[user153638]

Nível 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Day 1 of the Event #15: $10,000 High Roller 6-Handed at the 2023 World Series of Poker Paradise at Atlantis Hotel & Casino attracted 134 entries, which is sure to grow as late registration is open until the start of Day 2 at 3 p.m. local time Wednesday. The prize pool has already surpassed the $1,000,000 guarantee, but how big it’ll grow will have to wait until Wednesday.

After nine levels of play on Day 1, approximately 60 players found a bag with France’s Jean-Noel Thorel and his stack of 444,000 leading the pack. Others to make it through the night were Yuri Dzivielevski (417,000), Mike Watson (335,500), Jesse Lonis (327,500), Jessica Teusl (266,500), Stephen Song (184,500), and GGPoker Ambassador Daniel Negreanu (89,000).

Of course, not everyone was so lucky. Among those to try and fall were Josh Arieh, Ren Lin, Martin Kabrhel, and Sergi Reixach. The good news is that all of those players can give it another go if they’re keen to fire another bullet.

Day 2 will kick off at 3 p.m. local time on Wednesday, so stay tuned to PokerNews as we bring you all the exciting action for this event from the moment cards are in the air until a winner is crowned.

Daniel Smiljkovic: 5♣4♣
Jessica Teusl: A♠A♣

Teusl was ahead with aces but had to fade Smiljkovic's flush draw and gutshot straight draw. Smiljkovic found no help on the 2♥ turn or J♥ river and was sent to the rail just before the end of the day.

Big Slick Does the Trick for Teusl

[user153638]

Nível 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

How the chips made their way into the middle remains a mystery, but we do know a preflop raising war resulted in Jessica Teusl getting her stack of exactly 100,000 in against

Jessica Teusl: A♦K♣
Karen Nazarian: K♦K♠

Teusl was looking for some help to stay alive, and she found it when the flop fell 5♣A♥6♣ to pair her ace. Neither the 10♥ turn nor 7♣ river changed a thing and Teusl doubled big while Nazarian was left with just 2,000 and would go bust a short time later.

Meanwhile, Isaac Haxton was eliminated from the tournament at a different table.

Back to Back Doubles for Lin

Nível 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Ren Lin, who recently entered and was quickly left short-stacked, moved all in for 1,500 and was called by Nikita Kuznetsov on the button and Tyler Cornell in the big blind.

The flop came K♣K♥6♠. Cornell checked, Kuznetsov bet 2,000 and Cornell folded leaving Lin all in and at risk against Kuznetsov.

Ren Lin: A♣8♦
Nikita Kuznetsov: Q♥7♥

The 3♣ turn and 6♥ river were clean for Lin and he quintupled his stack.

The very next hand at the same table saw Lin move all in for 7,500 from under the gun and receive a call from Pieter Aerts in the big blind to put Lin at risk.

Ren Lin: Q♦10♣
Pieter Aerts: 7♠5♠

Lin seemed poised to double when a queen came in the window but Aerts was far from drawing dead on the Q♣6♣4♠ flop. Lin managed to fade the straight draw on the J♣ turn and 10♦ river to secure another full double up for the second hand in a row.

Arieh check-called another bet from Dzivielevski on the 6♥ turn, this time for 10,000.

The river was the 5♠. Arieh checked once more and Dzivielevski moved all in, covering Arieh's remaining stack of roughly 25,000. Arieh took about a minute before deciding to call.

Arieh tabled A♥J♠ for second pair but Dzivielevski tabled K♣9♣ for top pair to take down a sizable pot while sending Arieh to the rail.

Dzivielevski Puts Former WSOP Main Event Champ to the Test

[user153638]

Nível 6 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

There was 26,600 in the pot and a flop of A♣Q♥6♦ when Yuri Dzivielevski checked from the small blind and 2021 WSOP Main Event champ Koray Aldemir did the same from the big.

After the dealer burned and turned the 5♣, Dzivielevski bet 13,500 and Aldemir paused for a few beats before calling.

On the 4♣ river, Dzivielevski set out 40,000, and Aldemir, who had 31,400 behind, had to decide what to do.

Eventually, he chose to preserve his stack by releasing his hand.

Reixach Bets Small and Gets Punished

Nível 4 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Tyler Cornell opened to 2,000 from the button and Sergi Reixach three-bet to 8,000 from the small blind. Cornell made the call.

The flop came A♣J♣9♦ and Reixach fired a 1,800 continuation bet. Cornell made the call.

Reixach bet small again on the 5♦ turn for 4,000 and once again received a call from Cornell.

The river was the 8♥. Reixach fired another small bet of 5,000 and Cornell moved all in for 35,500. Reixach, who covered Cornell slightly, made the call.

Reixach turned over A♦J♠ for top two pair but Cornell tabled 8♠8♣ for a rivered set to score a full double up through Reixach who was left with just over five big blinds and would bust shortly afterwards.

Ki Knocks Out Bonomo

Nível 3 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Jesse Lonis had opened from the cutoff only for Justin Bonomo to three-bet to 4,000 from the button. Junhyougn Ki then put in a four-bet to 13,000 and Lonis folded. Bonomo moved all in for approximately 35,000 and Ki snap-called with a covering stack to put Bonomo at risk.

Justin Bonomo: A♠Q♥
Junhyoung Ki: A♦K♣

Bonomo was in rough shape with a weaker ace and the K♠9♦5♦ flop left him drawing nearly dead. He found no improvement on the 7♣ turn or 4♠ river and made his exit from the tournament area while Ki took down a nice early pot.

Deeb Rivers Martirosian

Nível 2 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Shaun Deeb opened to 1,000 from udner the gun and Artur Martirosian defended from the big blind.

The flop came 9♣6♦2♦. Martirosian checked and Deeb fired a 1,200 continuation bet. Martirosian put in a check-raise to 4,800, only for Deeb to three-bet to 12,200. Martirosian four-bet to 25,000 and Deeb moved all in for 62,300. Martirosian, who was slightly covered, made the call to put himself at risk.

Artur Martirosian: 6♥2♥
Shaun Deeb: 9♦7♦

Martirosian was ahead with bottom two pair against Deeb's top pair and flush draw. The 8♠ gave Deeb some more outs in the form of an open ended straight draw and the 9♥ river gave him trips to score a full double up and early knockout.

Martirosian would use his option to reenter shortly afterwards.
