Adam Owen Bags Day 1b Chip Lead of WSOP $10,000 Main Event

Nível 5 : 300/600, 600 ante

The curtains have drawn on another day at the Rio All-Suite and Hotel for the 2019 World Series of Poker. After another 12 hours plus of poker, Day 1b of the $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em MAIN EVENT - World Championship has come to an end with a little over 1,400 players advancing to Day 2ab. There were 1,915 entries recorded today, bringing the total number to 3,250 through the opening two flights.

When the players bagged up their chips at the end of the day, it appeared as though Adam Owen put the largest stack of 351,800 chips into his bag. Owen is mostly known for playing mixed games during the WSOP but he has also shown off his skills in the no-limit hold'em format as well. Owen quietly went about his business on Day 1b and vaulted into the chip lead midway through the last level.

Owen has over $3.2 million in career tournament earnings with nearly half of that mark coming from one tournament just a year ago. The English native binked his largest career score of over $1.6 million at the $10,300 partypoker MILLIONS Main Event in Barcelona last April. Owen has finished third on three separate occasions when competing for a WSOP gold bracelet and there is no other tournament that he would love to stand on top of the podium than this one.

Some other big stacks moving on from Day 1b include three-time bracelet winner Asi Moshe (330,200), Tyler Gaston (329,200), Brandon Frazier (298,400), and Galen Hall (295,700).

There were a few former WSOP Main Event champions to take to the felt today, including Joe Hachem who spent most of his day in the Thunderdome of the Amazon Room. Hachem bagged up 61,300 chips and just a few tables away, his son Daniel Hachem also found a bag with 144,700 chips. Daniel just started taking the game a little more seriously a couple of years ago and is looking to follow in his father's footsteps to claim poker glory.

Ryan Riess (89,300), Greg Merson (25,000), Chris Ferguson (36,100), and Greg Raymer (73,100) also took a seat at the felt today and they all advanced to Day 2ab. Ferguson captured the title back in 2000 and Raymer in 2004. The two younger guys earned their titles a decade later with Merson winning in 2012 and Riess in 2013.

Things got started with a bang in the Brasilia Room as Bas de Laat picked up aces versus kings in the very first hand of the day. Unfortunately for him, a poor runout on the board prevented him from stacking his opponent. The Dutchman continued to chip up throughout the day and will return to a stack of 84,900 chips.

Another highlight came when Michael Monicatti eliminated two players in back-to-back hands to take over the chip lead heading to the second break of the day. Monicatti was on the right side of a cooler when his pocket aces held up against his opponent's pocket kings with all of the chips in the middle preflop. In the very next hand, Monicatti flopped a straight against Xianjun Yin's straight and flush draw. Monicatti held on to eliminate Yin and built up a stack near 200,000 chips. He ended the day with a healthy stack of 130,500 chips for Day 2ab.

Scott Seiver nearly saw his tournament come to an end halfway through the day when he ran his pocket queens into Jiyoung Kim's pocket aces. Kim was looking to ride the momentum after capturing her first-ever WSOP gold bracelet earlier this summer in the Ladies Event, but the poker gods had other plans. The flop came queen-high to give Seiver a set and he held on to double up. The two players went in opposite directions for the rest of the day as Seiver bagged up over a starting stack while Kim finished with 20,800 chips.

A surprise to many saw Allen Kessler bag one of the largest stacks on the day. Kessler is often known as one of the biggest grinders on the circuit and looking for a min-cash. However, he had other plans for his opening day of the Main Event as he ran up a stack of 301,800 chips. The majority of his chips came in a sick cooler hand where Kessler flopped quad fours against his opponent's top boat. Heading into the last level of the night, Kessler held the current chip lead but plateaued out before the bagging process.

The day wasn't as successful for all of the notables to attend Day 1b as plenty of names hit the rail at a constant rate. Both Dan and Dillon Ott were eliminated along with Sean Winter, Dan Shak, Valentin Vornicu, Anthony Zinno, Cord Garcia, Xuan Liu, and Craig Varnell.

One player that a lot of fans had their eye on was 2017 final tablist, John Hesp. Decked out in his customized colorful outfit, Hesp was seated at the secondary feature table for his entire duration. Albeit his 2019 Main Event didn't last very long, Hesp no doubtedly made a lasting impression on each of his tablemates. Hesp eventually bowed out in the third level to Taylor Carroll who rivered a straight against Hesp's flush draw. A well-mannered Hesp shook everyone's hand and even gave a fist pump to the cameras.

