Deeb Visibly Frustrated as he Busts to Joy

Tyler Foran

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Michael Acevedo opened 2,100 and Dennis Joy flatted the button before Shaun Deeb three-bet to 10,600 from the small blind. Acevedo called and Joy moved all-in, covering both opponents. Deeb went into the tank, and eventually called off his stack of around 40,000 before Acevedo mucked his hand.

Shaun Deeb: A♥J♠ All in
Dennis Joy: Q♥Q♠

Joy was able to avoid the ace as the dealer ran out the 10♥6♠5♦7♠J♣ board. Deeb gave a slight shake of his head and splashed his remaining chips toward Joy before turning and walking away from the table.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

David Kaufmann jammed his last 6,100 under the gun and Gergo Nagy called next to act. Werner Lootsma was on the button and moved all-in for roughly 32,000. The blinds quickly folded and Nagy called off his stack of about 27,000.

David Kaufmann: A♥10♣ All in
Gergo Nagy: 10♥10♠ All in
Werner Lootsma: 9♥9♠

Lootsma was way behind but he smashed the 9♦9♣6♠ flop, making four of a kind. The 5♥ turn meant both players were drawing dead as they stood up from their seats and the 2♥ river was just a formality.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Arunas Sapitavicius opened for 2,200 and Koray Korkmaz moved all in for 8,000 from the cutoff. Andre Marques flatted out of the big blind and Sapitavicius got out of the way before the hands were turned up.

Koray Korkmaz: J♦Q♦ All in
Andre Marques: A♦J♣

The 9♣6♠J♠ paired both players but Korkmaz had a kicker problem. The 7♦ turn didn't resolve it, and despite the J♥ river improving Korkmaz to trips, Marques also improved and his kicker made the difference.

Oleg Cazac raised to 2,100 from early position and Itsach Barak called from the small blind. The player in the big blind then moved all in for 20,800, Cazac rejammed, and Barak got out of the way.

Big Blind: 5♥5♦ All in
Oleg Cazac: J♣J♠

Cazac had the bigger pocket pair and it held strong as the board ran out a clean 4♥A♥8♣10♣8♥.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise, which is taking place on Paradise Island in The Bahamas, got off to a big start with the $500,000 buy-in Triton Million, which marked the WSOP's first partnership with Triton Poker.

It was a unique tournament that paired an invitee with a poker pro – each putting up a $500,000 buy-in – and then competing in respective fields on Day 1 before combining on Day 2. The tournament, which was being live reported by PokerNews, featured 74 players (37 pairs) and much to our surprise saw two players get their chips all in on the very first hand of the tournament.

It was a big hand, but just one captured by the PokerNews Live Reporting Team. Here is a look at five other either big or game-changing hands from the Triton Million.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Marcos Alves was seen all-in for his last 13,400 from the cutoff and Marc Foggin was looking for the knockout from the small blind.

Marcos Alves: A♥7♣ All in
Marc Foggin: A♦Q♥

Alves ran into a bigger ace and the Q♣J♠10♦ flop had him trailing further behind. The 2♦ turn and 3♠ river were no help either as he walked away from the table.

Schemion Says "Gamble" Before Putting Two Players At Risk

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Ole Schemion in earlier WSOP Paradise action.

Ole Schemion opened for 1,600 under the gun and Keani Fairbanks three-bet jammed for 9,500 from the cutoff.

Jorge Artiga Pacheco then moved all in over the top for 18,400 from the button, both blinds folded, and Schemion asked for a count.

"Gamble," he said before putting in the chips to call.

Keani Fairbanks: 6♦6♣ All in
Jorge Artiga Pacheco: A♣Q♣ All in
Ole Schemion: K♥Q♥

Fairbanks got it in good but fell behind on the 4♦J♥Q♠ flop. Neither the 8♦ turn nor J♠ river changed a thing and Pacheco's kicker played to win him the pot while Fairbanks exited the tournament.

Player	Chips	Progress
Jorge Artiga Pacheco	48,000 24,000	24,000
Ole Schemion	29,000 29,000	29,000

Keani Fairbanks	Busted
