Today’s entertaining adventure in the 2023 World Series of Poker begins at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas with Event #28: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Freezeout. The tournament structure and buy-in will be sure to attract many elite and top-notch players due to the freezeout structure. This event is scheduled for three days.
Justin Pechie won this tournament last year for $364,899 and his second career WSOP gold bracelet. Pechie’s first bracelet came in 2011, winning Event #41: $1,500 Limit Hold’em Shootout for $167,060. Pechie has been spotted competing in other events at the series this year, so he will very likely show up to defend his title.
Last year a total of 1,774 players took a shot to win the $2,368,290 prize pool. This year is expected to surpass those numbers with a record number of entrants.

Caitlyn Cobb was an early casualty on Day 1.
She reported that she ran her 10x10x into Fabio Radovini's JxJx, in a blind on blind scenario. And as this is a freezeout event, Cobb will be taking no futher part in the tournament.

Will Benton was in the big blind and the flop was 6♦6♣J♠ and he bet 1,000. The late position player who was the preflop aggressor called.
The turn 8♣ was checked by both players.
When the A♠ came out on the river Benton bet out 2,200 and the late position player called and tabled 3♠4♠. Benton showed J♥Q♠ for the win with a pair of jacks.

Table #192 called PokerNews over to explain a story of tilt.
On a board reading 6♥4♥3♠, Adam McLaughlin bet 2,000 and was quickly raised to 5,600 by the player in position. McLaughlin responded to that by going all in for about 23,000 and his opponent made the call.
Adam McLaughlin: Q♥5♥
Late Position: 3♦4♣
The late position player had flopped two-pair and McLaughlin had a straight draw to go along with his flush draw. He didn't have to wait long to catch up when the 2♣ rolled off on the turn for the straight and when the 9♥ rolled off on the river for the flush.
The late position player was left with only 1,600 to which he said, "Fuck it, I'm out of here." He proceeded to leave the tournament area and left his stack to be blinded out. It's unclear what his plans are for the rest of the day.
