One of the most exciting things about the World Series of Poker is seeing a plethora of celebrities, athletes and musicians all participating in the game we love to play. And this year has been no exception with the likes of James Woods, Broadway star Aaron Tveit and UFC fighter Colby Covington all cutting up on the felt the last few weeks.
Then on Wednesday, July 5, a huge shock entrant rocked up to the Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas to play the WSOP Main Event. Former Manchester City and Argentina forward Sergio Aguero entered poker's biggest event and cruised through Day 1c and ended up bagging an above starting stack for Day 2.
The soccer superstar is still in contention to make it through to the next stage as he currently sits with 150,000 in front of him, which is almost twice as much as what he started with this morning.
The player under the gun tossed out a single 1,000 chip and was slow to say "raise." Action folded to Daniel Negreanu in the big blind as the table discussed whether or not the player had said raise before or after the chip hit the felt.
Negreanu said it was fine and called the 1,000, but before the flop, the table seemed to reach a consensus that the raise should be a call because he was a bit late actually announcing it as a raise.
Negreanu got a 600-chip rebate and both players saw the flop come Q♠K♠10♦.
Negreanu checked and his under-the-gun opponent tossed out a bet of 400. Negreanu put in a call to see the turn come the J♠.
Both players checked through to the A♠ river and once more, both players checked through to get to a showdown.
Negreanu said, "Flush" as he turned up the 7♠5♦4♥2♠, causing his opponent to toss his cards in the muck as the dealer sent the pot Negreanu's way.

With a few limps in front of him, Alfie Norik in the big blind declared "pot" and put out a bet of 1,600. He was called by the cutoff and the small blind.
The dealer fanned out a flop of 8♦7♦5♥. The small blind checked to Norik, who bet again, this time for 3,200. The cutoff folded but the small blind came along.
On a 10♥ turn, Norik barrelled again, for just over 10,000. This time it was enough to get his last opponent to fold.

On a board reading 2x7x9x, the late position player bet out 2,000 and got called by Soya Yamashita on the button to bring out the K♦ on the turn.
The late position player bet out again, this time for 4,000. Yamashita came over the top by potting and his opponent immediately seemed to regret his decision to lead out.
After a few moments of thinking, Yamashita's opponent showed that he was drawing with Kx8x6x and folded.
"I should've just checked," he said as the dealer pushed the chips to Yamashita,

Jason Pedigoe limped from the hijack and the button raised to 1,500. The small blind announced "pot" and both his opponents called, with Pedigoe being all in.
On a flop of 2♠A♦6♥, the button called "pot" again to get rid of the player on the button.
Jason Pedigoe: A♥Q♠7♥6♦
Button: A♠J♥9♠8♥
The turn came a 10♣ and the river a 5♠. Pedigoe took the main pot, with a few hundred left over on the side for the button.

Heads up on a flop reading 10♠4♣K♠, first to act checked, and Daniel Negreanu bet 4,000 but was soon faced with a raise to 18,500, which he called.
The turn brought the 5♦ and the early position player bet his last 10,500 to which Negreanu said, "I just wanted to see if a spade came." and stuck in the call, implying he was folding if a flush card came.
The river was Ax and Negreanu made aces up to scoop the pot, collecting a bounty.
PokerNews was unable to catch both players hands before they hit the muck.
