Ji Rivers a Straight to Send Percal Out

Dan O'Hair

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Lynne Ji was heads-up on the button against Alan Percal in the big blind on a board of 9♥2♠6♣4♠. Percal checked to Ji, who announced she was all in, which was enough to put Percal all in for around 120,000. Percal called and hands were revealed.

Alan Percal: K♠K♥
Lynne Ji: 7♣5♣

Percal was ahead with his kings, but the 8♦ river drilled Ji's straight draw and she collected the rest of Percal's chips.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Uri Reichenstein and Vitor De Souza Coutinho saw a flop of 6♠4♠3♥ with already around 70,000 in the middle and Matthew Silva all in from the big blind.

Coutinho led out for 37,000 from the small blind and Reichenstein called. The turn came the A♥ and Coutinho then checked over to Reichenstein, who fired out 32,000.

Coutinho took his time before he called as the J♣ fell on the river. He checked again and Reichenstein bet enough to put him all in.

Coutinho tanked for a few minutes before calling off his last 80,000 with K♥K♦. Reichenstein, though, had 6♣6♦ for the flopped set. Silva showed A♣Q♠ and asked to take a picture of the board before joining Coutinho on the rail.

Action was joined on the turn, with the board showing Q♥6♥J♠5♣ and Stephen Chidwick checking from the hijack. P.J. Cha, the button, bet 10,000. Chidwick raised to 35,000. Cha took several moments before deciding to call.

The river came 3♣. Chidwick led out for 27,000, and Cha made the call. Chidwick turned over A♥Q♠ for top pair, and Cha mucked his hand.

The Muck: Was the WSOP Main Event Payout Structure Absurd?

Jon Sofen

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

It doesn't happen often, and probably won't again for quite some time, but poker Twitter found something to agree on — the confusing 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event payout structure.

Registration closed at the conclusion of Level 7 on Day 2d Saturday with a record 10,043 entrants, easily surpassing the previous record of 8,773 in 2006, the year Jamie Gold won it. The $93.4 million prize pool is also the largest in live tournament poker history, a clear sign that poker is booming. So, how could anyone possibly be upset?

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

David Algarra raised and it folded to Mario Sequeira in the small blind who shoved for a remaining stack around 45,000. Algarra made the call.

Mario Sequeira: J♦6♦
David Algarra: A♠K♣

The board 3♦K♥10♦10♣2♥ didn't help Sequeira, improving Algarra's hand to two pair, and Sequeira made his way to the exit.

Kirk Brown

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

On a heads-up flop of 8♣2♦4♥, Michael Grossman bet 6,000 into the pot but was then raised to 27,000 by Paul Kuzmich.

Grossman made the call and the two went to the turn J♠ which Grossman checked.

Kuzmich then moved all in, covering Grossman.

"Wow, what a turn," Grossman said as he folded Q♣Q♠ face-up, much to the table's surprise.

"You made a good fold," Kuzmich told him, but the world will never know.

Ryan Lashmar

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

A player in the cutoff opened to 6,000 and received a call from Farah Galfond on the button.

Both players checked the J♠6♥2♣ flop, leading to the Q♥ turn. The cutoff checked and Galfond bet 13,000 to force a fold from her opponent.

The next hand at the same table saw a player from middle position open to 5,500. Galfond called from the cutoff and another player called from the button.

All three players checked the 6♦2♣7♠ flop, which led to the 3♥ turn. The original raiser checked, Galfond bet 15,000, the button called and the original raiser from middle position opted to fold.

Both players checked the 7♥ river. Galfond tabled 3♦3♣ for a full house and her opponent quickly mucked his cards.

The next hand saw a player from middle position open to 5,500 and receive calls from Galfond on the hijack and a player in the big blind.

Action checked around to Galfond who bet 5,500 on the 7♣3♣2♣ flop. The original raiser folded and the hijack made the call.

Both players checked through the 4♥ turn and A♦ river.

Galfond tabled 5♥5♦ for the winner to take down her third consecutive pot.
