Yaroshevskyy Wins a Multi-Way Pot

Level 6 : 300/600, 0 ante

James St Hilaire raised to 1,500 from the lojack and three players accepted his price: Rob Mizrachi flatted from the hijack, Mike Matusow from the cutoff, and Igor Yaroshevskyy joined from the small blind.

The flop {6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{9-Spades} was checked to Mizrachi who announced, "Four."

Matusow looked to be interested, but he eventually folded while Yaroshevskyy and St Hialire paid the 4,000. "They all are gonna call, Jesus," sighed Matusow.

Without him, the remaining players looked at the {Q-Spades} but neither of the three contenders bet.

The river was the {8-Diamonds} and action checked to Mizrachi who pulled out 7,500. Yaroshevskyy called and St Hilaire gave up.

Yaroshevskyy showed {10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} for a rivered straight, scooping another pot to boost his stack to roughly 120,000.

Vivian Saliba Has It All

The flop was {7-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and Vivian Saliba in the big blind checked it to Scott Bohlman who bet 1,500.

Saliba check-raised to 4,000 and Bohlman studied his hole cards to see if there was much there for him. There wasn’t, so he folded.

“You gave me another one,” Saliba said to the dealer, twirling the {a-Diamonds}.

Saliba then laid out her complete hand of {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}.

“I’m sorry you didn’t have anything,” she said of Bohlman’s fold.

“You had it all. What could I have?” Bohlman replied.

With the {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}{10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} on the board, Yevgeniy Timoshenko faced a 5,500 bet from a player in the big blind. Timoshenko was in the hijack and he pulled out a raise, bumping it to 20,000.

While the big blind didn't muck instantly, he eventually laid down, leaving the pot going Timoshenko's way.

Mike Matusow Leaves Early

The cards were being swept up by the dealer and yet another pot was being pushed to Randal Brown. Mike Matusow was gathering up his belongings and looking a bit down in the mouth having just been felted by Brown.

Matusow has been projecting a lot of positivity this year at the WSOP, predicting great results for himself, particularly in the Main Event that starts Saturday, July 8.

This wasn’t his day, though, as a late registration led to an early exit.
