Wilson Wins Despite His Own and Dealer Errors

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

A strange hand took place where David Towson opened from the cutoff for 400 and Alex Wilson threw out a 1,000 chip on the button and said raise after it landed, so it stood as a call. The table was very friendly about the situation, explaining it had to be a call. The small blind and big blind of Reda Bouaboula called.

Strangely, the dealer then dealt a flop of {7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and before anyone could act, she then put the {10-Clubs} down for a turn. Everyone looks around confused and she called the floor over, who ruled that action would continue from the flop, and the {10-Clubs} would not be in play.

Wilson then bet 1,000 when checked to, and the blinds folded before David Towson jokingly said ''Well since the 10 isn't coming I guess I fold!'', as he mucked showing the {10-Spades}. He and his tablemates saw light of the situation, as Wilson took the small pot.

Acker Calls Opponent's Hand But Loses

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

There was a big pot brewing on the {10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{4-Spades}{8-Clubs}{10-Hearts} board. Evan Acker was under the gun and bet 11,000. Andrew McKenzie was on the button facing a decision. He decided on a call.

Acker said "Couldn't fold the queens?" as he turned over {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} while McKenzie turned over {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} for pocket queens to take down the pot with his superior two pair.

Castro Gets Opponent to Fold Top Two

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

There was 4,000 in the middle on the {k-Hearts}{9-Spades}{8-Spades}{q-Hearts} board. Tristan Castro was in early position and checked to his opponent in the cutoff who bet 3,000. Castro raised to 13,000.

His opponent said "Catch a straight on your first hand?". His opponent thought for a bit before folding {k-}{q-} faceup for top two pair and saying "Nice bet" as Castro took in the chips.

David Diaz

David Diaz appeared to be headed out the door with 14 players remaining on Day 7 of the 2022 World Series of Poker Main Event early Thursday morning. But he made a fold for the ages with a full house to remain in contention (momentarily).

Life-changing money is on the line as the final table approaches, along with the most coveted piece of jewelry in poker. When this article was published, the current minimum guaranteed payout was at $525,000, but another six-figure pay jump was at stake deep in poker's world championship event well into Thursday morning.

Toy Is Playing With His Opponent

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Wiliam Toy was heads up from the big blind against the under-the-gun player at a four-handed table. Toy bet 2,500 on a board of {2-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} and his opponent called.

On the river {5-Clubs}, both players checked it down and Toy tabled {q-Spades}{3-Spades} for two pair and his opponent flashed the {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} as they mucked.

''I was gonna call something [amount] off if you bet'', said Toy, as he starts off his day positively.
