Sagle Picks Off Vazquez

David Salituro

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Jason Sagle and Luis Vazquez went to the river with the board showing 9♠3♣J♠9♦10♥ when Sagle bet 475,000 from the hijack.

Vazquez then raised to 2,000,000 in middle position and Sagle pondered the decision for around two minutes before calling. Vazquez angrily threw A♦Q♠ into the muck while Sagle turned over Q♣J♣ for jacks and nines to win the pot.

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Stephen Song in the hijack opened to 300,000, then Niklas Astedt in the cutoff three-bet to 800,000. The button and the blinds folded, and Song decided to four-bet all-in. Astedt looked at his cards and snap-called.

Niklas Astedt: A♥A♣ All in
Stephen Song: A♠3♠

Even if he had aces, Astedt was not guaranteed to win as the flop of J♠8♠10♣ gave a flush draw to Song. The 2♣ turn didn't change anything, and Astedt was able to double his 6,100,000 chip stack after the 9♣ river.

Niklas Astedt	12,600,000 7,475,000	7,475,000

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

A nightmare turn card appeared for a former Hustler Casino Live dealer late on Day 6 of the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event.

Sami Bechahed, who won the PokerStars NAPT Las Vegas Main Event in November, was only about 70 spots shy of becoming the next world champion and winning $10 million. And then he ran into an unfortunate situation at the worst possible time.

Two hands were still in progress while the rest of the field had already gone off on break.

Brian Rast raised to 300,000 in the cutoff and Tomas Szwarcberg called on the button before Rodrigo Portaleoni three-bet to 1,600,000. Rast then moved all in and both opponents quickly folded.

At another table, Veerab Zakarian and Malo Latinois were heads-up on a board of Q♠2♠7♣4♠ with already more than 2,000,000 in the middle. Zakarian then bet 875,000 from the big blind and Latinois called in the cutoff.

The river was the 4♣ and Zakarian moved all in for 3,800,000. Latinois snap-called with J♠10♠ for a flush and Zakarian flashed A♦K♠ before making his exit.
