Weisman is the Good Hand Kid

Nível 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

On a board reading 6♥4♣4♠A♠5♥, Dylan Weisman had placed an all in wager for 128,000 on the river and Michael Dentale was at a decision. He spent a bit of time trying to get a read on Weisman, but eventually gave him a crying call.

Weisman quickly tabled, 4♦5♠7♥8♠ for the rivered full house and Dentale made mention he knew he probably wasn't bluffing but he flashed the A♦K♦7x3x to show he felt he was just a little too strong to fold with his made straight.

"Good hand, kid... good hand." said Dentale in a way only someone from the east coast could.

Jogador	Fichas	Progresso
Michael Dentale	1,350,000 -150,000	-150,000
Dylan Weisman	475,000 215,000	215,000

Nível 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Eli Elezra limped from early position and called when Ronald Keijzer raised to 36,000.

Both players checked through the 2♠Q♠J♠ flop and 5♦ turn. Action picked up on the 5♠ river, as Elezra led out for 78,000. Keijzer took a moment before raising to 240,000, as Elezra asked for a count.

Elezra then moved all in, producing a fold from Keijzer to take down a sizeable pot.

Eli Elezra	728,000 208,000	208,000

Ronald Keijzer	550,000 325,000	325,000

Coming Into Day 2 With a Bang

Nível 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

On a board reading 3♣4♠2♠5♦6♠, Venkata Muramalla was facing a bet from Suk Bang for the remainder of his chips. Muramalla spent quite a bit of time mulling over his decision and eventually did call.

Suk Bang was first to show and revealed the nut flush in the form of A♠8♠9♣2♦. A frustrated Muramalla flashed 7♠3♠8x6x for what was the nut straight, rivered flush.

Muramalla was sent to pay outs and Bang continued to extend their chip lead.

Arieh's Run Ends

Nível 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Josh Arieh slid almost all of his short stack into the middle after the 2♥5♠8♣ flop, leaving 5,000 behind. Filippos Stavrakis took some time before calling the bet, after which the remaining chips were tossed into the middle ahead of the turn card.

Josh Arieh: Q♠J♦10♦8♥
Filippos Stavrakis: A♥A♦10♥7♦

Arieh's pair of eights needed help, but the 2♦ turn gave Stavrakis two pair to end it. The 7♣ river completed the board, as Arieh made his way to the payout desk.

Negreanu Moves From PLO to Hold-Em

Nível 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Cards were on their backs and Daniel Negreanu had his camera out, sweating both his opponents' cards and how they affected his outs.

Daniel Negreanu: K♠Q♠Q♦2♦
Will Berry: A♣9♦6♦8♣
Nicolas Gola: K♥Q♥2♦2♣

Gola was the only one with a hefty stack and put both his opponents at risk. The flop ran out K♦6♣J♥ putting Gola and Negreanu ahead with the same made hand. The A♥ on the turn was a dagger to both of them as Berry now took the lead. An inconsequential 7♠ fell on the river.

Berry found a triple up and Negreanu was left chopping a measly pot with Gola; this left Negreanu with only 16,000 chips. He did fold a few hands before getting it in three ways shortly after but to no avail.

Negreanu was in a hurry to get his pay out, as he intends on registering the $10,000 Limit Hold'em event that's going on today. This is a variant he has years of experience in and, as always, we'll have to keep an eye on him to catch his next deep run.

Jogador	Fichas	Progresso
Nicolas Gola	620,000 -120,000	-120,000
Will Berry	190,000 91,000	91,000
Daniel Negreanu	Eliminado

Day 2 of Event #21: $1,000 Pot Limit Omaha 8-Handed Begins at Noon

Day 1 of Event #21: $1,000 Pot Limit Omaha 8-Handed saw a field of 2,017 entries dwindled down to the last 117 competitors. They'll return today at noon to the Horseshoe Event Center to vie for the lion's share of the $1,795,130 prize pool. The eventual winner will collect $267,991 and the luscious gold WSOP bracelet, but that will not be determined until Day 3 Saturday.

Suk Bang bagged the chip lead, which is worth nearly 150 big blinds, and was followed by Ido Aboudithe, who was the only other player who bagged over a million with roughly 100 big blinds. There will be plenty of other notables with a chance at a run including former WSOP Player of the Year winners, Josh Arieh and Daniel Negreanu.

There are also a couple of Pot Limit Omaha coaches in the form of Dylan Weisman and Fernando "Jnandez" Habegger who both bagged decent stacks; this is Weisman's third year bagging this tournament, having won it in 2021. Habegger is fresh off a runner up in the $5,000 NLH/PLO Mix last week. David Williams also bagged a decent stack, he bagged last year but the final table eluded him.

Keep it tuned to PokerNews all summer long for up-to-date coverage of this and all bracelet events here at the 2023 World Series of Poker!
