Nível 5 : 300/600, 600 ante

There was about 17,000 on the and Jimmy D'Ambrosio bet 8,000. Nate Corbin called.

"You're gonna try to fight for it I see that," said D'Ambrosio.

The turn brought the and D'Ambrosio started with the talk again.

"Oh I gotta check the s*** out of that," he said.

Corbin checked back.

"Oh no," said D'Ambrosio. "Don't check that."

"You didn't want me to?" said Corbin.

"No I didn't want you to," said D'Ambrosio.

The river was the and the action was D'Ambrosio.

"I'm trying to figure out how to get the rest of your chips," he said. "This is gonna be a thin value bet."

He bet 600 and the table laughed at the small sizing.

"You should pile it in," said D'Ambrosio. "Send it, send it."

"Hi mom," Scotty Smith interjected, catching a glance of the PokerNews live reporting team.

Corbin just called the 600 and D'Ambrosio showed for king-high and a busted flush draw. While Corbin tabled ace-high to win the pot.

"I needed you to raise so I could pile it in," said D'Ambrosio.

He still sits among the leaders late in the night, while Smith got his shoutout to his mom back home.

Lotti, Club GG Qualifier, Sniffs Out the Bluff

NicholasBaltz

Nível 5 : 300/600, 600 ante

There was about 7,000 in on the river when Romain Lotti bet 5,000.

His opponent in the cutoff took some time before raising to 11,000 and Lotti tanked.

After about a minute, Lotti seemed to begrudgingly toss in a call, as if to say, "If you got it, you got it."

The cutoff showed queen-high and Lotti turned over for jacks and tens, and the winner.

Lotti qualified for this tournament through Club GG. Learn more about ClubGG here

Wesley Fei Bags Big on Day 1a of the 2022 WSOP Main Event in His First Ever Tournament

dsalituro

Nível 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

A few minutes before 11 a.m local time, the doors to the Bally’s ballroom swung open, the throng poured in, and it seemed like Christmas morning for every poker player.

The start of the $10,000 Main Event is the biggest day on the poker calendar as defending champion Koray Aldemir did the ceremonial “Shuffle Up and Deal.” Aldemir’s run at a repeat performance will have to wait as he did not enter this flight, but 900 players did take to the felt today on Day 1a to chase their dreams of World Series of Poker glory and the title of world champion.

Leading the way after five two-hour levels is Cedrric Trevino. The man behind the vlog “Poker Traveler” hit a set of kings on the river to crack pocket aces and knock out a player on his way to bagging 317,800.

Right behind him is Wesley Fei. The cryptocurrency investor and Hustler Live cash game regular only started playing poker six months ago. The Main Event is his first-ever tournament. He won a big pot with kings against ace-queen to approach 200,000 chips, finishing the night with 300,000.

“I feel good. First time playing a tournament,” Fei said at the end of the night. “This tournament is almost like a cash game. I’m happy with deep stacks.”

2022 WSOP Main Event Day 1a Top 10 Chip Counts

RANK	PLAYER	Country	CHIP COUNT	Big Blinds
1	Cedrric Trevino	United States	317,800	397
2	Wesley Fei	China	300,000	375
3	Suhaag Gandikota	United States	269,700	337
4	Chanracy Khun	Canada	267,800	335
5	Thomas Eychenne	France	255,800	320
6	Andrew Moreno	United States	238,200	298
7	Yusef Yusufov	United States	230,000	288
8	Wendy Bowers	United States	219,400	274
9	Kenneth O'Donnell	United States	217,600	272
10	Jimmy D'Ambrosio	United States	213,500	267

A total of 631 players made it through the day. Ryan Depaulo knocked out two players, one with a set of sixes against pocket kings and the other by rivering a straight with jack-ten to crack a set of nines. The bracelet winner finished the night with 188,800. Others who made it through to Day 2 include past Main Event champions Ryan Riess (139,900), Qui Nguyen (74,000), John Cynn (65,000), and Martin Jacobson (64,300), in addition to Thomas Eychenne (255,800), Andrew Moreno (238,200), Jimmy D’Ambrosio (213,000), two-time “Last Woman Standing” Kelly Minkin (204,700), and Kevin Gerhart (149,900).

Joshua Remitio at the 2021 WSOP Main Event final table

One player who is no stranger to Main Event success is Josh Remitio, who rode the strength of his boisterous rail a year ago all the way to a fourth-place finish. Remitio took to the felt today for another run and ended up with 145,500.

“It feels good. I've bricked every tournament so far this series. This just kinda feels like my event though,” Remitio said about being back on the Main Event stage. “Following (last year’s) Main Event I studied a lot more but yeah, pretty much taking the same approach.”

The Main Event dream ended early for others. Reigning Player of the Year Josh Arieh ran into a cooler with a rivered flush against D’Ambrosio’s full house and busted shortly after. Johnnie “Vibes” Moreno, Ana Marquez, $100,000 High Roller champion Aleksejs Ponakovs, and Japanese vlogging superstar Masato Yokosawa also hit the rail on Day 1a.

The players who survived the day will return on July 7 for Day 2ab. Stay tuned to PokerNews as another group of Main Event hopefuls gets their turn on July 4 on Day 1b at 11 a.m.
