Rodrigues Nearly Quadruples Stack

Nível 6 : Blinds 0/0, 600 ante

A player from under the gun opened to 1,200 before the player next to him in early position three-bet to 6,400. The hijack made the call and Michael Rodrigues, who won Event #15: $1,500 Badugi, moved all in for 11,700 from the cutoff. A player on the button raised all in for 67,200, folding out all other players and leaving himself heads up with Rodrigues who was at risk.

Michael Rodrigues: 8♠8♥
Button: A♣K♦

Rodrigues was very behind on the K♠J♣6♠ flop. The 6♦ turn also provided no help but he got exactly what he needed on the 8♦ river to increase his stack nearly four-fold.

Event #83: $1,500 Short Deck No-Limit Hold'em Set to Start at Noon

OllieGarland

Today, the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas play host to Event #83: $1,500 Short Deck No-Limit Hold'em. While the 2023 World Series of Poker has been packed with mixed game variants, this event will not only be the first Short Deck event of the summer but will be an inaugural event for the WSOP.

As of 2019, the WSOP has made the $10,000 Short Deck No-Limit Hold’em event a constant fixture on the calendar. However, this year is the first of its kind as the WSOP is bringing a lower-stakes warm-up variant of the same format that will no doubt attract a new crowd of players.

Last year Shota Nakanishi took down Event #60: $10,000 Short Deck No-Limit Hold'em having bested a field of 110 entries to claim his career-first golden bracelet and $277,212. Most recently cashing in the 2023 World Series of Poker Main Event, Nakanishi will likely be registering today in an attempt claim another short deck win.

Other likely entrants include Jason Koon. While rising to success via the Cadillac of poker, Koon has gained recent fame as he is currently regarded as one of the best short deck players in the world. With twenty live cashes within this variant, Koon’s resume also boasts three short deck trophies and is likely to arrive today in an attempt to claim a fourth.

Short Deck Hold'em plays with a deck of 36 cards as all deuces to fives are removed. The ace plays as a high and low card, thus making a wheel from ace to nine is possible. Another significant difference to regular Hold'em is the rank of hand combinations, as a flush beats a full house.

There are also no blinds in this game — all players pay an ante every hand and the player on the button pays two times the ante. It is played six-handed, so the initial pot is seven times the ante.

The tournament is set to begin at 12 p.m. PDT and players will start with 25,000 chips on Level 1 with an ante of 100. They will play through 15 levels of 40 minutes on Day 1, which will increase to 60 minutes on Days 2 and 3. There is also a 60 minute dinner break scheduled at the end of Level 9, about 6:30 p.m.

Players who are eliminated during the registration period, which ends after Level 9 (about 7:45 p.m.), have the option to reenter up to two times.

Stay locked into PokerNews for all the updates on this event and everything else that happens at the 2023 World Series of Poker.
