A player in early position raised to 1,500 and Kristina Holst called from his direct left in middle position. The player on Holst's direct left, Bryan Zuriff, three-bet to 4,000 from the hijack and the original raiser folded before Holst put in chips to call.
The flop came and Holst check-called Zuriff's continuation-bet of 4,000. Both players checked the turn. The river came and Holst bet 14,500. The dealer fanned out the chips to make the bet clearly visible and upon doing so, Zuriff quickly announced a call.
Holst showed for a full house, tens full of jacks, and took down the pot as Zuriff mucked his hand.
Michael Jordan, John Elway, Shane Warne. All regarded as one of the best sportsmen of their generation depending on which country you're from.
The sport of cricket isn't popular in the United States, but nearly everywhere else in the world, cricket has a religion-like status. From the 1990's to late 2000's, Warne was at the top of the game wielding an arsenal of trick deliveries that baffled batsman on cricket pitches all around the world.
As Warne's cricketing career slowed down, his poker career began to pick up. Warne has been a mainstay at both his local casino in Melbourne, Australia, and the WSOP each year.
Always trekking out to play the Main Event, his appearance in the field today was a short lived one as he was just eliminated by David Lolis.
Lolis detailed that he opened with a raise holding and both a player in late position, and Warne called to see a flop.
Lolis continued with a bet of 3,100 and the player in the middle raised to 11,000. Warne called, and Lolis responded by moving all in having both players covered. The raiser folded, but Warne called all in holding .
The turn and river bricked out with the and , and Warne was eliminated here on Day 1a, while Lolis soared up the leaderboard to contend with the chip leaders.
Igor Grytsak and Jim Carroll were in a hand on the river, with on the board. Grytsak was the first to act and he put 13,000 over the line. Carroll raised it up, putting 28,000 in, leaving just a few thousand behind. Grytsak looked uncomfortable whilst he gave it some thought. After a minute or so he said "I think you have it" and folded, at which point Carroll showed him for a flopped set. "Nice hand" said Grytsak who is now back to where he started.
