Nível 17 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Six players saw a flop of 10♠7♣2♣ when Brian Orrico bet from the hijack, Ryan Leng folded the cutoff, and John Ho called on the button. Sergey Zaporozhets got out of the way from the small blind, but big blind James Obst and Jason Remshardt under the gun also called.

The turn came the 4♦ and Orrico bet again, with Ho and Remshardt calling and Obst folding.

Orrico put out another bet on the J♥ and both remaining opponents called. Orrico turned over 7♦7♠ for a set to earn the high pot, while Ho had A♠3♥ to win the low.

On a board reading K♦8♥Q♠J♠K♠ with around 40,000 in the pot, Scott Fitzhugh was first to act and bet out into William Kopp.

Kopp thought it over, tanking briefly before tossing in a call to see Fitzhugh turn up the A♠K♥5♠2♥ for a flopped nut flush.

Kopp mucked his cards and Fitzhugh was awarded the pot.

Nível 17 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

On a board of 4♣J♦A♠, Joseph Hoffman bet out into Andrew Kerstine only to see Kerstine come back with a raise of his own.

Hoffman put in the flop three-bet before Kerstine called to see the A♣ turn card. Hoffman bet, putting himself all in and was called by Kerstine.

Joseph Hoffman: 5♣4♠4♥2♣
Andrew Kerstine: A♦10♥7♥3♦

The river came the 7♠, chopping the pot with Hoffman taking the low and Kerstine's hand good for the high.

Elsewhere in the room, Ronald Halperin has asked that we made a special mention of how dearly he misses his daughter while here at the 2023 World Series of Poker.

With how much of a family the poker community is, it's easy to forget that many of us take time away from our families to chase the poker dream in the desert for seven weeks each summer.

Mike Matusow bet from middle position on a flop of J♥J♣4♦ and was called by Craig Fishman in early position.

The turn came the 5♠ and Matusow bet his last chips. Fishman called to put him at risk.

"One time," Matusow said as he turned over J♦5♦10♦A♦ for a full house. Fishman was on a low draw holding 8♦2♦K♣A♥.

The river came the 10♥ and Fishman missed his low as Matusow gave a fist pump as he doubled up.

Matthew Jimerson and Tomomitsu Ono were heads-up on a board of K♠9♥2♠10♥ when Ono bet from the hijack.

Jimerson put in a raise in the big blind as action went back on Ono, who tanked for a moment before reraising. Jimerson quickly gave up his hand as the man known as "the elevator" dropped down to 35,000 from the 106,500 he began the day with.

The next hand at this table, Tom McCormick raised from under the gun, then called when Arne Pederson reraised.

The flop came J♣10♦8♣ and McCormick check-called a bet. McCormick led out on the Q♠ turn, Pederson raised, and McCormick called all in.

"Nuts," McCormick said, turning over A♦K♠ for the straight. Pederson had A♠Q♦A♣Q♥ for a set as the A♥ river wasn't enough for him to take out McCormick.

Stanislav Ivanov raised from the cutoff and was called by Shaun Deeb on the button and big blind Zachary Hatcher.

The flop came 2♠J♠7♠ and Ivanov continued with a bet. Both Deeb and Hatcher called to the 6♥ turn, where Ivanov bet again.

Only Hatcher called this time, and he called another bet on the Q♦ river.

Ivanov turned over A♣Q♥3♠Q♣ for a set and a low to scoop the pot.

Deeb has been running back and forth between this event and another taking place in a different section of the room.
