Peacock Chips Up With Elimination

Nível 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

The cards were on their backs in an all-in hand between Art Peacock in late position and a player in early position for 39,000 chips on a board reading 7♥2♥9♦.

Early Position: A♥Q♥
Art Peacock: J♥J♦

The early position player flopped a flush draw with two overcards to the board, but Peacock's pair was still best.

Peacock would need to fade quite a few cards in order to secure the elimination and fortunately, the runout would be clean in the form of the 8♠ turn and the 6♣ river.

Jean-Jacques Doubles on Unorthodox First Hand

Nível 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Action caught up to an all-in hand between France's Christophe Jean-Jacques in late position and a player in middle position.

Jean-Jacques had moved all-in on the 6♥9♠3♥ flop and before the player in middle position could make the call, the dealer burned and turned the 10♠ early, resulting in a floor call.

The floor instructed the dealer to shuffle the 10♠ back into the deck if the middle position player made the call, which is what happened, and the cards were on their backs.

Christophe Jean-Jacques: Q♥Q♦
Middle Position Player: J♥J♣

Jean-Jacques was in great shape to score the double and was able to hold on a final board of 6♥9♠3♥2♦2♥.

Thiele Underdog in Unlikely Double Elimination

Nível 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

In a hand relayed to PokerNews by Joe Thiele and a few others at the table, Thiele raised to 2,000 from middle position and was three-bet by a player on the button, with the player in the small blind moving all-in and both Thiele and the player on the button making the call.

Button: K♦Q♦
Small Blind: A♠K♠
Joe Thiele: Q♠2♣

Thiele went in with the worst of it but was able to spike a deuce on the J♥2♦9♣ flop.

However, Thiele was not out of the woods yet, as any card ten or higher would be bad news.

But the turn 4♥ kept Thiele in the lead and the 2♥ on the river secured the double elimination.

Nicholas Rigby Talks "Dirty Diaper" Strategy in the 2023 WSOP Main Event

Nível 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Pittsburgh's Nicholas Rigby made a name for himself in the poker community in 2021 when he ran deep in the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event by playing deuce-three offsuit at every given opportunity. Known as the "The Dirty Diaper" in his local games, Rigby kept his opponents guessing by bluffing, value betting and doing everything else in between with the less-than-premium holding.

Two years later, Rigby again finds himself making a deep run in poker's most prestigious event. And for those wondering, he hasn't forgotten about The Dirty Diaper, a hand he used to build up a Day 1d chip lead that further grew on Day 2d to see him bag the second biggest stack in the room.

PokerNews caught up with Rigby on Day 3 to talk about his tried-and-true loose-aggressive strategy in the WSOP Main Event. Heading into Day 5, Rigby finds himself with a stack of 3,655,000 near the top of the chip counts.

Nível 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

In a hand relayed to PokerNews by Little One for One Drop champ, Adrian Moreno, Moreno was involved in an all-in hand on the turn on a board reading JxJx6x5x.

Opponent: AxJx
Adrian Moreno: AxAx

Moreno would see the bad news once the cards were on their backs, needing the one remaining ace in the deck to win.

Fortunately for Moreno, the ace from space would fall on the river, giving Moreno the full house and the elimination.
