George Dolofan Bags Biggest, Erik Seidel Off to Great Start on Day 1b of Main Event

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Play on Day 1b of the 2024 World Series of Poker Main Event at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas has drawn to a close after five two-hour long levels. From the time 2004 Main Event champion Greg Raymer did the honors by announcing the ceremonial "Shuffle Up and Deal!" to the last hand of the day shortly after midnight, roughly 830 hopefuls ponied up a cool $10,000 to begin a journey they all hope will end with victory and a place in the annals of poker history.

By the end of the night, 616 had kept that dream alive with a bag of chips and a seat to return to on Day 2abc. Of those who entered the fray, Poker Hall of Famer and 1988 Main Event runner-up Erik Seidel put himself in a strong position heading into the second day by accumulating 183,600 in chips. Seidel benefited from a late surge that saw him crack his opponent's aces with a flopped set of kings to score a knockout and a large pot.

"This was a very good Day 1 for me. To triple up is great," said Seidel as he bagged his chips, adding that it is "very easy to go bust, so it's nice to be alive and have some chips." Although he admitted making one mistake, Seidel noted that his "tables were very good" and that he was still "fairly happy" with his level of play.

Seidel is already one of the all-time greats, and perhaps his indisputable level of success has allowed him to approach the tournament with some levity. "You buy a lottery ticket, you hope to beat some ridiculous odds. I don't take this tournament too seriously. If you get on a nice run, great!"

Although fellow Hall of Famer Phil Ivey won his eleventh bracelet a couple of weeks ago to move clear of Seidel on the all-time leaderboard, that fact seems to be of little concern to "Seiborg."

"I just love to play. I'm not really that focused on bracelets. They're nice when they come, but it's not my prime motivation. I'm just trying to do well."

George Dolofan was likely the entrant most pleased with their work today after he spun his starting stack up to a mammoth 314,000. Matthew Sabia was another player with a bag stack at the end of the night, having amassed 297,400. Neither of those two have cracked seven figures in live earnings, but a deep run in this event could very well change that.

Other players who managed to navigate their way through the day to end with an above-average stack include Patrick Hagenlocher (270,300), Vladas Tamasauskas (268,300) and Aaron Werner (246,900). Werner took down a large pot during the last level with a raise on the river to propel his stack over the 200,000 mark.

As one would expect, many notables were present in the field. Some found a bag, including high stakes crusher Artur Martirosian (166,300), 2019 Main Event champion Hossein Ensan (166,000) and four-time bracelet winner Ben Yu (125,600). British online phenom Patrick Leonard also survived, but will have his work cut out for him on Day 2 as he returns with just 18,800.

Others were less fortunate, falling at the first hurdle to see their hopes dashed far earlier than they would have liked. The 2021 WSOP Player of the Year, Josh Arieh, was one such individual after he dwindled down to bust before the dinner break. The aforementioned Raymer, who knocked out Arieh in third place en route to his main event victory twenty years ago, lasted a little longer, but all in vain as he ran his jacks into aces late in the day to hit the rail.

What neither of these players suffered, however, is the fate that befell Tony Guglietti, namely busting on the very first hand of play. Guglietti ran his straight into the nut flush of John Gutierrez to send him packing mere minutes after taking his seat. While one could reasonably debate the level of misfortune involved compared to the merits of his play, what is certain is that Guglietti will have been left with a bitter taste in his mouth as he joined two others from Day 1a in a club no one wants to be a member of.

Anyone fortunate enough to have survived the day will return Sunday, July 7, at noon local time, when they will be joined by the survivors of days 1a and 1c to play another five levels. Late registration remains open for two more levels on Day 2, so while initial numbers are down from 2023, there is still hope of getting close to or even surpassing that record-breaking field.

Coverage of the 2024 Main Event continues tomorrow at 12 p.m. PDT with the PokerNews live reporting team on hand to catch the action from Day 1c. Stay tuned for all the excitement, as the poker event of the year has only just begun!

