Dirksen Gets a Shove Through; Boyd Doubles Through Eveslage

Livello 19

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Ryan Goindoo raised to 40,000 on the button and Zack Freeman three-bet to 160,000 in the small blind. Chip leader Dustin Dirksen then moved all-in from the big blind and Goindoo folded, while Freeman was stunned for a second.

"No Limit Deuce they call it, baby" Dirksen exclaimed. Freeman mulled it over for a minute and folded.

Pot-Limit Omaha 8 or Better

Right after that hand had concluded on the other table, Dutch Boyd on the button and Chad Eveslage in the big blind got into a raising war with the former at risk preflop for 419,000.

Dutch Boyd: A♦9♣6♦2♣
Chad Eveslage: A♣A♥K♣10♥

The J♥8♣7♠ flop gave Boyd plenty of outs to scoop and the 10♣ turn was among those. He still had many outs to dodge as Eveslage held the nut flush draw and a gutshot broadway draw to scoop.

The board completed with the 5♥ and Boyd earned the full double.

Eveslage Overbets Like a Chadpion

Livello 19

No-Limit Hold'em

Marco Johnson opened from the hijack and Chad Eveslage defended out of the big blind with a few friends on the rail holding a massive poster featuring Eveslage's 2021 bracelet winner's photo and the words "Play Like a Chadpion."

Eveslage checked on the 8♠4♣4♥ flop and called a bet from Johnson. Both players then checked on the 7♣ turn.

The 8♣ river double paired the board and Eveslage took the opportunity to overbet 150,000 as Johnson entered the tank. Johnson thought it over for several minutes and eventually folded.

Livello 20

Badeucey

Picking things up after the first draw Zack Freeman checked and Dustin Dirksen bet. John Hennigan, who in the previous hand had let out a startled scream as he thought the dealer was about to turn over a flop when he was in fact delivering three cards to Ryan Goindoo, moved all in for 40,000. Both opponents called and each player drew one.

Freeman check-called again after the second draw and drew one with Hennigan and Dirksen stood pat. Freeman then check-folded after the third draw and Dirksen showed 7♦ / 6♠5♥4♦2♣ for a seven low and six badugi to best the six-time bracelet winner and Poker Hall of Famer's A♣ / 9♠7♥5♦4♣.

Pot-Limit Omaha 8 or Better

With a raise to 37,000 and a continuation bet of 40,000 already placed right out in front, Ryan Goindoo in the big blind and Zack Freeman in the under-the-gun position were on the Q♣10♠10♥8♣K♥ river. Goindoo bet 80,000 and Freeman then raised the pot, which forced a tank-fold from his opponent.

Chip leader Dustin Dirksen raised to 40,000 next and Freeman called out of the big blind. The 9♦6♠4♣ flop was checked and Freeman bet 55,000 on the K♣ turn, Dirksen called. Both checked the 5♠ river and Freeman revealed K♠7♣5♣4♠ for two pair.

Dirksen earned the low pot with A♦Q♣9♥8♦ to chop it up.
