Defending Champ Yoon Eliminated Early

Nível 5

Brian Yoon was down to his last 1,400 chips and almost all-in after paying the 1,200 chip big blind. Warwick Mirzikinian raised under the gun and Michael Trivett called before Yoon committed his final 200 chips.

Mirzikinian bet all three draws, with Trivett finally folding after drawing his final card. Yoon left his final drawn card in place, and turned over his first four cards to see he was live against Mirzikinian.

Yoon slowly exposed a king, and Mirzikinian took the pot to eliminate the defending champion.

Arieh Can Beat a Pair (But Does Not)

Nível 5

Players were in a jovial mood at table 129, where 2021 WSOP Player of the Year Josh Arieh had just taken his seat. Arieh jumped straight into the action, raising from under the gun. A player in the cutoff called, as did Nathan Gamble out of the big blind.

On the initial draw all three players took two cards. Gamble checked to Arieh, who bet and was called by his two opponents. At this point Daniel Negreanu could be heard to say, "Josh Arieh has no clue what he is doing".

The second draw saw Gamble take two, Arieh one and the cutoff player two. Gamble checked again and Arieh continued his aggression with another bet. The player in the cutoff called and Gamble got out of the way to send the two players heads-up to the final draw.

Both players took one card on the third draw and at this point Arieh slowed down, checking to his opponent, who put in a bet and said that he could have a pair. As he tossed in calling chips, Arieh said, "I'm gonna call because you said you could have a pair". His opponent turned over at which point Arieh jokingly exclaimed, "you liar!".

Henson Finds a Wheel

Nível 4

David Benyamine opened from the cutoff and faced a three-bet from Ray Henson on the button. The blinds got out of the way and Benyamine made the call to send the two players heads-up to the initial draw.

Benyamine drew two to Henson's one on the first draw before checking to the initial raiser. Henson led out and Benyamine made the call.

On the second draw Benyamine stood pat while Henson drew one. Benyamine then bet into Henson, who flatted.

The third draw followed the same drawing pattern as the second, with Benyamine standing pat and Henson taking one. Benyamine then fired off another bet only to be met with a raise. Not satisfied with the size of the pot, Benyamine came back over the top. Henson continued the raising war with a cold four-bet, which Benyamine, shaking his head as if he knew exactly what he was up against, called. Henson tabled for the wheel and Benyamine mucked to send a sizable pot the American's way.

Kessler's Advice, Draw Four

Nível 3

Dominik Baud limped from the cutoff as did Allen Kessler in the small blind. Cody Espeseth checked his option out of the big blind to keep action three-handed headed to the initial draw.

The first draw saw both Kessler and Espeseth draw four while Baud took two. Kessler then checked without looking at his drawn cards and Espeseth followed suit. Baud checked behind.

"I wish I would've bet", said Kessler as he took one on the second draw. Both Espeseth and Baud drew two, after which Kessler led out, eliciting folds from his opponents. "That's how you do it, draw four", joked Kessler as he raked in the pot.

Baud Wins Four-Way Pot

Nível 2

Vladislav Denisov raised from middle position and was called by Dominik Baud on the button. The two players in the blinds also called to send action four-ways to the initial draw.

The small blind, big blind and Denisov all took two cards while Baud drew one. Action then checked to Baud, who led out. None of his opponents were prepared to get out of the way just yet, keeping play four-handed.

On the second draw, the same drawing pattern was repeated and once again action checked to Baud, who fired off another bet. This time the small blind folded and the big blind responded with a raise, which was enough to fold out Densiov. Baud, meanwhile, made the call.

The final draw saw both remaining players stand pat, after which the big blind led into Baud. Baud was not dissuaded, however, and raised. Shaking his head, the big blind called and was shown by Baud for the stone cold nuts.

Benyamine Makes the Call

David Benyamine raised from the button and was three-bet in the small blind by Dominik Baud. Benyamine called and both players patted after the second draw. Baud continued to bet and was called by Benyamine to the last draw, where Baud threw out a bet before Benyamine patted the table. "I have to call" said Benyamine, "you're in such a rush to bet". It was the correct play, as Benyamine showed his number five to take down the pot.
