Can Eveslage Defend His Title in Event #7: $1,500 Dealer's Choice (6-Handed)?

Matthew Pitt

Welcome back to PokerNews, the official media partner of the 2024 World Series of Poker and home of live updates from all bracelet events.

Today sees the start of Event #7: $1,500 Dealer's Choice (6-Handed) here at Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas.

This three-day event gets underway at 2 p.m. local time with late registration open for 9 levels. There will be 15-minute breaks every three levels, with no dinner break scheduled on Day 1.

The starting stack is 25,000 chips with the plan for Day 1 to play 15 levels. Day 2 resumes at 1 p.m. where levels increase to 60 minutes.

Last year's event saw 456 players generate a prize pool of $608,760. The winner was Chad Eveslage who defeated Andrew Kelsall heads-up to win $131,879 to win his second WSOP bracelet — and first of two in 2023!

"The mixed atmosphere is much, much more laid back. We were joking around heads up," he told PokerNews. "It's nice, you know ... I imagine it never gets old winning a World Series of Poker bracelet."

Chad Eveslage: XxXx/3?K?10?5?
Yueqi Zhu: 8?A?9?/6?J?6?5?

Action checked around to Zhu who bet on fourth street and received a call from all three opponents.

All four players checked through fifth and sixth streets. On seventh street action checked around to Udornpim who bet. All three opponents made the call.

Udornpim had the high with trip fours. Zhu had a nine-low for the other half and both Eveslage and the bring in opted to muck. Zhu and Udornpim chopped a healthy pot while Eveslage was left with about half a starting stack.

A player with a six completed and received calls from Carol Fuchs and a player in the bring in.

Fuchs bet fourth street and forced a fold from the bring in while receiving a call from the other player.

"Big" O Indeed

Level 9

Big O

A player in the cutoff raised to 1,600. On the button, Hitesh Patel called, as did Joao Vieira in the big blind.

On the 8?7?5? flop, the action was checked to Patel, who bet 5,000 and received calls from both players.

The turn brought the 3?. The action was checked again to Patel, and he continued to apply pressure with a pot-sized bet of 20,600. Vieira called all-in for around 13,000, and the player in the cutoff also called.

On the 5? river, Patel bet his remaining 25,000 and got called by the cutoff.

Joao Vieira: A?K?Q?7?4? All in
Cutoff: K?K?9?6?2?
Hitesh Patel: J?6?5?4?3? All in

Patel rivered a full house to win the high and ace-four was good enough for the low for Vieira. Patel and the cutoff split the side-pot.

Kuhn Wins Four-Way All In to Bust Matusow and Leave Fuchs with Crumbs

Level 10

Pot-Limit Omaha

Mike Matusow was recently eliminated in a massive pot that featured four players going all in.

According to the players at the table, Mike Matusow and another player had already gone all in preflop. Two other players who still had chips behind, Carol Fuchs and Keenan Kuhn, saw a flop of A?A?2?. A flurry of action saw the rest of the chips go into the middle, with Kuhn committing a further 48,800 to put himself all in and Fuchs having him slightly covered.

Keenan Kuhn: A?Q?2?10? All in
Carol Fuchs: A?J?7?K?

Although the hands were missed, the players at the table mentioned that both Matusow and the other player who had gone all in preflop were drawing virtually dead versus Kuhn's flopped full house. Fuchs, however, hit one of her outs when the 7? turn gave her a better full house. Kuhn took the lead right back when the Q? improved his hand to an even bigger full house to take down a massive pot while sending two players to the rail and leaving Fuchs with less than half a starting stack.

Player	Chips	Progress
Keenan Kuhn	94,500 58,900	58,900
Carol Fuchs	11,000 -54,000	-54,000

Level 14

Stud 8 or Better

Maxx Coleman called the bring in and another player raised, moving all in with his short stack in the process. The bring in got out of the way and Coleman called to put his opponent at risk.

Opponent: 5?2?4?/5?Q?4?K? All in
Maxx Coleman: 7?7?6?/10?6?9?5?

Both players made two pair by the end but Coleman was good at showdown with sevens and sixes and, with neither player having a low, he took the whole pot while his opponent was sent to the rail.

Level 15

After 15 40-minute levels the action has come to a close on Day 1 of Event #7: $1,500 Dealer's Choice Six-Handed here at 55th World Series of Poker (WSOP) at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. The event attracted a star-studded field of 530 entrants that included several poker hall of famers, bracelet winners and mixed game specialists while also topping last year's attendance of 456 for this event. The entrants from this year's event created a massive $707,550 prize pool.

Five-time bracelet winner Benny Glaser found himself near the very top of the counts by the end of the night, finishing with 261,500. Other notables to bag big by the end of the night include Scott Bohlman (259,500), Andrew Kelsall (240,500), Hanh Tran (225,500) and Jeff Madsen (193,000).

End of Day 1 Top Ten Chip Counts

Rank	Player	Country	Chips
1	Michael Wagner	United States	272,000
2	Jacob Hamed	United States	262,500
3	Benny Glaser	United Kingdom	261,500
4	Scott Bohlman	United States	259,000
5	Andrew Kelsall	United States	240,500
6	Hanh Tran	Austria	225,500

8	Ryan Pedigo	United States	213,500

Day 1 Action

Although the action was slow to start today, given the slow structure, deep starting stacks, and the presence of many split-pot games, the pace quickened up following the first break. Defending champion Chad Eveslage found himself in rough shape early on after being chopped up by Yueqi Zhu and Nitis Udornpim in a hand of Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo Regular. Eveslage nursed a short stack for most of the day following that hand before ultimately falling in one of the last levels of the night.

Another highlight midway through the day saw Keenan Kuhn win a four-way all in Pot-Limit Omaha hand to bust Mike Matusow and leave Carol Fuchs, who won this event in 2015, on a very short stack.

Other notables who joined the action but fell before the end of the night include Adam Friedman, Phil Hellmuth, Daniel Negreanu, Scott Seiver, Brad Ruben, Greg Raymer, Norman Chad, Todd Brunson, Alex Livingston, Nick Schulman and Allen Kessler.

Day 2 picks up tomorrow, May 31, at 1 p.m. local time on Level 16. The plan is to play ten 60-minute levels, with a 15-minute break after every two levels and a 60-minute dinner break after Level 21 at approximately 7:30 p.m.

As always, stay tuned to PokerNews for our continuing coverage of this event until a winner is crowned on June 1, the final day.