Owen Vying for Chip Lead

Nível 5 : 300/600, 600 ante
Adam Owen
Adam Owen

Adam Owen joined Amazon at the beginning of Level 5. He arrived with almost 200,000 in front and in the last hour or so he has added chunks to his already impressive stack.

Just now he made a little more in a hand against Daniel Stanley. The two players were on a {5-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{5-Hearts} turn and Owen check-called a 5,000 bet. The river was the {6-Hearts} and Owen checked again, with Stanley checking it back. Owen turned over {k-Clubs}{5-Spades} for a full house and Stanley sent his cards into the muck.

Owen is in excellent shape to bag the chip lead when Day 1b concludes in 25 minutes.

Kessler Over 300k

Nível 5 : 300/600, 600 ante
Allen Kessler

On a board of {7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} with roughly 20,000 in the middle, the small blind and hijack checked to Allen Kessler who bet 8,000.

Both players called as the {k-Clubs} completed the board on the river and action checked through.

The small blind tabled his {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for ace-high, and once the hijack folded, Kessler tabled his {10-Spades}{7-Spades} for sevens and fours to scoop the pot and move over the 300,000-chip mark.

On the {k-Spades}{9-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop, Zekster continued for 5,100 and Vayo came along before calling a second barrel of 12,200 on the {4-Hearts} turn. The {10-Diamonds} on the river was checked by Zekster and Vayo checked behind.

Zekster turned over {a-Spades}{3-Spades} and Vayo won the pot with {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}.

Kessler's Quads Cooler Hwang

Nível 4 : 300/500, 500 ante
Allen Kessler
Allen Kessler

Allen Kessler, Fredric Hwang and another opponent went three ways to a {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop in a single-raised pot. The action checked through all three players, bringing the {3-Diamonds} on the turn.

The out-of-position third player bet 6,000, Hwang raised to 12,000, Kessler called, and the original bettor folded. The river brought a {3-Spades}, Hwang led for 15,000, and Kessler raised to 35,000. Hwang then shoved all in over the top for the last of his stack, and Kessler snap called.

It was the sickest of coolers for Hwang, who flopped top boat with {7-Spades}{7-Clubs} but saw the bad news when Kessler instantly tabled his {4-Clubs}{4-Spades} after calling. The hand sent Hwang to the rail, and made Kessler one of the top stacks in the field as Level 4 continues.

Harder Escapes From Elimination

Nível 4 : 300/500, 500 ante
Christian Harder
Christian Harder

Christian Harder over-limped and faced a raise to 3,000 of Gary Blackwood from one seat over. Parker Talbot on the button called and the initial limper came along. Harder then moved all in for 18,100 and picked up calls from Blackwood and Talbot.

On the {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop, Talbot bet 12,500 when check to him and the {j-Hearts} turn was checked. Blackwood then led the {4-Spades} river for 32,500. Talbot reluctantly folded and gasped a "fuck" when he saw a chop between the {a-Spades}{k-Clubs} of Blackwood and Harder’s {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}.

"I got one percent of you now, right?" Blackwood joked to Harder.

Ott Eliminated by Mossey

Nível 4 : 300/500, 500 ante
Dan Ott
Dan Ott

Dan Ott had last been spotted with a short stack and he has since vanished from the table, and Molly Mossey was kind enough to provide the details for the elimination.

According to Mossey, she raised from the button to 1,200 and Ott got his last 10,000 in from the big blind with the {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}. Mossey called with {a-Spades}{10-Spades} and the first four cards were all low. Ott had two live cards and could also chop with a possible straight on the board, but the river was a blank.

Scott Seiver & Jiyoung Kim
Scott Seiver & Jiyoung Kim

There was a raise to 1,200 from under the gun and Anson Tsang three-bet to 3,300 in middle position. Scott Seiver four-bet shoved all in for 21,700 in the cutoff. Jiyoung Kim, the recently crowned Ladies Event bracelet winner, just recently took her seat at the table. Kim asked for a count and then five-bet re -shoved all in. The rest of the table folded and the cards were tabled.

Jiyoung Kim: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Scott Seiver: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

The camera crews raced to the table to catch the action and the dealer spread the flop of {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}. Seiver spiked a two-outer to take the lead with his set of queens. The {8-Clubs} on the turn and the {3-Diamonds} on the river changed nothing as Seiver doubled up through Kim.
