Jun Cracks Keating's Aces

Christian Zetzsche

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Three ways to the 10♣4♥4♦ flop, the action checked to Jack Sinclair on the button and he bet 2,000. Jia Jun called out of the big blind before Alex Keating in the hijack check-raised to 7,000 off a short stack. Sinclair folded whereas Jun raised big to 75,000, which had Keating's stack of around 28,000 easily covered.

The call by Keating followed and the cards were exposed.

Alex Keating: A♥A♦
Jia Jun: 4♣3♣

Neither the 8♠ turn nor the K♦ river came to the rescue of Keating, who quickly left the tournament area. Farhad Jamasi was also no longer found on the same table either.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Action was picked up in a multiway pot as one player raised to 2,000 which saw four players call including Julian Aguirre on the button and Espen Jorstad in the big blind.

The flop rolled out 10♦6♦9♠ and action checked around to Aguirre who bet 8,700. In the big blind, Jorstad raised to 26,300 and all other players folded. With action back on Aguirre, he moved all in for 64,000 effective and Jorstad shook his head.

"I'm not happy about it," Jorstad responded while reluctantly putting his chips in the middle to put himself at risk.

Espen Jorstad: 6♥6♣
Julian Aguirre: 8♥7♦

The board ran out A♥8♦ and the straight held up for Aguirre against Jorstad's set of sixes.

The pot was pushed to Aguirre while Jorstad wished his table luck as the 2022 WSOP Main Event champion exited the field, ensuring that a new champion would emerge.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Michael Latuf opened to 2,600 from under the gun and was called in two spots, including Barbara Sargent in middle position. Pedro Marques was one of the short stacks in the big blind and jammed all in for 17,400. Latuf called and Sargent reshoved all in as the big stack. Latuf thought for a minute but eventually decided to lay his hand down.

Pedro Marques: A♠A♥
Barbara Sargent: A♦K♠

"I folded the same hand," Latuf said to Sargent. As was the case, the board ran out 9♠8♣7♠Q♣4♦ and Marques tripled up with hardly any sweat at all.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Alex Foxen raised to 2,000 from early position and Ronald Spooner called from the next seat over. Big blind Jordan Grant also came along and the flop of 7♦Q♣10♣ was dealt.

All players checked before Foxen was the one to put in a bet of 4,000 after another check from Grant. Spooner called and Grant folded, leaving a few big blinds behind.

The 6♥ river then fell and Foxen shoved all in, covering Spooner's 14,500 remaining chips. Spooner mulled it over before eventually putting in the call.

Foxen showed A♦A♣ for the overpair and they beat the K♦10♦ of Spooner by a wide margin. Spooner left the tournament area while Foxen raked in a nice pot to chip up.

Meanwhile, Day 1b chip leader Jean-Pierre van der Spuy has also exited Day 2abc, after a disappointing day.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Jeremy Becker raised to 2,000 from under the gun and in early position, Ramon Colillas three bet to 6,500 which Becker called as all other players folded.

The flop of 7♣6♣3♦ saw Becker check call a bet of 6,000 from Colillas.

On the 3♥ and Becker checked once more to Colillas who bet 21,000 and Becker thought about it for a bit before calling.

Becker checked once more on the 10♥ river as Colillas moved all in for 59,400 and Becker snap called.

Jeremy Becker: 10♣10♠
Ramon Colillas: K♥K♠

Becker had rivered tens full to pull ahead of Colillas and he doubled up while Colillas was left with just two blinds.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

In a heads-up pot with 26,000 in the middle on a flop showing A♦K♦5♦, David Sebesfi fired out 5,000 after his opponent checked to him from the big blind, and after some thought, the big blind called.

On the 7♣ turn the big blind checked again and Sebesfi bet 8,500, which his opponent called. The A♣ completed the board and both players took some time before tapping the table to a showdown.

The big blind rolled over A♠Q♦ for trip aces and Sebesfi smiled before tabling A♥Q♠ for the same hand.

"You should bet the river," joked the big blind as the dealer split up the pot.

"Don't want to get raised there," answered Sebesfi as he collected half the chips.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

A sizable 19,500 had already been accumulated preflop by Yulain Bogdanov and Edouard Mignot. Bogdanov checked and Mignot bet 6,200 on the J♣10♣4♠ flop. Bogdanov then shoved all in for 39,600 and Mignot called after taking a few minutes to think it over, putting his opponent at risk.

Yulian Bogdanov: A♣2♣
Edouard Mignot: 10♥9♥

Bogdanov had one overcard and the nut flush draw, while Mignot was holding on to his flopped pair of tens. The turn of J♦ remained clean for the Frenchman, but the Q♣ river saw Bogdanov's flush come in, doubling him up while denting Mignot's stack.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Following an under the gun raise by Andrea Buonocore and a call by Patrick Loughman from two seats over, Sergi Reixach stuck around from the big blind. On the 8♠7♠5♥ flop, Reixach checked and subsequently check-raised from 5,000 to 22,500 when Buonocore continued and Loughman called.

The check-raise was only called by Buonocore, who then also called Reixach's bet of 14,000 on the A♥ turn. The 4♦ river saw Reixach bet 60,000 and that sent his opponent into the tank.

"It is either a bad river for me or for you," Buonocore said and tank-folded. Reixach checked both of his cards and flashed the 6♦ for a straight before collecting the pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Patrick Loughman	230,000 -8,000	-8,000
Sergi Reixach	155,000 33,600	33,600
