Level 2

Seven Card Stud

Christopher Claassen: XxXx / A3J8 - folded on sixth street

Breck checked seventh to Ruben who bet and Breck instantly called. He got the bad news, however, as Ruben tabled Q62 in the hole for the queen-high flush as he collected the pot.

Find Out Why Shaun Deeb Gives Away All of His WSOP Gold Bracelets

Level 2
Shaun Deeb
Shaun Deeb

There’s no denying that Shaun Deeb is a future Poker Hall of Famer. Whether you know him from his online poker days, where he won more than a dozen COOP titles on PokerStars, or as the 2018 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Player of the Year, Deeb has amassed nearly $13 million in live tournament earnings dating back to 2006 according to The Hendon Mob.

Deeb, who in February 2024 accepted a buyout in his $1 million body fat loss prop bet against Bill Perkins, is also a six-time WSOP gold bracelet winner, but did you know that just like Phil Hellmuth, he’s made a habit of gifting them to those close to him?

PokerNews recently chatted with Deeb about why he gives away his bracelets, which ones he’d keep if he were to win them, and why giving away No. 6 to honor his good friend, the late Thayer Rasmussen, meant so much to him.

Two Small Pairs Enough for Breck

Level 3

Seven Card Stud

Brian Breck: XxXx / 26A3 / Xx
Jeff Madsen: XxXx / A9Q - folded on fifth street
Philip Sternheimer: XxXx / 5JAK / Xx

Madsen completed, Sternheimer called, and Breck called from the bring-in.

Madsen checked to Sternheimer on fourth who bet and both opponents called. Sternheimer bet again on fifth and only Breck called this time.

Sternheimer would lead again on sixth and seventh, with Breck calling down quickly. Sternheimer tabled QJ9 in the hole for a lone pair of jacks, as Breck revealed 642 for two pair, sixes and twos, which were enough for the win.

Zhu Calls Alioto's Bluff

Level 3
Yueqi Zhu
Yueqi Zhu

Razz

Yueqi Zhu: Jx5xAx/6x8x6xJx
Dario Alioto: 7x5x5x/8xKx2x7x
Andres Korn: XxXx/3xQx10x - folded on fifth street

Yueqi Zhu completed and was called by Dario Alioto and Andres Korn.

Alioto and Korn called a bet from Zhu on fourth street and Zhu bet again on fifth. Alioto called, but Korn folded.

On sixth street and seventh street, Alioto led out for bets and Zhu called him down.

Alioto could only turn over 7x5x5x for a king, which was no good against Zhu's Jx5xAx for a pair of jacks to send the pot Zhu's way.

At another table, Robert Mizrachi became the first elimination of the day.

Liberto Picks Off Tate

Level 3

Razz

Brian Tate: XxXx / 3xQx7x5x / Xx
Justin Liberto: XxXx / 2xAxKx2x / Xx

Action picked up on fourth as Liberto led and Tate called. Fifth street checked through.

Tate then led sixth after Liberto paired and he called after a small tank.

Tate led for a final time on seventh and Liberto quickly called. Tate announced a no-good queen as Liberto tabled 9x5x4x in the hole for a nine-five low to win.
