Hatmaker Gets Value

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

In a pot with three players involved, the flop showed {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and Casey Hatmaker bet 3,500 after it was checked to him. Only the player in the big blind called.

A {7-Hearts} appeared on the turn and after another check from his opponent, Hatmaker tanked and sent 12,000, which was called once again.

The {a-Spades} hit the river and the big blind took some time before check-calling Hatmaker for a bet worth 26,500, but instantly mucked his cards when Hatmaker showed {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for the full house.

Many projected a record-breaking year for the 2022 World Series of Poker Main Event, some even anticipating 10,000 or more players. But when registration officially closed around 4 p.m. on Friday, the 2006 record of 8,773 entries still stood.

With 8,663 entrants, this year's world championship event is officially the second largest in the tournament's 53-year history, slightly higher than the 8,569 of 2019. The winner on July 17 will take home $10 million, with second place receiving $6 million.

Auer Coolers Lyons

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

The action was relayed by the table after the fact. Pat Lyons moved all in for 10,500 preflop and was called by Matthias Auer who had him well covered.

Pat Lyons: {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Matthias Auer: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}

The flop came {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}{4-Hearts} and Lyons was well in front with trip jacks, but when the turn fell the {10-Clubs} the tables turned on the hand and Lyons was in rough shape. The {2-Spades} completed the board and it was the end of the road for Lyons as he exited the tournament.

Kassouf Scores Huge Double

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Will Kassouf
Will Kassouf

An early position player limped before Will Kassouf raised to 6,000 from the hijack. Action folded to the player in the big blind who shipped his 83,000 in the middle. The limper folded, with 59,000 in his stack, Kassouf had a decision for his tournament life.

"It looks like ace-king. It could be tens. I've got tens beat," Kassouf thought out loud. "If you've got aces or kings, you played it well. You're supposed to four-bet to 15,000 and I'm supposed to ship it. I'd rather ship it than call with this hand. How many players get paid?"

Finally, he made his decision. "In the words of Will Kassouf, if you got it, you got it."

Will Kassouf: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

The board ran out {j-Spades}{k-Clubs}{q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, Kassouf's set locked up the full double.

Saved by the River

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

With 20,000 sitting in the middle Robert Trobridge bet 30,000 with a board of {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} showing. His only opponent, Ryutaro Kawase in the hijack, re-raised to 130,000 which more than covered Trobridge's stack. Trobridge went deep into the tank before he finally called and cards were up.

Robert Trowbridge: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Ryutaro Kawase: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}

Kawase had flopped nines full of queens and Trowbridge thought he was done for until the {k-Clubs} hit on the river. Both stared at the board in disbelief that Trowbridge hit queens full of kings to get the double up.

Another player told Trowbridge, "You've been so patient all day, you were bound to get one!"
