Baranovsky Doubles Through Hou

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

Everybody folded to Vadim Baranovsky in the cutoff, who moved all in for 96,000 chips. The button folded, as did the small blind. But when Jorge Hou looked at his cards in the big blind, he had no choice but to call.

Vadim Baranovsky: Q10
Jorge Hou: JJ

Baranovsky tried to take the blinds but found Hou in his way. However, Baranovsky hit a pair of queens on A32Q6. He is good for a double up and now has more than 200,000 chips. At the same time, Hou is down to 14 blinds.

Guillen Plays Hand as Well as Could Be Expected, Loses to Coetzer

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

Conrad Coetzer bet 40,000 from the cutoff on a board of A22J and Phillip Guillen reraised all in from the small blind for 112,000. Coetzer snapped it off.

Conrad Coetzer: A2
Philip Guillen: KJ

Coetzer had the flopped full house. An inconsequential 4 came on the river and Coetzer took down the pot.

"Please be kind to me when you write this up," requested Guillen.

Jennifer Harman Remembers Doyle: "He Was Like a Marshmallow Puppy Dog to Me"

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

Poker Hall of Famer Jennifer Harman has seen the World Series of Poker (WSOP) in all of its iterations. Harman won two bracelets when the World Series played at Binion's Horseshoe in downtown Las Vegas and made several final tables after the transition to Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in the mid-2000s.

Now, 27 years after her first WSOP final table in 1996, Harman finds herself at yet another World Series rendition at the rebranded Horseshoe Casino on the Strip. And while the golden U-shaped emblem outside the hotel is by and large the same, Harman said the modern venue doesn't compare to the WSOP's original home.

"It was such a cool atmosphere playing at Binion's; it's just nothing like that," Harman told PokerNews. "Now it's just like, you know, poker blew up and it's more ... it's still a really cool atmosphere, but it's just different. It's not a small room, musty, that kind of stuff. But it's still really cool. Poker's still really popular, so that's a pretty awesome thing."

PokerNews caught up with Harman last week as she played Day 1 of Event #25: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship at the 2023 WSOP to ask about her summer schedule, pick for the Poker Hall of Fame and her memories with the late Doyle Brunson.
