Campbell Scores Double Knockout

Level 4 : 300/600, 600 ante
Matthew Campbell
Matthew Campbell

All the chips were in the middle preflop with Matthew Campbell as the big stack. He was in early position and had both the hijack and cutoff covered.

Hijack: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Cutoff: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}
Matthew Campbell: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

Campbell was in good shape with kings, and the board of {7-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{3-Clubs} could not have run any cleaner for him to take out two competitors and be amongst the chip leaders of Day 1d.

Kotsifis' Two-Pair Secures The Double-up

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

With a pot of roughly 30,000 in the middle and a board showing {3-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{j-Spades} the small blind moved in for his remaining 46,100. Michail Kotsifis was next to act and didn't take much time before putting in his stack of 46,500, just barely covering the all-in player.

Michail Kotsifis: {10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Opponent: {7-Spades}{3-Spades}

The turn was the money card for Kotsifis as he made a better two-pair, scooping the large pot and sending his opponent to the re-buy line.

Another familiar face in Day 1d of the Housewarming is Ukraine's Eugene Katchalov.

Earlier this year, Katchalov escaped Ukraine after the Russian invasion and Ukraine's all-time money list is here in Las Vegas for the WSOP looking to add to the bracelet he won back in 2011.

Dennis Fires on All Three Streets

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

Already facing a min-raise and call before him in the small blind, Brian Dennis re-raised to 2,700, which prompted one fold and a call from the original raiser who was on the button.

The flop came out {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, and Dennis bet 7,500. His opponent called.

The turn card was the {4-Hearts}. Dennis bet 5,500 and his opponent called once again.

The river was {5-Hearts} and Dennis bet out for 10,000 which caused his opponent to fold.

Niall Farrell
Niall Farrell

Action folded to the cutoff who opened for 800, small blind called and Niall Farrell three-bet from the big blind to 4,000. The cutoff called and the small blind got out of the way.

The flop came {9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Spades} with Farrell continuation betting to 3,000. His opponent quickly raised to 10,000 and Farrell decided on a fold.

Fernandes Flops Set

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

Action was picked up on the flop of {8-Hearts}{j-Spades}{k-Clubs}, and Lucas Fernandes bet 4,000 from the small blind. Only the player in middle position called to get a look at the turn.

The {7-Spades} hit the felt, and both players slowed down, each checking their option.

When the dealer completed the board with {a-Hearts} river, Fernandes stepped on the gas again, betting 12,000. His opponent in middle position cautiously slid his chips in for the call, and Fernandes tabled {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} for a flopped set. The other player mucked without showing.