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Eric Welch
Eric Welch

Heads-up on a board of A?Q?2?3?, Eric Welch bet 12,500 from early position before the small blind moved all in for 41,000. Welch took several minutes before calling to put his opponent at risk.

Welch had 8?6? for a flush, while his opponent showed A?Q? for top two pair and the nut flush draw. The river was the 7? and the small blind missed all of his outs as he headed to the rail with just a few minutes left in the day.

Werner Raises the River

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Aaron Werner
Aaron Werner

Aaron Werner three-bet to 4,000 in the cutoff and an opponent in the hijack called.

The flop came Q?3?6? and the hijack led out for 3,500. Werner called and the 8? fell on the turn.

His opponent then bet another 8,200 and Werner again called. The river was the 8? and the hijack fired out 15,000.

Werner took more than a minute before emerging with a raise to 40,000. His opponent also took a few minutes and eventually folded.

"Sixes or queens?" tablemate Matt Salsberg asked, but Werner simply shrugged and took in the pot.

Action was picked up on a 8?9?5? flop with 6,000 in the middle.

Toby Price: Q?6? All in
Kinesh Pather: 8?5?

The turn K? immediately catapulted Price into the lead before a safe 10? river rolled off, securing the double for Price and extending his tournament run.

Harrison Gimbel had a raise of 15,000 in front of him from middle positon before Chen Guangcheng moved all in for 46,800 in the cutoff. Gimbel tanked for several minutes until Guangcheng called the clock. The countdown was nearing zero before Gimbel finally decided to call and put Guangcheng at risk.

Chen Guangcheng: K?K? All in
Harrison Gimbel: A?K?

Guangcheng was ahead with his kings as Gimbel missed the 7?6?5?2?J? board, securing the late-night double up for Guangcheng.

Fossilman's Tournament Comes to an End

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Greg Raymer
Greg Raymer

Greg Raymer found himself at risk from under the gun for 33,300 against Gabriel Penescu in middle position with the biggest stack of all and Adam Curchak on the button, who moved all-in for his last 8,600.

Adam Curchak: 9?9? All in
Greg Raymer: J?J? All in
Gabriel Penescu: A?A?

Penescu was on his way to score a double elimination after the flop of 8?8?3?, but Curchak was lucky enough to hit the 9? on the turn to get a full house. The 8? on the river gave a boat to all three players, but it wasn't enough to save Raymer who was eliminated.

The 2004 WSOP Main Event champion kindly put his signature on his fossil and offered it to Penescu before taking a last picture with him and leaving the tournament area.

Martinelli Catches Running Deuces to Knock Out Lindgren

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Erick Lindgren
Erick Lindgren

As the players at the table recounted, Dan Shak opened from the cutoff and received calls from Erick Lindgren in the cutoff and Luke Martinelli in the big blind.

The flop came 9?4?4x. Martinelli checked, Shak checked, Lindgren bet 1,000, Martinelli raised to 2,800, Shak folded and Lindgren called.

The 2x turn did not complete the possible flush draw. Martinelli bet 3,000 and Lindgren called, leaving about 12,000 behind.

The double board-pairing 2x river also did not complete the possible flush draw. Martinelli shoved, covering Lindgren who called to put himself at risk.

Lindgren had A?Q? for an ace kicker to the two pair on the board. Martinelli had flopped a flush draw with 5?2? and made running trips to send Lindgren to the rail and take down a sizable pot.

Heads-up on a board of 8?Q?2?8?, George Dolofan bet 7,000 from under the gun and an opponent on the button called.

The river was the 7? and Dolofan bet another 16,000. His opponent quickly called, then mucked when Dolofan showed J?9? for a rivered flush as he built his stack up to 250,000.

Mather Calls Down Neilson

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Bob Mather
Bob Mather

Bob Mather was just interviewed by Jeff Platt, but shockingly didn't lose his next pot.

Mather and Daniel Neilson went heads-up to the turn on a board of 4?2?6?J? when Neilson bet 4,000 from the big blind. Mather called in early position.

The river was the 9? and Neilson bet another 7,000. Mather snap-called with A?A? and Neilson's cards quickly hit the card as Mather took down the pot.
