Nível 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Two short stacks collided when Benjamin Voreland and Ryan Coon put all their chips in preflop. Coon doubled early in the day to carry him this far and was at risk again, hours later.

Ryan Coon: K♥K♣J♣10♣
Benjamin Voreland: A♦9♦6♠5♦

Coon winced at the A♥ on the window but it dissipated as the Q♣J♦ rolled off behind it, flopping him broadway. Always a sweat, the turn was the A♠, giving Voreland 11 outs going into the river. The river was the 3♠ and Coon's stack soared, stinging Voreland's.

Phil Galfond Offers Poker Hall of Fame Pick; Says Two Should Be Inducted Per Year

Nível 32 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Phil Galfond has yet to make an appearance at the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP), and as he told PokerNews, right now he has no plans to play live.

“But who knows, plans change,” added Galfond, who has been playing online at WSOP.com.

While Galfond hasn’t been at the WSOP – well, at least Phil as his wife, Farah Galfond, has been competing – the three-time bracelet winner is still weighing in by his relatively new newsletter “PG’s Takes of the Week.”

One of the topics the online poker legend, who prior to the WSOP inserted himself in some drama involving Doug Polk and Charlie Carrel with a pointed letter, was that of the Poker Hall of Fame. Right now, the public is being solicited for nomination.

“The nominations for the Poker Hall of Fame are now open, presenting voters with a familiar dilemma: there are simply too many great options to choose from,” Galfond wrote before giving his picks.
