Ivey's Out Plus a Bunch of Others

Level 10 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Phil Ivey was eliminated when he shoved from the button with Ax10x and was called by Brian Rast in the big blind with the A6. A six on the turn meant Ivey had to go and find bracelet glory in another event.

Chris Hunichen was all-in with the KQ against the AK of Adrian Mateos on a ten-high board to bust.

And Brian Kim lost all his chips when his AK couldn't beat the 77 of Dan Smith.

And more players were eliminated during the last few minutes to get the field down to the final four tables.

Justin Bonomo
Justin Bonomo

Action was picked up on the river with the board reading J347Q. Justin Bonomo was facing a 600,000 bet from Alexandros Theologis with about 800,000 already in the pot.

Justin Bonomo announced "all in" creating a massive pot. Theologis briefly thought about his decision before putting in the call to put Bonomo at risk.

Justin Bonomo: 44
Alexandros Theologis: AQ

Theologis' top pair was crushed by the Bonomo's set of fours. Theologis was left with just 3,000 chips while Bonomo once again pulled in the biggest pot of the tournament so far.

The next hand after this there was another all in confrontation, this time the chips got in preflop between Kevin Rabichow, Dominik Nitsche and Alexandros Theologis. Nitsche had both opponents covered.

Alexandros Theologis: 53
Kevin Rabichow: JJ
Dominik Nitsche: AQ

The board ran out 938K4 awarding Rabichow the double up while Theologis was eliminated and Nitsche was left with a short stack.

Sarah Herzali Comes Up Shy of Being First Female Bracelet Winner of 2023 WSOP

Level 10 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Sarah Herzali
Sarah Herzali

Though the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) has only been underway for a week and a half, there have already been multiple female players who have closed in on WSOP bracelets.

First Kristen Foxen finished seventh in Event #6: $5,000 Mixed No-Limit for $69,683 (and later finished 12th in Event #16: $25,000 High Roller for $79,335), and later France's Sarah Herzali made a deep run in Event #15: $1,500 6-Handed No-Limit Hold'em that had poker fans wondering if she would be the first female champion of the 2023 WSOP.

Though Herzali, who entered the tournament with $552,104 in Hendon Mob earnings, came short of winning a bracelet, she finished third for a career-best $207,720 and to make the deepest run of any woman at the WSOP so far this year.

Chance Kornuth raised to 45,000 from the middle position and both Cary Katz and Yang Wang made the call from the blinds.

The flop came 683, both Katz and Wang checked to Kornuth who continued with a bet of 35,000. Katz called but Wang raised it up to 100,000. Kornuth folded and Katz called again.

They both checked through the K on the turn to the 9 on the river. Katz pushed a big stack forward to put Wang all-in. Wang contemplated for a while but opted to fold for Katz to flip over the 54 for the bluff as he had missed his flopped straight draw.
