy stack to potentially bag big ahead of Day 2 tomorrow.

Gossn Rivers it

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

Following some questions preflop about the legality of a back-raise, three players saw a flop, with one (Angel Modica) all in, as it had been deemed that the all-in was an under raise, and action was closed. The flop came down 10♥3♣9♦ and Leonidas Andriopoulos made the shove he had wanted to preflop. Juan Pablo Gossn called.

Angel Modica: A♥A♣K♠2♠ All in
Juan Gossn: K♥9♠6♥3♠ All in
Leonidas Andriopoulos: A♠A♦Q♣J♠

Andriopoulos was well in the lead equity-wise, with an overpair alongside his open-ender, however the J♥6♣runout would give Gossn the win in the most unlikely manner, as he rivered two pair to scoop.

Luu Rivers a One-Outer to Survive

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

Lou Garza raised to 1,800 under the gun with Jarryd Godena calling from the next seat, Hieu Luu calling from the hijack, and Sandeep Pulusani defending his big blind.

The dealer spread out a flop of 6♣6♦2♦, and Pulusani checked. Garza continued for 9,900, Godena called, and Luu moved all in for 10,400. Both Garza and Godena called to create a side pot.

With Luu all-in, the 6♠ fell on the turn. Garza checked, and Godena shoved to put Garza all in. After a brief pause, Garza folded, and the cards were tabled.

Hieu Luu: A♥5♥4♦3♦ All in
Jarryd Godena: K♥K♦9♦9♠

Godena had a full house, sixes full of kings, and was in great shape. Only a one-outer could save Luu with a straight flush.

Luu was already out of his chair when the dealer delivered the 5♦ on the river, completing a miraculous straight flush. The table erupted in disbelief, while Godena sat stunned after suffering a brutal beat.

Mehamed Fills Up

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

Action was picked up on a flop of 4♥4♣7♣. Andrew Kappes shoved, and Alan Mehamed called.

Andrew Kappes: Q♣10♣10♦9♦ All in
Alan Mehamed: A♥A♠4♠3♠

The 3♣ turn seemed to be a good one for Kappes, as he hit his flush, however he soon realized he was drawing dead as Mehamed had boated up, making the J♦ river inconsequential.
