Nível 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

The eventual winner of the currently underway Event #67: $1,000 Ladies Event Championship at the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) will not only take home a bracelet and $192,167 but will also earn a special place in poker history.

The previous biggest WSOP Ladies Event took place in 2007 with 1,286 entries and saw Sally Boyer defeating Anne Heft to win $262,077. Last year's WSOP Ladies Championship drew 1,074, making for a 20% increase this time around.

Slow Action

Nível 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Action has slowed considerably since the start of this level, with many pots being taken down preflop or with a single bet on the flop.

In a recent pot, Loni Hui raised to 200,000 from the hijack and was three-bet to 750,000 by William Kopp, who was on the button. Action folded back around to Hui who quickly folded.

Nível 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

After Michael Rodrigues raised to 300,000 on the button, Sterling Savill three-bet to 950,000 from the big blind, leaving himself 500,000 behind.

Rodrigues called and the flop came J♦10♥6♠. Savill now checked and faced a bet from Rodrigues that would put him all in if he were to call.

Savill couldn't make that call however, sending his cards to the muck and preserving his final half million chips.

Loni Hui Eliminated in 6th Place ($44,391)

Nível 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

A pair of notable hands have led to the elimination of Loni Hui.

First, after limping under the gun, she called a raise to 500,000 from Michael Rodrigues on the button.

Hui called to see a flop of Q♣8♦4♠, then checked and faced a pot-sized bet of 1,380,000 from Rodrigues which barely covered Hui's stack.

Hui opted to fold and choose to fight at another time.

That time came in the following hand, as after a raise to 420,000 from William Kopp under the gun, Hui called in the big blind.

On the Q♠4♥9♠ flop, Hui moved all in for her last 710,000. Kopp called and Hui was at risk.

Loni Hui: A♥Q♦8♠2♣
William Kopp: K♣K♠9♣4♣

Hui's top pair of queens trailed Kopp's kings. The 8♣ on the turn gave Hui hope for a low with her ace-deuce, though it did give Kopp an added flush draw.

The K♥ on the river ended Hui's day, giving Kopp a winning set of kings to extend his significant chip lead.

Nível 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

After a raise from Mike Linster to 250,000 from under the gun, William Kopp made it 930,000 to go from the cutoff.

Joseph McCarthy was left to a decision for his remaining 405,000 in the small blind, and after a minute or so of thought, he moved all in.

Linster folded and left McCarthy's fate to the chip leader.

Joseph McCarthy: A♦Q♠7♦3♥
William Kopp: A♠A♥Q♥5♥

McCarthy told his rail that he had diamonds working for him, with the J♣10♠5♦ flop bringing him one along with a gutshot Broadway draw.

His flush draw got closer with the 8♦ turn, but the Q♣ on the river brought him no further help, keeping Kopp's aces ahead to eliminate McCarthy.

Rodrigues Doubles Through Kopp Into Chip Lead

MikePatrick

Nível 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Mike Linster in the big blind, William Kopp under the gun, and Michael Rodrigues each committed 300,000 chips to see a flop of 6♥8♠8♣.

After a check from Linster, Kopp bet 350,000 which got a call from Rodrigues but a fold from Linster.

On the 8♦ turn, Kopp kept coming with a bet of 1,000,000. Again Rodrigues called, setting up the river 2♥.

Kopp now checked and Rodrigues shoved his remaining 3,615,000 stack into the middle.

Kopp thought for a couple of minutes and then made the call.

Rodrigues showed A♥A♦7♠2♣ for a full house of eights full of aces. Kopp showed A♠K♠9♠9♦ for an inferior full house of eights full of nines, sending a massive pot to Rodrigues who takes over the chip lead with that win.
