David Dowdy
David Dowdy

David Dowdy raised to 7,500 and a player in the button called before the small blind shoved. When the dust settled, both the button and small blind were all in and Dowdy had them both covered. The cards were turned up and the dealer was ready for a runout.

Button: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Small Blind: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
David Dowdy: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

The board ran out {5-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{q-Spades}{10-Clubs} and Dowdy's queens held up to knock both players out of the tournament.

Meanwhile, Yuval Bronshtein currently sits with around 460,000 at the same table.

John Cernuto
John Cernuto

On March 1, the 2023 Wynn Millions hosted its $1,100 Limit Omaha 8/B $50K GTD, which nearly doubled the guarantee as 98 runners generated a $95,060 prize pool. The top 11 players made the money, and the two to fall short of the final table were Duke Viveros and Clyde Gaskins, who each received $2,567 for finishing in 10th and 11th place respectively.

At the final table, two poker legends worked a deal in Ari Engel and “Miami” John Cernuto. The former wound up taking second place for $23,903, while the latter won the trophy and took $25,851 in prize money. It was just the latest victory on Cernuto’s impressive poker résumé, which dates back to 1987 according to the Hendon Mob.
