Event #90: $10,000 6-Handed No-Limit Hold'em Championship
Dia 1 Começado
With just several days left of the 2023 World Series of Poker, there is still one championship event yet to be played – the prestigious $10,000: 6-Handed No-Limit Hold’em Championship. Last year, Gregory Jensen overcame a stacked 394-player field to take down his first and only gold bracelet and the $824,649 first-place prize. We expect the field to be even larger this year, as has been the case in the majority of this year’s events.
The tournament is sure to attract some of the best No-Limit Hold'em players in the world and especially those who prefer the six-handed format, which generally equates to more hands being played and thus more action. Here's a look at some of the previous winners of the event:

Three ways on a 8♥9♥7♥ flop, Aleksei Istomin bet 600 from the small blind and Andrew Moreno folded from the big blind. Joseph Beasy called from under the gun.
Both players checked on the 9♣; however, Istomin fired 1,500 into the middle when the 7♦ completed the board.
Beasy called and Istomin said, "Straight flush draw" as he tabled J♥6♥ for a flopped flush. Beasy couldn't beat it and mucked — conceding the pot to Istomin.

Jeremy Ausmus opened to 500 from under the gun and then called after Daniel Reijmer three-bet to 1,800 from the cutoff.
The flop came 9♣8♦5♥ prompting Ausmus to check. Reijmer continued for 2,500 and received a call.
Both players checked through the J♣ turn to the 4♠ river at which point Ausmus checked once more. Reijmer, unwilling to go to a cheap showdown, pushed a hefty 8,500 into the middle. Ausmus thought for quite some time but ended up finding a call with 10♠10♥ to down the 6♦5♦ of Reijmer and scoop the pot.

Christoph Volgelsang opened to 500 from the hijack and was called by Thomas Boivin in the small blind and the player in the big blind.
Action checked to Vogelsang on the 3♣J♣A♦ flop and he continued for 600. Only Boivin called.
Boivin check-called a 1,900 bet from Vogelsang on the 2♣ turn and then check-raised a 5,300 bet from Vogelsang to 20,000 on the 6♠ river.
Vogelsang tanked for some time, but eventually opted to lay his hand down — sending the pot to Boivin.

Jonathan Little opened to 600 from under the gun and was called by a player on the button as well as Ran Ilani in the big blind.
Action checked through the 9♥3♥A♣ flop to the 4♣ turn at which point Ilani checked for a second time. Little fired a delayed continuation of 2,000, getting a quick fold from the button. Ilani responded with a raise to 7,000 and, after some thought, Little called.
Ilani bet again once the 8♠ river completed the board, this time making it a hefty 12,000 to call. Little wasted no time tossing in a chip but mucked after Ilani tabled 5♣2♣ for the wheel. "Come on, what a turn" lamented Little as he saw a large pot shipped to his opponent.
