Nível 28 : 120,000/240,000, 0 ante

A-5 Triple Draw

Chad Eveslage opened from under the gun and Patrick Moulder called off from the small blind for his last 90,000.

Smith drew four, then two, then one. Eveslage drew two, then one, then stood pat.

Matthew Smith: 6x5x3x2x All in
Chad Eveslage: 9x7x3x2xAx

Eveslage had stood pat with a nine-seven but Smith caught a 9x himself to make a nine-six and score a full double up.

Badugi

Two hands later, Patrick Moulder opened from under the gun and Smith three-bet from the hijack, leaving just 30,000 behind. Moulder made the call and drew two while Smith stood pat.

Moulder bet again after the first draw and Smith called off for the rest of his chips, standing pat again while Moulder took another two.

For the final draw Moulder took two more while Smith once again stood pat.

Matthew Smith: 6♠5♥3♦A♣ All in
Patrick Moulder: 4♥3♣

Smith had a monster with his six-badugi and Moulder would need to catch a near-perfect runout to score the knockout. Moulder first drew a 2♠ meaning he was live to win the pot should he catch a diamond ace, five or six. He caught a 9♦ for his last card making an inferior nine-badugi as Smith scored another full double up.

Nível 27 : Limits 100,000/200,000, 0 ante

The 2024 $25K Fantasy league attracted 19 entrants, which means a $475,000 prize pool is up for grabs. The top four teams will get paid with $225,000 going to the winner. The runner-up team will receive a $125,000 consolation prize, while the third and fourth-place teams will earn $75,000 and $50,000 respectively.

Midway through the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP), the Joao Peres of Team Sternheimer has been the top performer amassing 224 points thanks in no small part to hitting two field bonuses in massive no-limit hold’em tournaments. From there, Jeremy Ausmus’s strong year has earned Team Noori 199 points, while Benny Glaser has earned 187 points for the aforementioned Team Sternheimer.

Other strong performers thus far include John Racener (181 points for Team The Dinkers), Scott Seiver (180 points for Team AJ’s Eagles), Calvin Anderson (179 points for Team Sepiol), Chance Kornuth (170 points for Team Livingston), and Adam Hendrix (164 points for Team Wilson).

Team The Dinkers (Josh Kay) had a long reign atop the leaderboard until this weekend when Team Sternheimer (Philip Sternheimer) took the lead thanks to big scores from Benny Glaser (5th in Event #45: $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. Championship for 61 points), Joao Peres (88 points for finishing 22nd in Event #38: $1,500 Monster Stack), and Chris Vitch (72 points for winning Event #48: $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha for his third career gold bracelet).

Team Sternheimer

Joao Simao Peres	$8.00	224	4%	30.03%

Danny Tang	$9.00	0	4.5%	0%

Josh Kay & the Florida crew have a strong team.

Additionally, David Coleman has continued his strong year earning 47 points for finishing fourth in Event #31: $3,000 NLH 6-Handed.
