Chip Counts
Level: 4
Blinds: 300/500
Ante: 500
According to the WSOP live app.
Players are on a 60-minute dinner break. Play will resume in Level 4 with blinds of 300/500 when they return at approximately 6:43 p.m. local time. A total of 873 players remain in contention on Day 1b.
David Harvey was already all in for his last 4,300 against Jiacheng Li, who had Harvey covered.
David Harvey: A♦7♠
Jiacheng Li: A♠K♣
The board ran out 8♦5♣A♥9♥J♠ — leaving Li best with his king-kicker to eliminate Harvey just before dinner break.
Greg Raymer raised to 1,000 from middle position, and only Kevin Andriamahefa called on the button.
Raymer bet 1,000 on the Q♥6♦K♣ flop, and Andriamahefa called.
The Q♠ on the turn brought another bet from Raymer, this time for 2,500. Once again, Andriamahefa called.
Both players checked the 7♠ river, and Raymer tabled A♥J♠ for ace-high, which was enough to win the pot.
Pierre-Alexandre Lessard opened from middle position to 1,500 and Brandon Mitchell three-bet to 4,000. Eric Berman flatted from the big blind and action was back on Lessard.
Lessard took a little pause before four-betting to 14,000 and Mitchell made a quick five-bet for 25,000. Berman mucked his hand and Lessard took some time before six-bet jamming, covering Mitchell's remaining 63,500 stack.
Mitchell sat and deliberated his decision before opting to muck his hand. After the hand Mitchell shared with the table he had, "ace-king," before asking Lessard, "same hand?"
Lessard replied, "I don't think so," and continued to suggest that he had, "queens."
William Bevan limped in under the gun, and Alexander Winter raised to 2,500 in middle position. Viclouris Dodds called on the button, and Bevan stuck around too.
The dealer spread a J♥9♦Q♦ flop, on which Winter continued for 3,000, and both opponents called.
The K♠ turn brought fireworks.
Bevan led out for 8,000, and Winter called. Dodds then moved all in for 29,200, which Bevan called, before Winter also put his own 21,700 at risk.
Alexander Winter: A♦10♦
Viclouris Dodds: A♥10♥
William Bevan: Q♠10♠
All three players had a straight, but Winter and Dodds were sharing the lead, both having a Broadway straight. Winter was freerolling as well, having a flush draw alongside his straight, which would see him claim the whole pot.
With the players on their feet, the dealer rolled over the 3♦ river, which did indeed improve Winter to his flush.
Once the pot was apportioned, Winter had a full triple-up, while Dodds claimed a small side pot. Bevan was left with less than ten big blinds.
Lyle Diamond checked from early position on the A♠9♠10♥ flop, and John Chase bet 5,000 from a few seats over. Diamond check-jammed for 28,200, and after a brief pause, Chase called.
Lyle Diamond: A♥Q♠
John Chase: A♣K♠
Both players had top pair, but it was Chase's superior kicker that had a stranglehold on the hand.
The J♣ turn and 6♠ river were no help to Diamond, and he became another Day 1 casualty of the Main Event.
