Adam Friedman, Faraz Jaka and Yuri Dzivielevski Among the Final Ten in Event #85: $1,500 Shootout
Nível 32
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Day 2 of Event #85: $1,500 Shootout at the 2023 World Series of Poker at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas played down to the final ten players from 100 at the start of the day. Each remaining player once again beat the nine other players at their table to advance to the final round.
Those returning are guaranteed a cash prize of at least $19,003, but only one of them will prevail to win the coveted World Series of Poker gold bracelet and the $237,367 first-place prize.
The line-up for the final table looks promising, with plenty of familiar faces. Five-time WSOP bracelet winner Adam Friedman (2,500,000) was the first player to punch his ticket to the final table. He'll be joined by fellow multi-time bracelet winner Yuri Dzivielevski (2,415,000), who is looking to add a fourth bracelet to his collection. Popular coach Faraz Jaka (2,450,000) also navigated his way to Day 3, where he will be seeking his first taste of WSOP glory.
Ukrainian player Olga Iermolcheva (2,450,000) also advanced to the final table and will be a fierce competitor, as well as Edward Mroczkowski, who cashed in four events this series, including a 738th place in the Main Event. Ao Chen (2,453,000), French player Matteo Cavelier (2,420,000), Brazilian Allan Mello (2,420,000) and Mo Zhou (2,500,000) will also be back tomorrow to battle for the first WSOP bracelet of their career.
The last player to secure his seat at the final table was Michael Finstein (2,415,000) who defeated Aleksandr Gofman after more than seven hours of play. It will be Einstein's second WSOP final table as he finished in 7th place of the $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em event in 2018.

The Chad & Jesse Poker Show - Poker Vlogger Ryan Depaulo is Latest Guest
Nível 31
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
On the latest episode, Jesse Fullen and special co-host Norman Chad continue The Chad & Jesse Poker Show straight from the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP).
The two start by debating the pros and cons of the 2023 WSOP Main Event payouts before welcoming this week’s guest – poker vlogger Ryan Depaulo.
Among the topics they discuss with the Whole Foods parking lot bracelet winner are his biggest score to date (third place in the Colossus), what his father told him (“Don’t punt”), and Joey the Mush. Plus, they ask if he was banned from Borgata for vlogging, his main poker influence, and whether or not he’s a withered pro.
Norman Chad and Jesse then do a new "Calling the Clock" segment in which they offer quick two-minute dialogues for topics on “The Board.”
Back and Fourth between Gofman and Finstein
Nível 31
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
On the first pot, Aleksandr Gofman completed and Michael Finstein checked his option. The flop gave 2♥5♠K♦ and Finstein check-called for 40,000.
The duo checked on the 10♣ turn and 2♠ river and Finstein tabled Q♦9♠, which was enough to make Gofman muck his cards.
Two hands later, the flop showed A♥6♣4♥ when Finstein check-called Gofman for 40,000.
Both checked on the 7♠ turn and a 3♦ came on the river. After another check from Finstein, Gofman bet 160,000 and Finstein tanked for two minutes before folding.
