Nível 32 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Liran Betito raised 550,000 under the gun and Kevin Rand made the call before Michael Holmes shoved his 1,750,000 in the middle. Both Betito and Rand made the call.

Holmes was already standing up and putting his backpack on as the Q♦5♠2♠ flop hit and once Betito checked, Rand announced a pot-sized bet. Betito snap-mucked and both hands were tabled.

Michael Holmes: A♦K♠5♦4♣
Kevin Rand: A♣K♣Q♥7♠

Holmes was in rough shape as Rand had flopped top pair but the 2♣ turn and 5♣ river improved him to trip fives as he sat back down to collect the triple up.

Nível 32 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Jerome Hickel opened to 550,000 in early position before Liran Betito moved his short stack all in. Stuart McMahen called in the big blind to see the flop.

The dealer fanned J♠3♣K♦, producing checks from McMahen and Hickel. The K♣ turn saw Hickel bet 400,000, which was called by McMahen to the 3♦ river.

Both players checked again, with Hickel revealing Q♦J♦J♣3♠ for a full house. McMahen mucked, while Betito flashed his losing hand quickly before hitting the rail in 15th place.

Tboss

Nível 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Jonathan Dimmig raised to 900,000 in the small blind and Jorge Ufano three-bet before Dimmig announced all-in for 3,000,000, which Ufano snap-called.

Jonathan Dimmig: K♠Q♥8♠6♠
Jorge Ufano: A♠A♣6♠2♣

Ufano had one of the best possible starting hands with aces double-suited, but Dimmig smashed the 9♣7♠5♥ flop, giving him a straight. The 2♠ turn gave Ufano a flush draw but Dimmig was able to dodge it as the 7♥ landed on the river.

Noah Goldman Eliminated in 14th Place ($10,706)

Tboss

Nível 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Jonathan Dimmig raised to 600,000 under the gun and the action folded around to Noah Goldman in the big blind. He paused for a moment before sliding his 700,000 across the line, which Dimmig instantly called and both hands were revealed.

Noah Goldman: A♦K♠K♣2♣
Jonathan Dimmig: A♣J♣6♦4♦

"Oh you have a real hand," said the table as Goldman rolled his hand over.

The dealer spread a flop of 7♦5♥3♣, giving Dimmig a flopped straight for the second time in an orbit, leaving Goldman drawing slim. The 9♥ hit the turn, sealing Goldman's fate of 14th place and the 5♣ river was just a formality.

Nível 34 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Kevin Rand raised to 800,000 under the gun and the action folded to Stuart McMahen in the big blind who made the call.

The dealer fanned a flop of 10♠8♥4♣ and McMahen took the lead, pushing out a bet of 2,200,000. Rand went into the tank for about a minute eying up McMahen's 2,100,000 behind and eventually raised the pot, which meant it was all-in to call for McMahen. McMahen made the call and both players tabled their hands.

Stuart McMahen: 7♥6♠4♠2♥
Kevin Rand: A♥10♦5♣4♥

Rand flopped two pair and improved to a full house as the board ran out 10♣ on the turn and 3♥ on the river, eliminating McMahen in 13th place.

Joseph Altomonte: A♦Q♠J♦6♠

Atamian's pair of kings was in front, but the 7♠Q♦9♦ flop gave Altomonte plenty of outs. The 7♦ turn completed Altomonte's flush, while the 9♣ river changed nothing to send Atamian to the rail in 12th place.

Jesse Yaginuma: Q♦9♥6♦5♣
Kevin Rand: A♥A♣5♥2♦

Jonathan Dimmig: Q♥6♥2♣2♥
Joseph Altomonte: K♠K♥Q♠8♦

The Two Failed Bluffs in One Week that Cost Doug Polk $700k

Nível 34 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Chris Moneymaker had the Bluff of the Century in 2003. This past week, Doug Polk had perhaps the Failed Bluff of the Century.

On Sunday, heads-up for a bracelet, Polk bluffed off a significant portion of his stack at the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) less than one week after his infamous bluff attempt that didn't get through on Hustler Casino Live's $1 million game.

In both instances, the Upswing Poker founder had a busted draw and attempted to use aggression to coerce his opponents into folding somewhat marginal holdings in massive pots. Both times, however, his efforts were unsuccessful and quite costly.
