Arganian Back From The Brink

Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
David Arganian
David Arganian

David Arganian: {10-Hearts}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts} / {3-Hearts}{10-Spades}{10-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
John Bunch: {6-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} / {6-Hearts}{7-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Scott Lake: {6-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{4-Clubs} / {7-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}

David Arganian was down to a paltry 10,000 in chips earlier but survived all-in situations to get up to a little over 100k again.

Jon Kyte was the bring-in with the {2-Diamonds}. Arganian completed the {3-Hearts}, John Bunch made it two bets with the {6-Clubs}, Scott Lake cold-called with the {7-Clubs}, and Arganian came along as well.

Bunch bet fourth street and received two callers. On fifth, both Arganian and Bunch had open pairs and the former bet all in for 60,000. Bunch made it 140,000 and Lake called with a sigh. Both active players then checked sixth street.

On the river, Bunch stuck in another bet and Lake called it off. Bunch was the first to show and showed three sixes. Arganian rolled over {10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades} for tens full to win the high in the main pot, while Lake showed 7-6-4-3-A for the only qualifying low to take the other half of the main pot. Bunch and Lake chopped the extra money in the side pot.

Kirill Tsyngalev Eliminated in 15th Place ($5,297)

Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Kirill Tsyngalev
Kirill Tsyngalev

Kirill Tsyngalev: {4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} / {8-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{9-Spades}{8-Spades} / {k-Spades}
Kenny Hsiung: {j-Spades}{2-Hearts} / {j-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} / {8-Diamonds}
Brian Scholl: {x-}{x-} / {4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} - folded on fourth street

Brian Scholl was the bring-in with the {4-Diamonds}. Kenny Hsiung completed with the open jack, Kirill Tsyngalev called, and Scholl called as well. On fourth street, Tsyngalev bet with the open ace, Scholl folded, and Hsiung folded. The remainder of Tsyngalev's stack went in on fifth street.

Tsyngalev bricked his low draw and couldn't catch more than a pair of eights for high. Hsiung's split jacks were best start to finish to send the Russian packing straight away.

Will Jeff Madsen Capture Bracelet #5 Today? Tune In To Stud Hi-Lo from 1 P.M. Onwards

Jeff Madsen

Out of a field that once sported 471 hopefuls, only fifteen remain after two days in search of WSOP immortality, the coveted bracelet, and the bragging rights that go along with it. Those left in Event #36: $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo, the lowest Stud-8 events on the 2022 WSOP schedule, will be playing down to a winner.

Each of them has already locked up a portion of $5,297 out of the total prize pool of $628,785, but all eyes are locked on the first-place prize of $135,260 that awaits the winner at the end of the night.

The biggest name left in the field is undoubtedly Jeff Madsen. The four-time bracelet winner's last victory is already seven years ago, but returning third in chips on the final day, he finds himself in a great spot to try and join the likes of Jason Mercier, Brian Rast, and Shaun Deeb as a five-time champion.

Madsen will start the day with 1,340,000 in chips, slightly behind fellow bracelet winner Kenny Hsiung with 1,560,000 in chips. Both of them are dwarfed by Chris Papastratis, who amassed a massive 3,200,000 on Day 2 and will be the odds-on favorite coming into the final day.

The players will return to Bally's Events Centre on Saturday, June 17 at 1 p.m. PDT to battle it out for the first-place prize and WSOP gold bracelet. Play will resume in Level 26 with limits at 40,000/80,000 and an ante of 10,000. Make sure to stay glued to PokerNews as we bring you every scooped �� and chopped �� pot until a winner has been crowned.
