Barbero Fires the River

Josh Noy

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Action was four-way to the 4♣2♠5♠3♣ turn, where Tony Sinishtaj led out for 75,000 from the small blind. Jonathan Bomba folded in the big blind, and Anik Ajmera called from the cutoff.

Nacho Barbero also came along on the button, and Sinishtaj checked the 8♠ turn. Ajmera also checked to Barbero, who took some time before sliding out 185,000.

Sinishtaj quickly folded, while Ajmera made the call.

"Second nuts," said Barbero as he turned over K♠Q♥7♠5♣ for a flush to claim the pot.

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Kurtis Ruhl potted it to 105,000 from the cutoff, and his only customer was button player Andrew Ostapchenko, who holds the record for most consecutive WSOP Main Event cashes. The two went off to a flop of K♠4♥6♣ and Ruhl checked his option. Ostapchenko bet out for just 50,000, and Ruhl called.

Ruhl then checked again on the J♦ turn, and this time Ostapchenko sized up, to 335,000. Ruhl check-shoved, and Ostapchenko quickly called to put himself at risk.

Andrew Ostapchenko: K♣K♥J♠7♠ All in
Kurtis Ruhl: 10♠6♠6♦3♦

It was set over set, and there was no case six coming for Ruhl as the 8♠ river gave his opponent the double.

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Rajendara Dhar got it all-in preflop against the covering stack of Jonathan Bomba, and the two went off to a runout.

Rajendara Dhar: K♠K♦9♦2♣ All in
Jonathan Bomba: A♣A♥K♥4♣

Bomba's suited aces seemed impossible to beat, and that was certainly the case following the runout, as the J♣4♥7♠10♣J♠ board sent Dhar packing.

Eliot Thomas

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Chih Fan has denied violating WSOP Rule 64 regarding approved electronic devices after receiving a one-round penalty for allegedly viewing a GTO chart at the table during Day 6 of the Main Event.

The Taiwanese player strongly denied the accusation at the time and has since released a statement saying he was watching “Doug Polk’s YouTube” during the hand in question. Despite the explanation, the ruling was upheld and the penalty enforced.

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

With 200,000 in the middle, Adam Johnson found himself all-in and at risk on a flop of K♥3♣9♣ after his shove was called by Anik Ajmera.

Adam Johnson: Q♠Q♣J♣8♦ All in
Anik Ajmera: 10♣10♥9♥9♠

Johnson had clubs and a gutshot, but was up against the set of Ajmera. The 7♥A♥ runout then improved him to a flush, meaning Johnson would just miss out on the three table redraw.
