A player jammed from middle positon for 41,000 and Bruce Olson dropped a chip across the line on the button to make the call before the blinds got out of the way.
All-in Player: A♠4♠
Bruce Olson: 10♥10♠
Olson was able to fade the one over of his opponent as the board ran out Q♦9♦6♠J♥7♥, eliminating his opponent from the tournament.
Quinn Slattman was seen scooping a pot worth over half a million on a board that read AxQxAxJx7x, just as the dealer was scooping up the cards.
When asked how she won, Slattman said that a player two seats to her right had made it 10,000, the player to his left went all in, Slattman went all in, and after some consideration, the initial raiser called.
Slattman had pocket tens, the initial raiser had pocket nines, and the player in between had pocket fives. The best hand held and all Slattman had to say was, "I got lucky!".
Alexander Cole-Gardner was also seen with a big stack in the field. Gardner recently got 3rd place in the PacWest poker classic for $36,576 and is looking to parlay some of that run good here at the 2023 WSOP.
Chris Da-Silva called the shove from a short-stacked Andy Chan just after the dinner break.
Andy Chan: J♣10♣
Chris Da-Silva: 7♥7♣
Chan was thrilled to see he wasn't dominated and even more please when the dealer put out the J♦9♦Q♠, giving him a pair of jacks and a straight draw to pull ahead of Da-Silva.
The turn was a 2♦ and the river was an A♥, Taking a small dent out of Da-Silva's stack, as he was unable to catch a seven.
This hand was relayed to PokerNews collectively by Table #572:
Five ways to a flop, in what was somehow a three-bet pot, all players saw a board of 3x4♦5♦. It checked to Art Peacock, who had cold-called preflop, and he went all in for about 130,000, well over betting the pot. Jesus Martinez called for less and all the players in between folded.
Martinez was ahead of Peacock's air with his pair of fives and wheel draw, but they both had a good laugh when the 6♦, and 2♦ rolled off the deck to put a straight on the board, causing them to chop.
Two of the players who folded the flop bemoaned the situation, as one of them would have turned the second nut flush, and the other would have rivered the nut flush but they were priced out by the action.
