Scott Ball raised to 80,000 from under the gun. Vitor Dzivielevski called in the small blind, Alexander Farahi jammed from the big blind for 525,000. Ball called and Dzivielevski folded.
Alexander Farahi: 9♦9♠
Scott Ball: A♦Q♠
Farahi was trying to prevent himself form becoming the first victim of the day with his pocket pair but the flop would not cooperate as it came 4♠Q♦2♦. The turn was the 6♠ and the river came the K♥ to end his day in 16th place.
The board read J♠J♣9♠3♥ and with around 700,000 chips in the pot, Jeremy Ausmus fired a bet of 550,000. Brad Albrinck thought for a moment before he dropped in a call.
On the 10♦ river, Ausmus shoved all in around 1,300,000 and Albrinck, who had an almost identical stack, went into the tank. Albrinck counted out his stack and finally decided upon a fold.
In the 835th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway is joined by poker pros Shaun Deeb and Josh Arieh, who fill in as special co-hosts at Level 9 in Las Vegas where the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) is happening now!
Hear about how Fortnite helped them form Team Lucky alongside Matt Glantz and reigning WSOP Main Event champ Daniel Weinman, Arieh's Poker Stake venture, and their thoughts on the Poker Hall of Fame, including Scott Seiver's chances of getting in after he recently won his fifth gold bracelet.
They also weigh in on two hot topics from this week in poker — whether or not phones, spurred by solver software debates, and excessive masking should be allowed at poker tables.
Speaking of gold, Malcolm Trayner captured his first WSOP bracelet in Event #5: $1,000 Mystery Millions for $1,000,000, while two other players scored million-dollar bounties. Unfortunately, their reactions were a bit subdued, much to the dismay of many in the poker community.
That said, two other players had boisterous celebrations when they pulled six-figure bounties. See them all in the latest episode as well as a winner interview with Trayner.
Finally, learn about other bracelet winners such as David Prociak and Simeon Spasov, get an update on the $25K Fantasy league, and see Jack Binion walk the halls of the Horseshoe and reminisce about 55 years of the WSOP!

They saw a flop of 2♦7♣Q♠ which was checked through to the 2♥ turn. Samual led out for 130,000. Davidson folded, Dixon raised to 280,000, and Samuel folded.
Daniel Sepiol raised to 120,000 from the cutoff. Vitor Dzivielevski three-bet to 400,000 form the button. Sepiol took a little bit of time before jamming all in, Dzivielevski called.
Vitor Dzivielevski: 10♦10♠
Daniel Sepiol: A♥8♠
The flop sent Sepiol ahead as it came 3♠7♦A♦. The turn was the 4♦ and the river came the 8♥ to end the day for Dzivielevski as he packed up the Brazilian flag that was adorned on the rail behind him as he departed.
