2023 World Series of Poker
One of the most exciting things about the World Series of Poker is seeing a plethora of celebrities, athletes and musicians all participating in the game we love to play. And this year has been no exception with the likes of James Woods, Broadway star Aaron Tveit and UFC fighter Colby Covington all cutting up on the felt the last few weeks.
Then on Wednesday, July 5, a huge shock entrant rocked up to the Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas to play the WSOP Main Event. Former Manchester City and Argentina forward Sergio Aguero entered poker's biggest event and cruised through Day 1c and ended up bagging an above starting stack for Day 2.
The soccer superstar is still in contention to make it through to the next stage as he currently sits with 150,000 in front of him, which is almost twice as much as what he started with this morning.

Action was picked up on the river. Players were heads up and the board read 8♦3♣5♣10♦K♦ and there was about 60,000 in the middle.
Jerome Zerbib bet 40,000, sending his opponent deep into the tank. After about three minutes his opponent made the call and showed down K♣Q♣ for a king-high flush draw on the flop that turned into top pair with a strong kicker. Zerbib showed down K♠10♠ for two pair, kings and tens which was good enough to take a sizable chunk off of his opponent's stack.

Zae Yoo had been all in at least five times today, he said, and down to six big blinds had already sucked out Ax3x vs 6x6x and Jx9x vs QxQx. Now he had shoved all in from under the gun. Cutoff Carlos Henriques called, and when Elson Lima rejammed, Henriques called that also. Yoo would once again be at risk for his tournament life against long odds.
Zae Yoo: 9♦9♥
Elson Lima: Q♠Q♣
Carlos Henriques: A♠K♠
The flop continued Yoo's incredible run of good luck, 9♠6♦7♥. "I don't know what to say," said Yoo.
The 7♠ gave Yoo a full house, and Henriques outs to a flush to win the side pot. A 9♣ on the river sparked pandemonium at the table,.
"I had to push," said a stunned Yoo. "I was ready to go."
"Are you alright?" asked Lima as he pulled in the side pot.
"Not really," replied Yoo, visibly shaking as he raked in his triple up, once again having defied the odds.

The action was heads-up on the turn with the board reading 8♦7♠6♦10♠ and around 22,000 in the middle. Manny Tarich and Dario Sammartino each committed 12,500 to the pot on the turn as the pot continued to grow.

Tarich pointed the board before turning over 9♥7♥. Sammartino flipped over A♥J♦ for a better straight and earned a double-up.

On the first hand, Robert Kuhn opened to 2,400 and got called by Subhan Anders Ohman to go see a flop 5♠K♣J♠. Kuhn continued for 2,300 and Ohman quickly called.
The turn was the J♥ and Kuhn fired 17,000 into the pot. Once again, Ohman chose to call.
On the 4♥ river, Kuhn sent 75,000 in the middle, putting Ohman at risk for his stack worth 69,000. The latter quickly called, showing K♦K♥, and Kuhn sent A♥9♠ into the muck.
The hand right after, Kuhn open-shoved under the gun for his last 18,500 and Clayton Mozdzen reshoved for a stack around 26,000. The rest of the players folded and they tabled their cards:
Robert Khun: K♠J♠
Clayton Mozdzen: Q♥Q♠
Mozdzen's pair of queens held throughout the board 4♣8♥2♥6♥9♠ to win the pot while Kuhn was sent to the rail.

Jules Dickerson and Dominic Coombe had created a pot of 26,000 chips when the action reached the turn. Both players then checked the K♠10♥9♥10♦ board and the 3♠ river was dealt subsequentially.
Coombe checked again from the hijack but Dickerson had other plans on the button and bet out 18,000 chips. Coombe instantly folded and Dickerson raked in another pot, leading the Red section by a fair margin.
