Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Bobby Lee opened the action with a raise to 7,000 in early position. Ami Barer called from the cutoff and Jimmy D'Ambrosio called in the small blind.

Action checked to Barer who fired 7,500 on K♦J♦J♥, both D'Ambrosio and Lee made the call.

Barer continued betting, this time for 9,500 on the A♥ turn. Only D'Ambrosio made the call.

The 6♦ river peeled off and action went check-check. Barer tabled A♠K♠ for the winner. D'Ambrosio showed Q♥Q♦ before mucking.

Matusow Folds to Galipienso's Pressure After Lengthy Tank

Dan O'Hair

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Mike Matusow and Adrian Garcia Galipienso were heads-up on a board of J♥10♠3♦4♦ with a sizable pot already in the middle.

Matusow was in the big blind and checked to Galipienso, who bet 55,000. Matusow called.

The 8♣ completed the board and Matusow checked again — prompting Galipienso to shove, which was enough to put Matusow all in for approximately 120,000.

Matusow went deep into the tank and riffled his chips as he contemplated his decision for his tournament life.

"They always say go with your gut," Matusow said.

Eventually, the clock was called on Matusow and one of the floor staff informed him he had 30 seconds to act.

Matusow laid his hand down with about five seconds to go and Galipienso was sent the pot.

"I should have went with my gut," Matusow said. "If you're wrong, you just move onto the next tournament."

Matusow was eliminated shortly after the hand occurred.

No ROI for 2023 Main Event Bubble Jeppe Bisgaard

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

At last year's Main Event, Jeppe Bisgaard was one of three individuals eliminated on the bubble after running kings into aces. Although he fell short of the money, Bisgaard did receive his buy-in back as part of a three-way chop of two min cashes in addition to securing a seat in this year's edition after winning a blind all in with the two other players who bubbled. He was, however, unable to parlay that into a cash to bring his total return on investment across the two tournaments to exactly $0.

Jayphong Nguyen opened to 3,000 from middle position and was called by Patsy Altomari in the cutoff as well as Adam Nattress on the button. Bisgaard then moved all in for his last 29,000 out of the small blind. Nguyen responded by raising to 55,000, forcing the two other players out of the hand.

Jeppe Bisgaard: Q♥J♠ All in
Jayphong Nguyen: K♠K♣

Bisgaard had run his short stack directly into a premium holding and was not even offered a sweat on the 3♦7♣2♥4♣A♣ runout as his main event came to a premature end. Should the Dane choose to take another shot next year, he will have to pony up $10,000 just like everyone else

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Sergio De Lisboa and Massimo De Mario were heads up on a completed board of 5♦5♣5♠9♠8♥.

With around 140,000 chips in the middle, De Lisboa checked to De Mario, who shoved all in for 155,000.

De Lisboa spent minutes in the tank, exposing his J♣9♣ to the table before calling the clock on himself.

He eventually folded before the end of his countdown, after which he got a warning for exposing his cards.

Allen Rivers Trips, Kendenkov Pays Off River Bet

Kai Cocklin

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

With around 25,000 chips in the pot on a board of 6♦A♣9♣8♦, Bryan Allen fired a bet of 15,000, which Vladimir Kendenkov called.

A 6♥ fell on the river and instead of putting in the chips first, Allen announced a bet of 69,000 before he dropped the chips into the pot. Kendenkov took his time but eventually slid a single chip into the pot which signified a call.

Allen tabled Q♣6♣ for rivered trips, and Kendenkov showed he had made the call with A♦Q♦ for top pair.
