Foxen Fails to Get It Through

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Alex Foxen
Alex Foxen

Alex Foxen was in the small blind and had gotten involved in a battle against big blind James Kizer. The board read 8?4?9?7? and both players checked.

The 2? river then fell and Foxen bet 90,000 into a pot of around 150,000. Kizer quickly made the call and Foxen could only show ace-high with A?10?. Kizer, on the other hand, had a pair with K?7? and took down the pot.

Richez Correctly Folds a Full House Against Ketzer

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Clement Richez
Clement Richez

The live stream action head over to the left side feature and showed a completed board of K?K?4?Q?9?.

Clement Richez with the 4?4? bet 200,000 out of the big blind. Felipe Ketzer then raised to 512,000 with the K?Q? for a superior full house, leaving himself 129,000 behind.

That sent Richez deep into the tank and he got away from it for Ketzer to jump above a million in chips.

Michael Jozoff
Michael Jozoff

The board of Q?10?3?7?2? was already dealt with a pot containing around 300,000. Yaroslav Ohulchanskyi checked to Michael Jozoff who shoved for 298,000, putting Ohulchanskyi into a tough decision.

After a few minutes of thinking, Ohulchanskyi eventually called with J?J?. Jozoff reluctantly showed A?K? for ace-high and made his way to the exit while Ohulchanskyi grabbed the big pot.

Peter Nigh Bubbles WSOP Main Event
Peter Nigh Bubbles WSOP Main Event

Bubble play delayed the tournament by roughly one hour, and the 1,197 players that still remain will now take their first 20-minute break.

Fineis Sends Greenstein Packing

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Barry Greenstein
Barry Greenstein

Rhian Fineis opened to 30,000 from late position before Barry Greenstein moved all in for a little over 100,000 on the button. The blinds got out of the way to send the action back to Fineis who quickly called to put Greenstein at risk.

Barry Greenstein: 8?8?
Rhian Fineis: J?J?

Fineis had Greenstein crushed although the 10?J?Q? flop did give the at-risk player a gutshot. It did not come in, however, on either the 4? turn or 5? river to bring Greenstein's Main Event run to an end.

Brian Lamanna opened in the cutoff before Domenico Gala three-bet to 60,000. The blinds got out of the way and Lamanna four-bet to 145,000. Gala announced all-in and Lamanna instantly called off his stack of 328,000.

Brian Lamanna: A?A?
Domenico Gala: A?J?

As the cards were tabled Gala said, "Ugh, I knew you had that."

The board ran out 9?3?2?7?5? for Lamanna's aces to hold as he raked in the pot.

No Gold for Mr. Gold

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Jamie Gold, Main Event, Suffle Up And Deal, Horseshoe Feature Table
Jamie Gold, Main Event, Suffle Up And Deal, Horseshoe Feature Table

Tracy Nguyen raised it up in early position and Jamie Gold shipped all in for just over 200,000 in the hijack. Hermilo Garzavillareal reshoved all in from the cutoff as the biggest stack at the table. The rest of the table folded including Nguyen and the two remaining hands were tabled.

Jamie Gold: AxJx
Hermilo Garzavillareal: AxKx

The flop came KxQx4x to give Garzavillareal a pair of kings but Gold picked up a straight draw. The 8x and 9x runout bricked out for Gold and he made his way to the payout desk, not quite earning the $12,000,000 that he did back in 2006.

Steel Wheel for Luther

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Nikita Luther
Nikita Luther

The under-the-gun player raised to 20,000, finding three callers; the hijack, button and Nikita Luther in the big blind.

The flop came 2?5?2?. The action checked to the hijack who bet out for 30,000. The button called, as did Luther. The original raiser folded.

The 4? turn checked through to the 8? on the river. Luther check again and so did both her opponents.

Left of the button, Luther who had to show first. She tabled the A?3? for a turned straight flush. Unfortunately for her, no additional chips went into the middle on the turn or the river.
