Nível 11 : Limits 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

William McMahan had been the initial raiser from the button and by the time the board showed K♥9♥5♣3♣6♥, only big stack Zachary Freeman in the small blind was still in the mix. He bet and McMahan called but then mucked when he was shown the J♥8♠7♦7♥ for a flush and eight low by his table neighbour.

O'Connell Essentially Doubles

zedmaster84

Nível 11 : Limits 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Three ways to the 9♥5♠3♣ flop, the action checked to Bart O'Connell on the button and he bet for Jason Berilgen and Alex Livingston to call. The 3♦ turn paired the board and Berilgen checked, Livingston bet and O'Connell instantly raised with just 6,000 behind.

Berilgen folded while Livingston called and then checked the 8♠ river. O'Connell moved all-in and Livingston groaned. "I paired my emergency card," he said and mulled it over, agonising the massive pot odds. Eventually, he folded and mentioned in table chat he had ace-ace-eight. "I guess I have to call?", he added.

Their table broke soon after as the field dropped below 100 hopefuls.

Scotty Nguyen Recovering From Surgery, Will Miss First Half of WSOP

Nível 11 : Limits 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Five-time bracelet winner and 1998 Main Event Champion Scotty Nguyen will miss the first half of the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) as the Vietnamese-American poker icon recovers from surgery.
Nguyen, always a fan-favorite of WSOP, took to Twitter earlier this week to announce he was undergoing surgery for slipping rib syndrome, a condition that can cause severe chest pain in addition to "a slipping, clicking, or popping sensation in the lower chest," according to an article published in Psychopharmacology Bulletin.
But it's not all over, baby. Nguyen tweeted today to let his fans know that the surgery was a success and that he hopes to recover in time for the second half of the WSOP.

“I want to let you guys know the surgery (recovery) is going so well," Nguyen said in a video. "Right now, on both sides (it) is sore and swollen and I have trouble to get in and out of bed. But I have my wife, Julie, she (is) right there to help me sitting up or standing up.”
“I love all of you, baby. See you in the second half at the World Series in Vegas.”
