Nível 10 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Mikita Badziakouski put out a turn bet of 500,000 from the small blind on a board that read 6♠3♦3♥9♠, with Phil Ivey making the call a short time after.

Badziakouski then committed his remaining chips in the form of an all-in on the K♣ river and was quickly called by Ivey.

Mikita Badziakouski: A♣A♠
Phil Ivey: 6♦6♥

Badziakouski would see the bad news as Ivey's full house sent his pocket aces down in flames, along with his tournament hopes.

Nível 10 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Artur Martirosian raised it up in the cutoff and Espen Jorstad three-bet to 350,000 from the big blind. Martirosian four-bet shoved all in as the big stack and Jorstad quickly called off his stack of 2,085,000.

Espen Jorstad: A♠K♥
Artur Martirosian: J♣J♦

It was a coin flip and the flop of 7♠4♠2♣ favored Martirosian with the jacks. The Q♦ on the turn changed nothing but the K♠ on the river gave Jorstad a pair of kings to double through Martirosian.

Nível 10 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Artur Martirosian put out a river bet of 2,500,000 on a board reading K♥6♠7♣10♣6♦, enough to put Nick Schulman all-in. Schulman would go deep in the tank, using a total of five time banks before ultimately deciding to make the call.

Nick Schulman: A♣6♣
Artur Martirosian: 7♠7♥

Unfortunately, it was a cooler for Schulman, as he would run his trip sixes into the full house of Martirosian, sending him home for the day.

Nível 10 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Talal Shakerchi raised it up in early position and was called by Bryn Kenney in the cutoff and Phil Ivey in the big blind. The flop came 7♥4♣4♦ and the action checked around to the 3♦ on the turn.

The action checked to Kenney again who flicked in a bet of 135,000. Ivey check-raised to 350,000 and Shakerchi folded but Kenney still called. The river was the 3♥ and Ivey checked again. Kenney threw in a bet of 425,000 and Ivey looked him up.

Kenney showed Q♦J♦ for a missed flush draw while Ivey held A♥5♠ for just ace-high to win the pot.

Nível 10 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Michael Moncek was short on chips when he won a small double-up through Chance Kornuth with 6♣2♠ against Kornuth's A♦K♥ on 6♥5♥J♦3♣9♦.

The very next hand Brian Kim raised to 90,000 on the button and Moncek moved all-in from the big blind, with Kim making a quick call.

Michael Moncek: 10♦9♦
Brian Kim: Q♥9♠

The final board ran out 5♠6♣8♣J♥3♥, providing no additional help to Moncek and sending him to the rail.

Fresh off his victory in Event #23: $50,000 High Roller last week here at the WSOP, Leon Sturm sat down and immediately got involved in a hand with long-time pro, Isaac Haxton.

Haxton raised to 70,000 from early position and Sturm called behind. Both players would then check down a board of A♥5♦9♠10♦5♥, with Haxton showing K♣9♣ for two pair, nines and fives, but Sturm turned over two red jacks J♦J♥ for a higher two pair, jacks and fives.

Nível 9 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

A completed board of A♥4♠2♠8♠8♥ was spread across the table with around 300,000 in the middle. It looked to be an innocent pot until some crazy and odd action broke out on the river.

Jeremy Ausmus led out with a bet of 100,000 from the big blind and Chris Hunichen raised to 400,000 on the button. Ausmus clicked it back, raising just over the minimum to 710,000 and leaving just a small amount of chips behind.

Hunichen went into the tank as he tried to solve the problem in his head. After nearly three minutes and five time banks, Hunichen finally laid his hand down and the pot was shipped to Ausmus.

Jennifer Harman Remembers Doyle: "He Was Like a Marshmallow Puppy Dog to Me"

Nível 9 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Poker Hall of Famer Jennifer Harman has seen the World Series of Poker (WSOP) in all of its iterations. Harman won two bracelets when the World Series played at Binion's Horseshoe in downtown Las Vegas and made several final tables after the transition to Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in the mid-2000s.

Now, 27 years after her first WSOP final table in 1996, Harman finds herself at yet another World Series rendition at the rebranded Horseshoe Casino on the Strip. And while the golden U-shaped emblem outside the hotel is by and large the same, Harman said the modern venue doesn't compare to the WSOP's original home.

"It was such a cool atmosphere playing at Binion's; it's just nothing like that," Harman told PokerNews. "Now it's just like, you know, poker blew up and it's more ... it's still a really cool atmosphere, but it's just different. It's not a small room, musty, that kind of stuff. But it's still really cool. Poker's still really popular, so that's a pretty awesome thing."

PokerNews caught up with Harman last week as she played Day 1 of Event #25: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship at the 2023 WSOP to ask about her summer schedule, pick for the Poker Hall of Fame and her memories with the late Doyle Brunson.
