Klocker Leaves Moron on Fumes

David Salituro

Level 19 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Samuel Klocker moved all in for 605,000 from early position, Ignacio Moron reshoved in middle positon, and the rest of the table got out of the way.

Samuel Klocker: A♦9♦ All in
Ignacio Moron: K♥J♣

Moron took the lead on the Q♥10♠J♠ flop with a pair of jacks, but Klocker spiked a straight on the 8♦ turn. The river was the 4♥ and Klocker doubled up, leaving Moron with less than a big blind.

Level 19 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

What is a player to do when they love tournament poker, their mind allows them to compete against the best of the best, but their body doesn’t want to cooperate? That’s a question “Texas” Mike Moncek, who suffers from a heart condition, asked himself Wednesday night after playing in the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise Event #7: $100,000 Triton Main Event.

The tournament, which is being live reported by PokerNews, attracted 182 entrants and offered up an $18,200,000 prize pool. On Day 2, a little over 40 players remained when Texas Mike, in his own words, “punted.”

Chad Holloway

Level 19 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Erik Seidel moved all in for 1.96 million from the button and Marcelo Aziz called from the big blind.

Erik Seidel: 5♥5♣ All in
Marcelo Aziz: A♣K♠

It was a flip and Seidel was looking to hold to stay alive. The Poker Hall of Famer, who won a bracelet at last year’s WSOP Paradise, made it through the 6♠10♠Q♦ flop as well as the 2♥ turn, but the A♦ on the river was a dagger through his heart.

Seidel was eliminated in 161st place for $67,300 while Aziz chipped up to 10.7 million.

Level 19 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Rodrigo Sirichuk shipped all in for his last 1,600,000 in the hijack and Pascal Lefrancois reshoved all in on the button, forcing both of the blinds out.

Rodrigo Sirichuk: Q♠Q♣ All in
Pascal Lefrancois: A♠K♦

It was a classic coin flip and the flop of K♥9♣9♦ put Lefrancois in the lead with a pair of kings. There was no help for Sirichuk on the 8♣, 5♠ runout as he headed to the payout desk.

Level 19 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Zhewen Hu opened 240,000 and Bruno Volkmann defended the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 9♦9♥6♦, and Volkmann check-raised a bet of 200,000 to 500,000. Hu used a time bank before announcing all-in, getting an immediate request for a chip count from Volkmann.

After the dealer let him know it was 2,045,000, Volkmann made the fold.

Level 20 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Ognyan Dimov raised to 325,000 in middle position and Alisson Piekazewicz three-bet to 800,000 on the button. Dimov then moved all in for 2,500,000 and Piekazewicz snap-called.

Ognyan Dimov: 10♥10♦ All in
Alisson Piekazewicz: 8♥8♠

Dimog had Piekazewicz dominated until the flop brought J♣8♣2♥ to give Piekazewicz a set. The 8♦ turn gave Piekazewicz quads for the second time today and Dimov was drawing dead by the 3♣ river and heading for the exit.

Ignacio Moron put his last 95,000 across the line under the gun and Matt Glantz raised to 325,000 on the button, forcing both of the blinds out of the pot.

Ignacio Moron: 7♠5♦ All in
Matt Glantz: A♣5♥

The K♦Q♣10♣2♦9♥ runout missed both players but Glantz' was good with ace-high as Moron left the table.

Level 20 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Ermo Kosk raised it up from the cutoff and Darren Elias called from the big blind. The flop came K♣6♥5♥ and Elias check-called a bet of 210,000 from Kosk.

The K♦ paired the board on the turn and Elias checked again. Kosk sized up a bet of 540,000 and Elias stuck around for the 2♦ on the river. Both players tapped the table and Elias tabled 10♠5♠ which was good enough to win the pot.

Lim's Broadway Sends Out Pruneau

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Tyler Foran

Level 20 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Alexandre Pruneau was seen all-in from under the gun for about 3,500,000, and Chinwei Lim had his entire 4,490,000 across the line as well on the button while Roman Hrabec was in the tank with 1,250,000 already committed from the small blind. After some time, Hrabec mucked his hand and both hands were tabled.

Alexandre Pruneau: A♣J♥ All in
Chinwei Lim: A♦K♥

Pruneau was dominated as he looked for a jack to stay alive. He did indeed hit the jack on the Q♣10♠6♣J♠ turn, but it was poor timing as it improved Lim to Broadway. Pruneau was unable to find a king for the chop as the 3♣ rolled off on the river, sending him out the door.

Roman Hrabec	4,750,000 -4,810,000	-4,810,000
