David Wins as Son Catches Too Many Aces

Livello 14

Jeanne David: XxXx/7x8x2x4x
Jaehwa Son: XxXx/7xKxAxAx - folded on sixth street

David bet each street and Son called until a king and running aces forced him to fold, despite his short stack.

"Has anyone said anything about the larger index cards?", Allen Kessler asked PokerNews.

Madsen Muscles, Continues to Amass Chips

Livello 15

Raviv Shevach: XxXx/5x8xJx9x - folded on sixth street
Jeff Madsen: XxXx/5x7xJx3x

Despite having nearly identical up cards, Madsen never took his foot off the gas, betting on fourth, fifth, and sixth. Sixth was enough to do the trick. "I hate when they fold with I pair up," laughed Madsen, as his stack continues to grow.

Hall of Famer McEvoy Building Big at End of Night

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 15

Tom McEvoy: 8x7x2x/3x4x10x9x
Opponent: 8x5x4x/AxJx9x9x

Picking action up four-handed on fifth street, Tom McEvoy bet, and got two opponents to fold, but on remained. On sixth street, both players caught nines, but McEvoy's opponent's nine paired him.

Regardless, McEvoy got a call and then bet dark on seventh street. His opponent quickly called to see the Hall of Famer show an eight-seven to take a sizeable pot that has him among the largest stacks in the room as the night draws toward a close.

Bronshtein Bags Big in Record-Breaking $1,500 Razz

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 15

A record-breaking 556 players entered Event #24: $1,500 Razz, making it the largest live razz tournament in World Series of Poker history. The number shatters the previous record from 2015 of 462 entries.

With that many players in the field, a prize pool of $742,260 was created, and the winner will take home an impressive $152,991 and a WSOP gold bracelet, while 84 players will collect at least a min-cash of $2,409.

Leading the way into Day 2 will be Maksim Pisarenko who bagged 251,500 for the chip lead. Not far behind him, though, are Vasilis Lazarou with 223,500 and two-time bracelet winner Yuval Bronshtein with 207,000.

Of the record-breaking field, 170 players advanced on to Day 2, with plenty of notables bagging chips, including former WSOP Players of the Year Jeff Madsen (190,000), Shaun Deeb (80,000), and David Bach (51,500), multi-time bracelet winners Michael Moncek, (187,000), David "ODB" Baker (185,000), and Marco Johnson (91,500), and Hall of Famer Tom McEvoy (157,000).

Among the notables that failed to make it through to Day 2 were defending champion Daniel Strelitz, Hall of Famers Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth, and Barbara Enright to name just a few.

Day 2 resumes at 1 p.m. local time on June 10th in the Gold section of the Horseshoe Event Center. Levels will be extended to 60 minutes and ten of them will be played, starting at limits of 4,000 and 8,000, with the money bubble expected to be reached midway through the day.
