Claudio Passes the One-Million Mark

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Action was picked up on the flop of 2K4 with approximately 100,000 in the middle. A player in late position bet 70,000, leaving himself just 5,000 behind. Ralph Claudio made the call.

Play was heads-up when the turn came the 10 and the middle-position player moved all in for his remaining 5,000. Claudio made the call to put his opponent at risk.

Late Position: A9108
Ralph Claudio: K6310

The river was the 3 and Claudio's two pair was enough to eliminate his opponent and catapult his stack above 1,000,000.

The Two Failed Bluffs in One Week that Cost Doug Polk $700k

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Chris Moneymaker had the Bluff of the Century in 2003. This past week, Doug Polk had perhaps the Failed Bluff of the Century.

On Sunday, heads-up for a bracelet, Polk bluffed off a significant portion of his stack at the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) less than one week after his infamous bluff attempt that didn't get through on Hustler Casino Live's $1 million game.

In both instances, the Upswing Poker founder had a busted draw and attempted to use aggression to coerce his opponents into folding somewhat marginal holdings in massive pots. Both times, however, his efforts were unsuccessful and quite costly.

Vereschagin Moving up Steadily

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

A preflop all-in received two calls and the flop came down 864.

A player in early position bet 35,000 into the dead pot and Greg Vereschagin reraised all in for 123,000. The early raiser folded and left Vereschagin heads up with the preflop shove.

Early Position: AQJ8
Greg Vereschagin: 9987

The turn came 4 and the river 6 giving Vereschagin the higher two pair.

Deeb Takes Another One Out

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

A player from middle position raised to 20,000 and Shaun Deeb three-bet to 72,000. The middle-position player moved all in for slightly more and Deeb made the call to put his opponent at risk.

Middle Position: AQ105
Shaun Deeb: K1099

The board ran out J8449.

"Oh, you made a straight," Deeb commented, but it was not enough to overcome the full house Deeb made on the river. Deeb eliminated his opponent and is now sitting on one of the bigger stacks in the room.
