Chino Rheem Tops the Record-Breaking $800 No-Limit Hold'em Deepstack

Nível 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Chino Rheem has secured his third cash of the 2023 World Series of Poker at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas in this year’s World Series of Poker Event #42: $800 No-Limit Hold'em Deepstack, but with a stack of 2,450,000 he will be looking to make his deepest run of the year in the concluding action on Day 2, and perhaps secure that elusive first bracelet. Rheem has racked up those chips in his usual brash, fun-loving, aggressive style, while navigating a field of 3,778 that shattered last year’s field of 2,812.

That record-breaking field generated a prize pool of $2,659,712, of which first place will receive $339,033. All of the remaining 238 players will receive at least $1,977.

Big Pot With Aces For Margets

MaximeTaldir

Nível 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

A player in the hijack position opened to 9,000, and everybody folded to 2021's WSOP bracelet winner Leo Margets in the big blind. She took a few seconds and raised to 32,000, and her opponent called.

On a J♦6♥10♣ flop, she continued betting 27,000. Not enough to scare the hijack, who called once more.

Another Jack appeared on the turn J♠, where Margets moved all in. The hijack player called for his last 55,000 chips.

Leo Margets: A♥A♣
Opponent: 8♠7♣

Margets just had to avoid a nine to claim the pot. But it was the 10♠ that hit the river, eliminating the hijack player and leaving Margets with 285,000 chips.
