Nível 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

The hijack opened to 800 and Chance Kornuth three-bet to 3,000 in the cutoff. Maria Konnikova called in the small blind and so did the hijack.

The trio went to see a 9♠7♠5♦ flop and it checked to Kornuth who continued for 2,000. Konnikova raised it to 6,000 and the hijack called. Kornuth thought about his move for a minute and put 17,000 in the middle. Konnikova announced all in, covering her two opponents.

The hijack quickly folded but Kornuth went deep into the tank, with a remaining stack worth 29,000, and eventually gave back his cards to the dealer.

Jogador	Fichas	Progresso
Maria Konnikova	90,000 37,000	37,000

Chance Kornuth	29,000 -23,100	-23,100

Nível 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

John Ypma opened to 800 in middle position and Uri Reichenstein three-bet to 3,000 on his left. The action folded back to Ypma who four-bet to 7,000 and Reichenstein called.

The flop came 9♥7♥6♦ and Ypma continued with a bet of 4,000. Reichenstein ripped all in for 19,400 which put Ypma into the tank. After a couple of minutes, he finally called and the cards were tabled.

Uri Reichenstein: 10♠10♥
John Ypma: A♥K♦

Ypma held two over cards to Reichenstein's pair but the J♣, Q♦ runout was not enough as Reichenstein held on to double up.

Uri Reichenstein	54,500 27,500	27,500
John Ypma	33,100 2,100	2,100

Nível 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Gianluca Speranza raised to 600 in the cutoff and Dinesh Alt flat-called on the button. They went heads-up to a flop of 10♥6♦4♣ and both players checked to the 6♠ on the turn.

Speranze tossed in a bet of 500 on the turn and Alt stuck around to see the 9♥ on the river. Speranza fired out another bet of 1,700 and Alt thought for a moment before calling. Speranza showed 3♠3♣ but was no good against the 7♠7♦ of Alt.

Welcome to Day 1 of Event #44: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em

gaellej

Welcome to the opening day of Event #44: $3,000 Buy-In No-Limit Hold'em inside the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. It is the third $3,000 event of the 2023 World Series of Poker. This prestigious tournament will see a star-studded field come out to play for another shot at taking home a WSOP bracelet.

Last year saw Austria's Stefan Lehner beat a field of 1,240 players to claim his first bracelet and career best score of $558,616. Lehner overcame a difficult final table last year, featuring former bracelet winners David Miscikowski, Joey Weissman and Davide Suriano, before defeating Toby Boas heads-up.

To defend his title, Lehner will likely have to outlast an even larger field because of the record-breaking fields seen at the 2023 WSOP.

The action will get underway at 10 a.m. local time inside the Paris ballroom. Players will be given a starting stack of 40,000 chips with the blinds starting at 100/100. The levels will be 60 minutes in length with a 20-minute break after every two Levels. A total of 10 levels will be played on Day 1 before action resumes on Day 2 on Tuesday at 10 a.m. local time.

A 75-minute dinner break is also on the schedule after Level 6, which is expected to be around 4.40 p.m. Late registration is possible until the end of Level 12 and the following break, which should be 12:15 p.m. on Day 2. Only one reentry is allowed on this event.

Keep it locked here as the PokerNews live reporting team will bring you all of the updates throughout the tournament and until a new champion is crowned.
