Action started with JJ Liu who limped under the gun for 80,000. It then folded to Prabakaran Sivabalasundaram in the cutoff who raised to 190,000. The button folded and the small blind then went all in having both players covered. Liu snap called and Sivabalasundaram went in to the tank for over a minute before calling it off for his tournament.

JJ Liu: A♥A♣
Prabakaran Sivabalasundaram: 5♣5♥
Small Blind: 8♣8♦

The full board ran out 10♣K♦9♣5♦K♣ and with Sivabalasundaram's turned set he would scoop and send Liu to the rail.

Negreanu also offers his thoughts on the Poker Hall of Fame, including who he thinks will get in and the changes he’d like to see moving forward. Finally, “Kid Poker” offers his prediction for the 2023 WSOP Main Event, which is also the first big topic discussed by the hosts.

Chad and Jesse then do a new "Calling the Clock" segment in which they offer quick two-minute dialogues for topics on “The Board.”

Jacques Ortega raised under the gun 250,000 and the big blind made the call.

The dealer spread a flop of K♣Q♣7♣, and the big blind check-called a continuation bet of 225,000 from Ortega.

When the 7♥ hit the turn, the big blind jammed his last 325,000 in the middle and Ortega snap-called.

Big blind: Q♠10♥
Jacques Ortega: A♣8♥

Ortega was behind to the pair of queens but the 3♣ river gave him a flush to send his opponent to the rail.

Ten, Ten, Ten for Tenorio; Weisner Eliminated

Melanie Weisner

Just before the dinner break, Yvette Tenorio got into an all in altercation against Melanie Weisner.

Tenorio had woken up with pocket tens and Weisner had pocket queens, but when a ten came on the board, Tenorio might has well have shouted her name from the rooftops.

Just after returning from dinner:

Tenorio was facing an all in from Antonio Graham on her direct right and after some time, she went all in, isolating him as it folded back around.

Antonio Graham: J♥10♥
Yvette Tenorio: A♣K♣

The flop slid out 8♠Q♠8♥, giving Graham a gutshot. The 5♠ was of no help, and the A♦ secured another knock out for Tenorio, skyrocketing her in the chip counts.

Arreola Gets it All

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

There was a player that limped under the gun for 100,000. It then folded to a a player in late position who made it 350,000. The next few players folded and Darrick Arreola defended his big blind. The limper also called and they were off to a flop three ways.

The J♥A♠4♦ flop hit the felt and as the last card was being fanned out, Arreola had already snap-jammed all in having the two other players covered.

The preflop limper folded and the late position player went into the tank. Eventually he landed on a call and the cards hit the felt.

Late position: K♠K♦
Darrick Arreola: A♦8♠

The rest of the board ran out clean and Arreola would get a knockout and a pile of chips to add to his already growing stack.

Abrams Almost Laid it Down

Level 27 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Jeremy Abrams had a similar stack at risk and it proved to be a classic flip when cards were on their back.

Opponent: A♥K♣
Jeremy Abrams: 10♣10♥

The flop rolled out clean for Abrams with the J♦J♥8♦, the turn bricked the 3♥ and when the board completed the J♠, Abrams was visibly elated as he clapped his hands in victory. He went as far as saying he considered folding before the flop, but couldn't quite bring himself to.
