Sepiol Versus Park Near The Bubble

Level 14 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Sejin Park
Sejin Park

Action was picked up on the river between Dan Sepiol and Sejin Park with roughly 80,000 in the center.

The board read {a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{7-Spades} and Park bet 105,000. Park barely put the chips in the pot before Sepiol had already tossed in the call and Park turned over {j-Spades}{j-Clubs} for a set of jacks. Sepiol mucked his hand and Park's stack neared 600k.

The tournament clock currently reads 606 players remaining.

Vaughan Cracks Aces; Nearing One Million Chips

Level 14 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Matt Vaughan
Matt Vaughan

A player under-the-gun opened to 15,000 and was called by Matthew Vaughan in the lojack and the player in the big blind.

The flop came {8-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{j-Diamonds} and action checked to Vaughan, who bet 15,000. Only the initial raiser called.

It was checked to Vaughan again on the {8-Clubs} turn, and he announced he was all in, which was enough to put his opponent all in for his remaining stack. Vaughan's opponent called.

Matthew Vaughan: {q-Spades}{9-Spades}
Under-the-gun: {a-}{a-}

The {4-Hearts} river kept Vaughan out in front with his straight and he took the rest of his opponent's chips.

Weissman Nearly Doubles

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Joey Weissman
Joey Weissman

Joey Weissman raised from middle position to 8,000 and was re-raised to 22,000 by a player one seat to his left. Weissman called and the flop was dealt.

{8-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{k-Spades} was the flop in question and the action checked through to the {4-Spades} turn. Weissman led for 12,000 and the opponent called.

The river came a {j-Diamonds} and Weissman put in his entire stack except for one 500 chip, which totaled to 48,000. The opponent asked for a count before flicking in a chip for a call. Weissman tabled {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} for a flopped full house and the opponent mucked, nearly giving Weissman a double up.

Barry Greenstein was all-in and at risk for his last 14,500 and Haile Kuo had called him.

Haile Kuo: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

The flop and turn ran out {3-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and Greenstein was down to two outs. The {a-Diamonds} on the river was not one of them and Greenstein left the tournament area as Kuo scooped the pot.

Presley Leads The Way; Naets With Another Deep Run

Sylvain Naets (at the 2019 WSOP)

A total of 3,991 entrants played in Event #43: $1,000 Double Stack No-Limit Hold’em, creating a prize pool of $3,551,990 and a first-place prize of $446,983. With the combined fields of Day 1a and Day 1b, the number of players remaining for Day 2 is 1,064.

Leading the way is Terry Presley who bagged up 828,000 chips on Day 1b, most of them courtesy of a massive pot that happened in the last level of the night, where he called for the majority of his stack with a queen-ten of hearts on an ace-high two heart board, completing his flush on the river to make himself one of the chip leaders. The Arkansas native has over $440,000 in lifetime tournament earnings as well as a Heartland Poker Tour title. He will be looking to add his first bracelet for his resume in this event.

The second biggest stack coming into the day is Day 1a’s chip leader Alexander Farahi (742,500). Farahi collected a third-place finish in the Millionaire Maker back in 2017 and is looking at another shot to take a bracelet. Next in chips is Belgian player Sylvain Naets (710,000) who has already cashed four times this world series and is setting himself for another deep run and chance for his first bracelet.

Plenty of bracelet winners remain looking to add one more piece to their collections including four-time bracelet winner Michael Gathy (80,000) and three-time bracelet winners Ryan Leng (182,500) and Barry Greenstein (58,500). Other notables in the field include Tim Reilly (420,000), Dan Sepiol (389,500), Maria Konnikova (208,500), Antoine Saout (155,000), and former Main Event Champions Martin Jacobson (106,500) and Ryan Riess (83,000).

The action is set to kick off at 10 a.m. at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino. The blinds will return at 1,500/3,000 with play scheduled for 10 one-hour long levels with 15-minute breaks after every two levels. A one-hour dinner break will be after Level 19. After Level 21, the remaining players will bag up and return on Monday, October 24 for Day 3.
