Livello 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Brandon Schwartz suffered through two straight hands he would likely want back.

On the first hand, Schwartz’s A♦K♠ couldn’t overcome Krasimir Yankov’s A♠7♠ when the 7♥ hit the flop.

The result left Schwartz with 1,100,000 and in the big blind on the very next hand when
Mostafa Haidary raised 500,000 on the button.

With 250,000 committed to the ante and 250,000 to his big blind, Schwartz stuck what remained of his chip stack in the middle to call Haidary’s raise.

“Let’s do it,” Schwartz said.

Brandon Schwartz: 9♠2♠ All in
Mostafa Haidary: J♥5♥

The dealer fanned 3♥8♠J♦ on the flop, giving Haidary a commanding lead. The A♣ on the turn and 6♥ sent Schwartz to the rail.

Schwartz collects $209,606 for his fourth-place finish.

WATCH: 15-Way Chop at Wynn & Lady Kicked Out of WSOP | PokerNews Podcast #839

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

In the 839th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway is joined by Kyle Anderson and Connor Richards at Level 9 in Las Vegas and talk about latest from the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) and about town, including the much-talked-about 15-way chop in the Wynn Summer Classic Ladies Event.

Speaking of ladies, one was kicked out of a WSOP tournament as seen in a viral clip circulated on social media, but Phil Hellmuth wasn't around to see it as he took a break to head north to Montana for a family wedding. However, he soon returned to Las Vegas and immediately made a run at bracelet No. 18. Meanwhile, Daniel Negreanu keeps running into pocket aces!

Speaking of bracelet runs, the son of 2005 WSOP Main Event Joe Hachem nearly followed in his father's footsteps by capturing WSOP gold. While he fell one spot short, Daniel Hachem's run is still one of the most heart-warming stories of the 2024 WSOP thus far. Plus, learn about recent bracelet winners such as James Obst and Magnus Edengren, the "Studs & Duds" from the $25K Fantasy league, and remembering bracelet winner Matthew Parry, who unexpectedly passed away this week.

Finally, Chad wrote a poker history piece involving David Sklansky, who is looking to sell a pair of rare 1982 WSOP gold watches, and a look ahead to next week's $600 PokerNews Deepstacks Championship bracelet event.

A new PokerNews Podcast will drop twice weekly during the 2024 WSOP every Tuesday and Friday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time. Make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you do not miss an episode!
