Action was picked up on the turn with the board showing 5?6?3?6?. Elia Ahmadian made a bet and Daniel Strelitz called to go to the river which came the 10?.
Ahmadian fired 575,000. Strelitz took a bit before moving all in to make Ahmadian decide for his remaining stack of about 750,000.
Ahmadian took his time and eventually the clock was called. As the 30 second countdown began, he called.
Elia Ahmadian: K?10?
Daniel Strelitz: A?10?
Strelitz tabled the nut flush hammer to knock Ahmadian out the tournament in 12th.
On a board of J?2?6?3?8? there were around 750,000 chips in the pot when Aaron Pinson bet 1,300,000 on the river, leaving himself just 45,000 chips behind. Richard Dixon was the man facing the bet and after a considerable amount of time in the tank, he eventually folded.
"I turned my jack into a bluff" remarked Pinson before he tabled J?7?.
Daniel Strelitz raised from the cutoff. Matthew Rosen three-bet from the small blind, Strelitz jammed and Rosen called it off.
Matthew Rosen: A?J?
Daniel Strelitz: A?K?
Strelitz had a great chance to continue his hot start to the day as the flop came Q?10?2? to make Rosen root for a king. The turn was the 6? and the river the A? to send him away.
Daniel Sepiol raised to 120,000 from the cutoff. Vitor Dzivielevski three-bet to 400,000 form the button. Sepiol took a little bit of time before jamming all in, Dzivielevski called.
Vitor Dzivielevski: 10?10?
Daniel Sepiol: A?8?
The flop sent Sepiol ahead as it came 3?7?A?. The turn was the 4? and the river came the 8? to end the day for Dzivielevski as he packed up the Brazilian flag that was adorned on the rail behind him as he departed.
Richard Dixon opened from the button and both Darius Samual & James Davidson called from the blinds.
They saw a flop of 2?7?Q? which was checked through to the 2? turn. Samual led out for 130,000. Davidson folded, Dixon raised to 280,000, and Samuel folded.
In the 835th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway is joined by poker pros Shaun Deeb and Josh Arieh, who fill in as special co-hosts at Level 9 in Las Vegas where the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) is happening now!
Hear about how Fortnite helped them form Team Lucky alongside Matt Glantz and reigning WSOP Main Event champ Daniel Weinman, Arieh's Poker Stake venture, and their thoughts on the Poker Hall of Fame, including Scott Seiver's chances of getting in after he recently won his fifth gold bracelet.
They also weigh in on two hot topics from this week in poker — whether or not phones, spurred by solver software debates, and excessive masking should be allowed at poker tables.
Speaking of gold, Malcolm Trayner captured his first WSOP bracelet in Event #5: $1,000 Mystery Millions for $1,000,000, while two other players scored million-dollar bounties. Unfortunately, their reactions were a bit subdued, much to the dismay of many in the poker community.
That said, two other players had boisterous celebrations when they pulled six-figure bounties. See them all in the latest episode as well as a winner interview with Trayner.
Finally, learn about other bracelet winners such as David Prociak and Simeon Spasov, get an update on the $25K Fantasy league, and see Jack Binion walk the halls of the Horseshoe and reminisce about 55 years of the WSOP!
