Daewoong Song moved all in from the button for his last 10,000 before Stephen Sola rejammed from the small blind. It was then on Anze Smajd who snap-called.
Daewoong Song: Kx4x
Stephen Sola: Qx6x
Anze Smajd: AxKx
The board ran out jack-high and the ace-high of Smajd was enough to earn a double knockout and the bounties.
Joseph Marchal opened to 25,000 from under the gun and Jordan Spurlin three-bet to 52,000 in middle position before chip leader Josh Reichard four-bet jammed on the button. Marchal called for a total of 97,000 and Spurlin also called.
Joseph Marchal: A♠A♥
Jordan Spurlin: K♥K♣
Josh Reichard: 8♣8♥
Marchal's aces stayed ahead as the board ran out 9♣9♦5♥10♣4♦ to earn him a triple, while Spurlin won a big side pot off Reichard.
David Levy opened from under the gun and Anze Smajd defended in the big blind.
Smajd checked on the flop of 4♣Q♦4♥ and Levy continued for 22,000. Smajd check-raised to 50,000 and Levy quickly three-bet jammed for around 300,000 to bring a quick fold from Smajd.
But did you know that Thursday night’s festivities marked the first PokerStars Players Party in Las Vegas in 13 years? It was way back on July 11, 2010, during the annual World Series of Poker (WSOP) that the online poker giant rented out the entire nightclub at the Palms for an epic party that featured an exclusive performance by none other than Snoop Dogg.
As Day 2 of the $1,650 NAPT Main Event was winding down on Thursday night, players were invited to Resorts World’s famed Zouk Nightclub from 8-11 p.m. for free drinks, appetizers, and entertainment. While Snoop Dogg was NOT in the house sippin’ on gin and juice, plenty of notables were in attendance.
Foremost among them was 17-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth, who earlier in the afternoon busted the Main Event about a dozen spots shy of the money. Donning his trademark black and gold tracksuit complete with matching Luxon Pay hat, Hellmuth was joined by his sister, Anne, a 33-time Special Olympics gold medalist visiting from Madison, Wisconsin.
Hellmuth stayed busy rubbing elbows with various industry movers and shakers while taking time to snap selfies with fans before ducking out around 10 p.m. to register the $5,300 8-Game tournament late taking place upstairs.
On a board of J♠A♦9♦2♠, Dylan Linde led from the small blind for 65,000 and got called in late position by Camille Brown.
The K♠ rolled off on the river and Linde went into the tank for a moment before moving all in. Brown thought over her options for almost two minutes and eventually put the chips in for a call.
Linde tabled J♣9♣ for a flopped two pair and Brown flashed A♥3♥ before making her exit in 16th place.
The Oracle Red Bull Formula One racing team released a promotional video ahead of November’s Las Vegas Grand Prix and it's an action-packed preview of what F1 has to offer when it invades the Strip this fall.
Readers might remember hearing about the race car tearing through the Wynn Las Vegas last November. It appears that was part of the production for Red Bull's epic race through Las Vegas.
