Position Raise Backfires

Level 19 : Blinds 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

After action folded to the button, Pete "PeteChen" Chen raised to 4,800.

The position aggression worked on the small blind, who folded, but Tiger8888888 in the big blind elected to defend and call.

The flop brought Q?7?A?, and both players checked. There was no action on the turn, which saw 10?, and then consecutive checks on the A? on the river.

��Tiger8888888�� showed 8x7x for a pair, and Chen mucked the hand.

Sarah Herzali Comes Up Shy of Being First Female Bracelet Winner of 2023 WSOP

Level 16 : Blinds 600/1,200, 150 ante

Though the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) has only been underway for a week and a half, there have already been multiple female players who have closed in on WSOP bracelets.
First Kristen Foxen finished seventh in Event #6: $5,000 Mixed No-Limit for $69,683 (and later finished 12th in Event #16: $25,000 High Roller for $79,335), and later France's Sarah Herzali made a deep run in Event #15: $1,500 6-Handed No-Limit Hold'em that had poker fans wondering if she would be the first female champion of the 2023 WSOP.
Though Herzali, who entered the tournament with $552,104 in Hendon Mob earnings, came short of winning a bracelet, she finished third for a career-best $207,720 and to make the deepest run of any woman at the WSOP so far this year.
