Nível 39 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Under the gun, Jason Johnson opened to 2,400,000. However, even though he shares the same last name as his opponent, Charles Johnson in the small blind had no mercy for him and moved all in for 12,000,000 chips.

Jason Johnson thought about his decision for more than two minutes and called with a bigger stack.

Charles Johnson: A♠5♠
Jason Johnson: 7♦7♣

"Let's go, CJ!" shouted Charles Johnson's friends to help him. And the supporters were heard, as "CJ" hit two pairs on 5♥6♠A♣. But on the turn, a terrible 7♥ gave Jason Johnson a set, overpowering Charles Johnson's two pairs. The situation did not change on the river J♦.

"The seven on the turn," repeated a desperate "CJ" while leaving the area in sixth place for $70,247.

MaximeTaldir

Nível 38 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 500,000 ante

Straight after the elimination of Rosen, Dorian Melchers raised to 3,800,000 from under the gun, keeping only 2,500,000 chips in his stack. In the small blind, Richard Smith just called.

But when the dealer fanned a flop of A♣7♣3♠, Smith moved directly all-in to put pressure on Melchers. Quickly, the Frenchman called.

Dorian Melchers: K♣J♠
Richard Smith: A♠10♣

The turn Q♠ opened a straight draw for Melchers. But he didn't find a ten on the river 2♠. This last card led to Melchers' elimination in 7th place for $54,408.

Oren Rosen Eliminated in 8th Place ($42,445)

Nível 38 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 500,000 ante

After John Ciccarelli caught Qiang Xu bluffing on the first hand after the restart, Oren Rosen moved all in from under the gun for his last 4,050,000 chips. On the hijack, Christian Cheng went all in as well. And in the big blind, Richard Smith asked for the count, thought about it with A♠Q♦, but folded.

Oren Rosen: 10♠8♥
Christian Cheng: A♣J♠

In a very bad shape, Rosen hoped until the very last time. "And the ten on the river," he predicted after the flop 4♠5♥Q♥ and the turn 5♠. Unfortunately for him, the K♥ landed on the river.

First player eliminated from the final table, Rosen wins $42,445.

Nível 38 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 500,000 ante

As ten-time bracelet winner Phil Ivey competes in Day 2 of the $50,000 Poker Players Championship at the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP), another Poker Hall of Famer was looking for his eleventh piece of WSOP gold with a deep run in Event #41: $1,500 Big O.

Johnny Chan entered the third and final day of the Omaha event toward the bottom of the counts with 18 players remaining as the 1987 and 1988 Main Event champion hoped to finally break the three-way tie between himself, Ivey and the late Doyle Brunson in second place on the all-time bracelet list.

Sadly for poker fans sweating the $1,500 buy-in event, "The Master" was eliminated 14th place for $13,982 after a confrontation with Scott Abrams.
