Phil Ivey raised to 16,000 from middle position, with the big blind defending.
The flop came Q♣10♣10♦, and the big blind checked. Ivey bet 12,000 before the big blind raised to 31,000. Ivey made the call.
The 3♣ came on the turn, and again action was checked to Ivey. This time he bet 60,000, with the big blind raising once more to 132,000. Ivey took a few moments before tossing in the call.
A small crowd gathered at the rail as the 2♠ fell on the river. The big blind looked at his cards before checking once more. Ivey announced that he was all in, and the big blind folded immediately. Ivey pulled in a huge pot to add to his ever-growing stack.
After two shorter stacks moved all in before him, Sean Winter moved all-in over the top and the remaining players quickly folded as the cards were tabled.
Player 1: 8♥4♥
Player 2: 7♦7♠
Sean Winter: A♥Q♥
"Oh, you've got this, easy," Someone at the table told Sean, and just like that, a queen appeared right in the window of the Q♠10♣6♥ flop to give him the lead.
The board completed with the 2♠3♥ to secure his victory and he was awarded the pot along with two shiny bounties for his efforts.
Players at the 2023 World Series of Poker usually have the opportunity to win a bracelet on Day 3 or Day 4 of an event. Those looking to ascend to the top without having to bag will take their seats today in Event #72: $10,000 Super Turbo Bounty at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
This single-day tournament will kick off at 2 p.m. local time. $3,000 from each player's entry fee will be set aside as their bounty, which is the amount that players will earn for each elimination they accrue during the tournament. With this event occuring just two days before the Main Event commences, a large field of big-name players is expected.
Last year's event was won by Nacho Barbero, who topped the 419-player field to take down $587,520 and his first WSOP bracelet. The Argentinian pro also collected 16 bounties, earning him an additional $48,000 from his knockouts alone. Barbero entered an unscheduled Day 2 with a massive advantage in chips, and took home the victory in front of a boisterous rail.
Nacho Barbero
Barbero was joined at the final table by Maria Ho (who finished fifth) and Andrew Lichtenberger (who placed sixth.) Other notable players making the money in last year's event included Jonathan Little (12th), Kenny Hallaert (35th), Phil Ivey (41st), and Chance Kornuth (49th).
