Suk Bang Bagged Massive Chip Lead in Event #21: $1,000 PLO
Livello 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Day 1 of Event #21: $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha 8-Handed at the 2023 World Series of Poker saw a tremendous turnout both in volume and quality of players. There were a whopping 2,017 entries, which is quite the increase compared to the 1,891 that last year saw. This generated a prize pool of $1,795,130. The buzz was palpable here at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. At the end of the day, only 117 hopefuls remained after 17 levels of play.
Suk Bang spent the day cruising up the chip counts. For the final five hours of play, he not only held on to but he added to the chip lead. Bang first eclipsed half a million in chips with a big raise on the river and when the dust settled on Day 1, he was one of only two players with over a million in chips. There is a large gap between them as Bang's stack contains 445,000 more chips than Ido Aboudi in second place.
Top Ten Chip Counts
| Rank | Player | Country | Chip Count | Big Blinds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Suk Bang | United States | 1,465,000 | 147 |
| 2 | Ido Aboudi | Israel | 1,020,000 | 102 |
| 3 | Jorge Hou | Panama | 913,000 | 91 |
| 4 | Mike Dentale | United States | 760,000 | 76 |
| 5 | Nicolas Gola | United States | 740,000 | 74 |
| 6 | Amnon Filippi | United States | 735,000 | 74 |
| 7 | Mike Gorodinsky | United States | 734,000 | 73 |
| 8 | Eric Fields | United States | 730,000 | 73 |
| 9 | Thomas Taylor | Canada | 725,000 | 73 |
| 10 | Matthew Hamilton | United States | 635,000 | 64 |
The only other player pushing the boundary of a million was Panama’s Jorge Hou. This is quite the disparity from last year, where there were four contenders progressing into Day 2 with over a million in chips.
WSOP bracelet winners Amnon Filippi (735,000) and Mike Gorodinsky (734,000) finished Day 1 in the top ten, but their stacks are around half the size of Bang.
There were plenty of big names that made Day 2, including Lawrence Brandt (538,000), Max Pescatori (508,000), Dylan Weisman (456,000), Fernando "Jnandez" Habegger (316,000), Daniel Negreanu (289,000), Josh Arieh (210,000), and a plethora of other bracelet winners and household names.
One big name that made it into the money but left poker fans wanting more was the legendary Johnny Chan. He, unfortunately, did not make it through to Day 2.
Everyone heading into Day 2 at 12:00 p.m. on June 9 is guaranteed $2,463, but all eyes will be on the top prize of $267,991 as players battle it out for the gold bracelet. Play resumes on Level 18, meaning blinds are 5,000/10,000 with a 10,000 big blind ante.
Stay tuned to PokerNews for all the updates from this event from the "shuffle up and deal" until a winner is crowed.

Donabedian's Dominance
Livello 17
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu was facing a bet from Andrew Donabedian on a board that read 7♣4♦2♣. Negreanu didn't take long before potting it, and Donabedian wasted no time in getting his chips in the middle.
Negreanu asked, "Do you have a pair and a flush draw?" before he was shown the bad news.
Andrew Donabedian: A♣8♣4♥2♠
Daniel Negreanu: A♦2♦9♣3♣
"Oh, no - you've got me crushed."
Both players had a very similar hand, but Donabedian had a better flush draw, so when the 5♣ fell on the turn, the river was just a formality.
Negreanu was then left to wade through a sea of chips as the dealer sorted the pot.
For Donabedian, four cards are apparently not enough, as he was seen firing up a match of Magic: The Gathering as he waited for his next hand.

Final Three Hands
Livello 17

The tournament director has paused the clock with 10 minutes left, and announced the final three hands of the night.
Lorenz Shows the Dry Ace
Livello 17
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
The under-the-gun player raised to 18,000 before Hyndi Khomutetsky made the call and Darryl Lorenz three-bet to 50,000 from the small blind. The under-the-gun player called and Khomutetsky walked away from the table as she forfeited her hand.
The dealer fanned a flop of 9♦3♦2♦ and Lorenz continued for 40,000 which was enough to earn the pot.
"Got the ace of diamonds anyway," Said Lorenz as he tabled A♦A♠4♠3♥.
Lorenz finished in 29th place in the 2021 World Series of Poker $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha, and is looking to beat that this year as he's building a healthy stack approaching the end of Day 1.

"I Had a Bazillion Outs"
Livello 17
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
With 57,000 in the middle on the 7♦6♦6♥ flop, the action checked to Jonathan England who put out a bet of 32,000. Tony Diehl eyed up England's stack and put out a raise to 100,000. The third player in the hand quickly mucked and England went into the tank.
"Sorry," England apologized to the table after about 10 seconds of thinking. He continued to think for a few more moments before saying, "I don't want to fold, but I think I have to." And he tossed his cards into the muck.
"Good fold," Diehl responded as he showed K♠Q♠6♣5♣ for trip sixes.
After seeing the hand England said, "Ah, I had like a Bazillion outs."

Liedtke Doubles
Livello 17
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Mark Liedtke raised to 21,000 on the button, and Dong Chen reraised from the big blind. Liedtke had 31,000 in total and quickly called.
Mark Liedtke: A♦J♠9♠4♣
Dong Chen: K♣K♥Q♣10♣
"You have kings!?" Liedtke said, "Well, I can beat that, I'm sure."
The flop of 4♦3♣2♥ gave Liedtke a pair and a straight draw, but he was still behind to the pair of kings. The 7♠ turn was no help, but the J♣ river improved him to two pair, which meant he could stay sitting in his chair a little longer.

Ladies For The Lass
Livello 17
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Esther Taylor was seen moving the last of her chips in the middle with one hand and sipping a glass of red wine with the other. She seemed rather pleased when someone raised over the top of her 30,000 chip wager.
Heads up and with Taylor at risk, both players flipped their hands on their backs.
Esther Taylor: Q♥Q♦10♥8♦
Opponent: A♥J♣J♠10♣
Taylor remained ahead on the flop as the dealer revealed the 9♠4♦2♣.
The turn did provide a sweat as her opponent picked up straight outs with the 8♠ that peeled. Fortune favored the ladies in this particular hand as the 3♠ completed the board and rewarded Esther "E-Tay" Taylor the pot.
