Jonathan Dimmig raised to 600,000 under the gun and the action folded around to Noah Goldman in the big blind. He paused for a moment before sliding his 700,000 across the line, which Dimmig instantly called and both hands were revealed.
Noah Goldman: A♦K♠K♣2♣
Jonathan Dimmig: A♣J♣6♦4♦
"Oh you have a real hand," said the table as Goldman rolled his hand over.
The dealer spread a flop of 7♦5♥3♣, giving Dimmig a flopped straight for the second time in an orbit, leaving Goldman drawing slim. The 9♥ hit the turn, sealing Goldman's fate of 14th place and the 5♣ river was just a formality.

Jonathan Dimmig raised to 900,000 in the small blind and Jorge Ufano three-bet before Dimmig announced all-in for 3,000,000, which Ufano snap-called.
Jonathan Dimmig: K♠Q♥8♠6♠
Jorge Ufano: A♠A♣6♠2♣
Ufano had one of the best possible starting hands with aces double-suited, but Dimmig smashed the 9♣7♠5♥ flop, giving him a straight. The 2♠ turn gave Ufano a flush draw but Dimmig was able to dodge it as the 7♥ landed on the river.

Jerome Hickel opened to 550,000 in early position before Liran Betito moved his short stack all in. Stuart McMahen called in the big blind to see the flop.
The dealer fanned J♠3♣K♦, producing checks from McMahen and Hickel. The K♣ turn saw Hickel bet 400,000, which was called by McMahen to the 3♦ river.
Both players checked again, with Hickel revealing Q♦J♦J♣3♠ for a full house. McMahen mucked, while Betito flashed his losing hand quickly before hitting the rail in 15th place.

Liran Betito raised 550,000 under the gun and Kevin Rand made the call before Michael Holmes shoved his 1,750,000 in the middle. Both Betito and Rand made the call.
Holmes was already standing up and putting his backpack on as the Q♦5♠2♠ flop hit and once Betito checked, Rand announced a pot-sized bet. Betito snap-mucked and both hands were tabled.
Michael Holmes: A♦K♠5♦4♣
Kevin Rand: A♣K♣Q♥7♠
Holmes was in rough shape as Rand had flopped top pair but the 2♣ turn and 5♣ river improved him to trip fives as he sat back down to collect the triple up.

The flop came 9♠6♠6♦ and He check-called a bet of 600,000 from Ufano and Altomonte got out of the way.

The 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) is getting ready to debut a brand new event!
Tomorrow, Wednesday, June 7 at 2 p.m., Event 20: $1,500 Badugi will get underway at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, June 7, but if you don't know how to play, fear not as we've put together this primer to get you up to speed and ready to compete.
Badugi is a four-card triple draw lowball poker variant that isn’t as well-known as other games, but those who learn and play it often characterize it as a fun alternative poker game filled with action.
A lot of players enjoy Badugi because it has a fairly simple objective and, because the format and goal differ from many other variants, there are different strategies employed.
Although the exact origin of the game is unknown, many believe it originated in South Korea in the latter half of the 20th century, while others claim it was popularized in Canada in the 1980s where it was called “Off Suit Lowball”.
The name allegedly comes from the Korean word baduk or badug which refers to a black and white pattern, with badugi a common name for a black and white spotted dog. The board game Go was called baduk in Korean.
