2023 World Series of Poker
There are 20 players remaining in the $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em (6-Handed), and they are on a break for 15 minutes.
When they come back, they'll play until two players are eliminated before the three-table redraw.
Action was picked up on the river. The board read 2♦2♠9♦J♦5♣, players were heads up and there was about 1,200,000 in the middle. William Stanford bet 615,000 from early position putting Tyler Cornell into the tank.
Eventually Cornell called and received the bad news when Stanford tabled K♦K♠ for the winner.
"Nice Hand" Cornell told his opponent as Stanford scooped a chunky pot.
Chuanshu Chen was in the cutoff when he raised to 100,000. In the small blind, Martin Finger decided to go all in. The big blind folded, and Chen asked for the count. When the dealer said "475,000", Chen called.
Martin Finger: A♦10♥
Chuanshu Chen: Q♦7♦
Finger wasn't very happy when he saw Chen's hand. But he's been reassured by the board 2♦A♣2♠7♥10♣, that gave him a pair of aces on the flop.
Ian Matakis opened to 100,000 and Martin Finger defended his big blind.
Both players checked the K♥10♠2♠ flop. On the K♦ turn Finger check-called a 225,000 bet from Matakis.
The river was the Q♠. Finger checked and Matakis bet 360,000, sending Finger deep into the tank.
After about two minutes Finger made the call. Matakis tabled K♠9♦ for trip kings to take down a healthy pot.
Action was caught when Naoki Matsumoto and Pedro Garagnani had already flipped their cards, with Matsumoto at risk with only a few blinds.
Naoki Matsumoto: 10♥8♥
Pedro Garagnani: A♠J♥
Matsumoto really had a chance to hit a ten, an eight, or hearts to keep him in the tournament. But on 6♦3♦5♦3♣7♥, nothing helped him, and he left the area.
Chunshu Chen opened to 125,000 and Martin Finger defended from the big blind.
The flop came 10♥8♦6♦ and Finger moved all in for about 385,000, forcing a fold from Chen.

On the latest The Chad & Jesse Poker Show straight from the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP), Chad Holloway and Jesse Fullen welcome renowned Japanese vlogger Masato Yokosawa, AKA “World Wide Yokosawa.”
While players in the United States might think folks like Brad Owen and Andrew Neeme has the biggest vlog followings in the world, that distinction actually belongs to Masato, who regularly clears 600K views on each of his vlogs!
The Japanese vlogging sensation opens up about his start in poker, what inspired him to start a vlog, and how he’s managed to turn it into a smashing success with the help of a creative team. He also talks about his desire to win a WSOP gold bracelet, how Daniel Negreanu and Phil Hellmuth are perceived in his home country, and what the future looks like for poker in Japan.
Chad and Jesse then do a new "Calling the Clock" segment in which they offer quick two-minute dialogues for topics on “The Board.”
From the cutoff, Georgios Sotiropoulos opened, and in the big blind, Omar Lakhdari raised all in for approximately 800,000 chips. Sotiropoulos called.
Omar Lakhdari: K♦J♦
Georgios Sotiropoulos: 9♦9♠
On his way to the prestigious WSOP bracelet, Lakhdari was stopped by this flip. Even though he had a flush draw on the flop 4♦Q♦4♣, no more diamonds came on the turn 6♠ or the river 4♥.
Tyler Cornell opened to 80,000 from under the gun and Omar Lakhdari three-bet to 300,000. Benjamin Teng moved all in for approximately 800,000. Cornell got out of the way and Lakhdari quickly made the call to put Teng at risk.
Benjamin Teng: A♣A♥
Omar Lakhdari: Q♠Q♦
The board ran out 6♣10♣8♥A♦10♦ giving Teng a full house to collect a key double up.
