Event #58: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Dia 1 | 2017 World Series of Poker

2017-07-01 00:46 UTC-7

Day 1 Has Concluded and Martin Kabrhel Leads the Way

Nível 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

A total of 1,763 hopefuls filtered through the Amazon room today for Day 1 of Event #58: $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em at the 2017 World Series of Poker inside the Rio All-Suites Hotel & Casino.

After ten 60-minute levels, just 269 players remain fighting for a $395,918 first place prize and the WSOP gold bracelet. Only the top 265 will leave with a piece of the $2,380,050 prize pool, meaning four players will not make the money coming back on Day 2.

The chip leader on Day 1 was Martin Kabrhel, building up an impressive stack of 235,000. Kabrhel hails from the Czech Republic and has 16 WSOP cashes to go along with two circuit rings, totaling $298,131. Kabrhel has already cashed three times this year at the WSOP and looks to add to that total with a big result in this event.

Following behind Kabrhel are Artur Rudziankov (173,400), Andreas Christoforou (152,000), Felipe Leme (145,200) and Ricardo Hernandez (136,900).

Notables also moving on to Day 2 include Kenny Hallaert, Chance Kornuth, Asi Moshe, Phil Laak and Andre Akkari

Some of the notables that took a shot on Day 1 and didn't make it were Craigh Varnell, James Woods, Kristen Bicknell, Allen Cunningham, Dominik Nitsche, Phil Hellmuth, and Paul Wasicka.

Day 2 will kick off at noon on Saturday, July 1. Ten and a half 60-minute levels are on the schedule for Day 2 and the money bubble will be looming right out of the gate as they are four away from getting paid. Blinds will be 600/1,200 with a 200 ante.

Cannon Cannons at Cada

Nível 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Joe Cada has been steadily chipping up throughout the day. The two-time WSOP bracelet winner doesn't get bluffed often, but we just witnessed one occurrence of it.

A player under the gun raised to 1,800. Cada was in the small blind and called. Guy Cannon was in the big blind and announced a raise to 5,000. The original raiser called and Cada called.

The flop was and Cada checked. Cannon fired out a bet of 5,500. The under the gun player tanked for a minute or two and then folded. Cada took about ten seconds and then asked his opponent, "Will you show?" He didn't get a response. Again, "Will you show if I show?" and Cannon responded, "Show me first."

Cada obliged, flashing pocket jacks and folding. Cannon, a man of his word, showed the table pocket nines. A proud moment for sure for the Fountain Hills, Arizona resident.

Straight Flush

Nível 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

George Dimitriadis was in the blinds and got his remaining 3,725 in the middle. There were four players that appeared to have called an open-raise in early position of 1,000. The initial raiser called and Dimitriadis and all other players folded.

Dimitriadis:
Opponent:

Dimitriadis needed a lot of help if he was going to survive. The flop did just that when the hit the board. The turn was the , putting a bit of a sweat out there with the possible full houses that could beat Dimitriadis. The river was flipped over and the completed things and Dimitriadis didn't just win the hand with a flush, but made a straight flush to the ten to save his tournament life. How's that for a story to tell your friends?! Dimitriadis will remember this one for a long time.
