Marquez Bluffs Some Off

Frank Visser

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Ana Marquez was in middle position and was involved in a 29,000 pot against a player in the cutoff. Marquez checked on 7♣4♦2♥Q♠ and so did her opponent.

The river then came the 6♠ and Marquez put out 18,000 chips. Her opponent immediately called and Marquez stated: "You're good."

Upon hearing that, the player tabled 7♦6♦ and the two pair was indeed good as Marquez slid her cards towards the muck.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Nana Sanechika raised in early position to 2,500, finding three callers; the cutoff, small blind and big blind.

The action checked over to the cutoff who bet out 2,500 on a board of A♣4♥10♠. Both the blinds called while Sanechika check-raised to 8,000. The cutoff flat called and the small blind three-bet to 22,000. The big blind got out of the way, Sanechika called the raise and the cutoff folded.

Heads up to a turn of the 3♦. The small blind shoved all in for the remainder of their stack and Sanechika snap-called.

Small Blind: 4♦4♣
Nana Sanechika: 10♦10♥

The river fell the 2♥ and Sanechika claimed this massive pot virtue of a set-over-set cooler.

A player in the hijack opened the action to 2,700 and Gregory Haemmerle put in a three-bet next to act. The rest of the table folded and the initial raiser came along.

The flop fanned out A♣K♥7♠ and the hijack checked to Haemmerle who continued for 7,000. His opponent took a few seconds, but eventually let his cards go and the pot was sent to Haemmerle whose nickname is "The Hammer".

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Barth Melius raised 2,500 in the cutoff and Georgios Koutoumanos called on the button before the big blind did the same.

The dealer fanned a flop of A♦10♣3♣, and the big blind checked to Melius who continued for 3,500. Koutoumanos tossed two reds across the line while announcing a raise to 9,000 and that was enough to earn the pot as both player's cards quickly hit the muck.

Koutoumanos showed the 3♥ while dragging the pot.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

A player in middle position raised to 2,500 and Kevin Kernan called on the button. The flop came out J♣K♥6♣ and the middle position player checked his options and Kernan fired out 4,000 and received a call.

On the turn 10♣ the middle position player announced, "All in" and shoved for the rest of his small stack about 10,000 and Kernan quickly called.

Middle position player: A♥A♠
Kevin Kernan: A♣8♣

Kernan headed to the river already holding the nut flush and the aces were drawing dead when it came the 3♦ which sent the other player packing.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Phil Hellmuth will not be the winner of the 2023 Word Series of Poker Main Event as the all-time leading bracelet winner was eliminated around an hour ago on Day 2d.

The player to send 'The Poker Brat' to the rail was Nicholas "Dirty Diaper" Rigby, who rose to fame in the poker community in the 2021 Main Event after getting into the mix several times with 3x2x.

Hellmuth, who won the Main Event in 1989, has failed to make the money in poker's crown jewel tournament for the last eight years. His last Main Event cash came in 2015, where he finished in 417th for $21,786.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

William Kassouf, Joseph Liberta, and Stoyan Madanzhiev arrived on a flop of 4♠K♦3♠. With around 8,000 chips in the middle, the action checked through.

The 9♣ turn then came and Kassouf led for 4,600 out of the small blind. Liberta, who had amassed a big stack of 455,000 thus far, folded the big blind but Madanzhiev called from the button.

The river then fell the Q♠ and Kassouf waited a while before betting another 15,000. This time, Madanzhiev made the fold and Kassouf chipped up to above starting stack.
